Thread regarding Target Corp. layoffs

Any update on new hires starting in June-October? I reached out to my recruiter, but found out he had been laid off too. No response from HR

I sent two people in HR emails but they haven't responded to me...

Yes, I was the one who posted on another board regarding this. I'm in TA and we were told that all offers that were out and accepted will still happen. How it was worded was "we still have a job for you at Target" so my guess is there is a chance that the specific role or team could change. We received these talking points again Thursday of last week. If they were planning to rescind either they would tell us or say nothing at all.

As someone who was let go from TA, I can tell you that they are working with a skeleton key crew right now. While I can't speak to whether or not your offer will be rescinded, I can tell you it will probably take some time for those few folks left in TA to get back to you. I'm sure you're not the only one worrying about their future job right now - with the high numbers of interns in both stores and HQ it will be interesting to see how this restructure impacts you. Not a good way to start your first career out of college. Best of luck!

Anything can happen. They rescinded the January BAs at the last minute. Best of luck!

Just got a call from my recruiter saying everything is still good to go and they look forward to me starting at Target. If they were going to cut us during the next round of cuts i doubt would be wasting their time calling us. I'm sure they have a lot of other work to do after Tuesday

You do realize that none of the cuts this year had anything to do with performance, right? And you still want to work at Target?

I was hired last summer after my internship to be an MPBA starting in August. My recruiter called me and a few others yesterday and said our offers will not be affected by the layoffs. However I don't know how much I trust that giving there is still another round of layoffs coming so I am starting to look elsewhere just in case.

I was hired as a MPBA, do you think those offers are still on?

OP here, hired to be a TSS BA... I got an answer back from HR, it seems like they're still in the process of figuring out what to do with us. Someone should be in touch soon.

Sorry to hear how HR is ignoring you. They are too busy stabbing us in the back apparently.

If you're a software engineer/developer or in TLP you should be fine.

Nothing to share because no one really knows. If you were hired for TSS BA position, you are more at risk. All you can do is start on a contingency plan which you can control. Or come back to this board and hope someone can give you credible intel

When the question was asked our director said those offers still stand for June. However to the previous posters point, a lot has changed with re-organizing so you may not be doing what you originally thought. I don't know. Just know that no one is giving any clear directions around here.

Someone who allegedly is a part of TA said in an earlier post on this board that if you accepted an offer, you will have a job at Target. However due to the re-org, the role may look a lot different.

Keep in mind that this is the internet, take it with a grain of salt and wait for HR to get in touch with you. Also, work on a contingency plan.

You're just gonna have to be patient. We lost a lot of people here and even internally we still are trying to figure out who are contacts are. People who were partners with us on many things are no longer here. I'm sure once the re-organizing is done someone will be in touch with you.
