Thread regarding Target Corp. layoffs

Likely candidate for RIF in next week or so.....

My position is very likely to be eliminated in coming layoffs. Maybe I'll get placed in a new role, maybe not. I have had a great ride, lots of positions and challenging assignments that have prepared me either way. Target seems to be back on the right track for now. I know I've done my share to contribute to the bottom line in significant value.

Best of luck to all who get to continue enjoying the ride, it will be better once the current uncertainties are over in next few weeks.

Those leaving will find another place to keep us occupied, we leave with solid skills.

If you are a PA in TTS, you definitely have a target on your back this week, really doesn't fit into agile / devops model we are headed to.

Anonymous139838: Good on you, do it and enjoy. I was laid off a bit ago and my wife was not. The vacation we took was the best part - NO GUILT! I was with the company for 24 years. We're praying my wife get's a similar package. Cheers!

If I'm chosen to go I'm taking a big chunk of that severance package to take a great vacation with my wife. Been too busy at Target working to really enjoy some time off with her!

Be positive but be ready for uncertainty for few days. Love for Target will not go so soon and you will keep visiting this site.You can vent out here as this might give some relief. Contacts will help but you will also know the real contacts.

LIFE OUTSIDE IS DEFINEITLY GOOD. I HAVENT FIND ONE FOR ME BUT WILL GETVSOON.

If you haven't already be sure and export your email contacts, collect and transfer any personal files etc you may have on your work station. Double check any/all accounts you have that may have your work email as the log in or authenticator and change to a personal email - this was the one that shocked me.... I had tons of these after 16 years. Also, take an hour and thin the personal affects in your workspace. Take them home tonight. Hope it's not needed. Peace!

I agree, thanks for the positive, rational outlook. I would like to add that although we know there are going to be layoffs, I hope the numbers are lower than the mood of this site would suggest. People from TTS who are clearly indispensable have mentioned their fears to me that they might be RIF'd - these are fears that ignore common sense but people are getting edgy just from the suspense. Hang in there, all of us.
