Here's the deal. Many are leaving Target giving them an opportunity to not backfill positions. I would be surprised if large layoffs happened again. However, many middle management positions may be on the chopping block at some point as there are still too many in
middle management in much of the organization (looking at you HR) and that was presented before the board sometime late last year. In reality, it needs to happen - too many managers were promoted without any credentials regarding experience or work performance and are not qualified for similar positions outside of Target.
