Just wondering if Roundel will be impacted during this layoff. None of our leaders have said a word and it’s complete radio silence.

I genuinely believe Target generated the wrath of too many people, and this caused its downfall, unfortunately innocent people who have not been involved in these terrible decisions end up suffering. As an ex employee, my treatment was absolutely... — read more 

Anyone knows if we have any docs that govern layoffs? A policy or procedure doc? Guideliness? Somewhere? Something that outlines the rules (e.g., severance policy, cobra, placement help, resume building help, etc.) Do you maybe know where I can find... — read more 

It surely feels like one. Good luck all!

Heard some concerns in a short meeting today. I’ll just say EVERYONE 🔝⬆️ was caught off guard smh

Anyone else find it funny that they are using the excuse of making faster decisions to justify the layoffs? To the people at the top, the time it takes to make decisions isn’t the problem, ITS THE DECISIONS THAT YOU ARE MAKING THAT IS THE PROBLEM!!... — read more 

Title is the question

Yesterday’s memo saying “effective Tuesday, 1,800 people will be laid off” hit me hard because of the timing and the lack of clarity. Why announce something like that on a Thursday and then expect everyone to carry on as usual until Tuesday? The... — read more 

Naturally tons of rumors going around. Listing below things I have heard that I feel relatively confident in based on my sources. IM & Planning combining. Potentially leading to middle management cuts? A&A combing with another pyramid, likely... — read more 

The SMS have slowly had their role trickle over to India. Even though they’re low on the totem pole, I’m wondering if they’re on the chopping block since they fall within merch. Or since there are the rumors of a second round in January, if the train... — read more 

If you value any anonymity, you should not be browsing or posting here from your work computer. HR and security teams are monitoring Slack, scanning channels and messages for content related to layoffs, and forcing people to delete messages that... — read more 

Does anyone know if we will we receive any layoff email at midnight or later in the morning on Tuesday?

i heard they take 50%??????? can we defer this for 2026 as i'll have low income that year

Will Target enforce non-compete or non-solicit terms for laid-off TMs in 2025... and are there standard waivers or exceptions by level or function?????

soooo if leadership roles are affected at roughly 3x the rate of ICs, what is the target span-of-control after consolidation

for those impacted in previous cuts, what specific support programs helped most [outplacement, alumni network, internal advocates], and which of those are confirmed for 2025? Were they any good???

What happens if you are laid off while enrolled in one of those Guilded Learning programs paid by Target? Will they still pay for the course?

What are the rules for unvested RSUs? Is that addressed in the severance package?

About a decade ago I was cut together with may dear coleagues - us who were affected found real help from the industry... from networking to resume sharing to landing great next roles... Because there were many good people who stayed inside Target... — read more 

a decade+ of bad calls have wrecked the org. period... Merch is an utter mess. It used to be elite - now it is junk. sooo hard to see how they recruit. The brass tanked the stock valuation with suic_idal blunders.

Now I need a COSTUME that fits the VIBE: something between “Corporate Casual” and “Emotional Damage.” Otherwise, I need a costume that says “spooky, broke, and still pretending to care.” 👻🎯 Ideas so far: • 404: Job Not Found • Spirit Halloween... — read more 

I find the ask to wfh next week really icky. What happened to all that talk about connection and collaboration? These are layoffs. There are real people that are going to be affected. Not just another headline.

That’s what I understood, but I just want to be sure. You’ll have to forgive my skepticism and distrust.

Does anyone have insight into whether or not performance reviews will factor into decision making or is it just algorithm based or what?

This is my first time going through a potential layoff, and I’m really struggling with the uncertainty. Ever since we heard the news , I’ve been anxious nonstop — it’s hard to , join calls, or think about much else. How are you coping or... — read more 

Just curious if anyone has rough numbers on how many people are in each level from 4 to 9 at headquarters. I imagine some pyramids are heavier in 4s than others and so on. If sources are saying 1000 actual people will be cut plus roughly 800 open... — read more 

With Michael taking on more as CEO, they’re bringing an outside team to lead enterprise acceleration: Thelma and Louise

If you have invested RSUs and are let go, what happens to them?

If you do get laid off on Tuesday, is that your last day at Target or is it going to be one of those instances where they tell you that you have 60 days? Or maybe you stay on for x amount of time to train your Target India replacements?

But we all know none of them will be affected. You all know who I'm talking about. People who barely do anything but are really good at a-s kissing and yes manning. I'm sure every team has at least one of them, and they've been here forever despite... — read more 

Some VPs and SVPs got laid off yesterday and today. Anyone know who has gone so far?

Will cat & Jack be heavily impacted by layoffs?

Will those that are let go have to sign a non compete?

I know there are a lot of people at target who have worked there many years, and perhaps even their whole career since college. I don’t know how I’ll be impacted next week but I am new enough to target to know this sh-t happens and it su-ks for a... — read more 

Unfortunately those impacted will likely be the team members who actually do the work. As a former Target HQ employee of more than a decade, I can tell you to look at SVPs, VPs, and Sr Directors who have no investment in the team in Minneapolis and... — read more
