Thread regarding Target Corp. layoffs

5 tips for BC and MM

1) Flatten the org by removing Group Managers! They are worthless!

2) STOP the f***ing meetings where people just talk shit and try to show off and sound smart... have valuable meetings!!!! work meetings where people do work collaborative work! not just talk about the work you'll do and never ever gets done or it takes forever.

3) Cut the B players. lots of people with nothing to do. Identify the entrepreneurs, the people that want to work and make a difference, the ones challenging the status-quo.

4) Make Target a technology company, get rid of the retail company image. Retail is going bankrupt!

5) Promote a culture of accountability and strict professionalism. If someone did something wrong, it's ok to point it out. cut the crap (Minnesota nice), and learn to take feedback positive and negative.

What?? This is heresy. This is Target! We don't "do" work. We talk about work. And then when some lowly fool actually does some work, we have another team throw metrics at it, so we can talk about the work some more. End result - one person doing work (who will likely get canned for having the nerve), 5 people riding it for all it's worth. Man, we must make a lot of profit selling those tee shirts to be able to keep this game going.

Any one forgot about delivery managers and senior delivery managers. What a crap TI leadership created. Also Brian....make all manager roles should be based out of Minneapolis. Only engineers should be in TI. Just for status checks you do not need layers. What the heck layers....
