Thread regarding Target Corp. layoffs

I was offered a 6 week severance + 1 wk / year experience. What's anyone else getting? I heard ppl affected by March layoffs, they got 15-17 weeks, the HR bimbo said that's untrue. What kind of packages are you getting?

Get used to it you will be applying their for a job soon

Tcs and cognizant should be banned from entering Target. It worries me that they exercise too much control on us - the team members. We pay them and it seems like we are working for them

I am not from TTS and will never see the big picture of what you all do each day. I thank you for all that you do. I can tell you that from my direct interactions over the years on new systems, enhancements/stability, or band aids that were put over another band aid to keep the systems working; I notice a big difference with contractors and actual Target team members. I do see a difference with people who work directly for the company have a much bigger investment in the overall being of our systems.They have always been great to work with and are fun (and funny) people. The contractors, including the outside companies, have been so frustrating to work with. I seem to go around in circles on every conversation. I don't understand how Target can say that our infrastructure is so important, but don't invest in the people to run and maintain the data. The amount of people who are working on all of our systems and do not have that direct personal investment in the company scares me. I wish you all well and thank you for the work and effort you have put into the company.

All this us vs non us is just taking the blame away from those who truly deserve it. No one group of people is any better than another and right noe we are all in a not nice place/

Talk to navneet. He will take care of you for sure

Reality is Tcs would not be used if Target India could get the job done

MPLS team has landed in problem because of lack of trust with their counterpart Target India, the biggest issue is TCS were just bitching about Target India, stinky TCS chennai people staying in ramsgate who have converted apartment into slum were responsible for this entire mess, they still have the age old idea, i can pin point of couple Indian folks in Solution Engineering & Architect group who are Indians and always bad mouthed about Target India, always maintained lowey dowey relationship with TCS folks, here is the people Solution Engineering JR, RP, PA, SK and from Architect group is GR, ST, JN, SK, DS

We can't buy our degrees in US you need to get them old fashion way or work on a work passport that allow yr lame #$% here

Target India has a horrible turnover and many of their people that partner with Minneapolis have a horrible English that makes it hard to conduct meetings. Nobody forced you to accept the job. Find something better. Although you are partially right. BI, Pharmacy, Canada, etc all the mess was conceived, financed and executed by the people in Minneapolis. Target India had its place when it made sense to "internally outsource" IT labor. But someone tried to outsource things you shouldn't, like Business Analysis and Project Management. The worst project managers I've seen in my career come from India. You are good at Java, .NET, HTML5, ETL-Informatica, DB2 and mainframe. Don't try things like being a PM or BA.

Vendors should go... deloitte and cognizant charge 200$$ per hr.. bain 400$$.. tcs and infy charge 30$ per hr .. and they r the ones that got us into this mess... and why the heck did we give our strategy to cognizant... bloodsuckers

Find another job and get a life dude! Jus because someone irritated you, doesnt mean you can generalize!! I had some of the best partners in mpls and they r great to work with. As 2421 says, we r all one team and in the same sinking boat... chill out fr now

Mangos for poster 421 and extra juice boxes

go work somewhere else.

Consumer prices in the United States is 209% higher than in India. Rent is over 500% higher in the U.S. Food prices well over 300%. Do the financial math..it all adds up to better wages overseas!! Everyone employed should shut up and be thankful!! Let's stop bashing each other we are one team. Good luck to everyone thru this ordeal, I wish everyone the best.

Why don't you come to msp and enjoy the good life

No mango for you
