I see a lot of talk about L6’s and up being the target of the layoffs, but I’m wondering if this is a chance to eliminate the remote team members, especially since the RTO mandates which is increasing in person workload for our in-office team... — read more
Who makes the decision?
Who makes the decision on who gets cut or not? Directors? L7s and L8s? Saw a comment about a Sr. Director say to their org that they didn’t know and was blindsided by the news. I personally don’t believe that
TTS will be hit as well
Hearing that no one is safe! If you have a job you are not working OT, then someone will be let go! Be ready to take over and do at least 1-2 times more work if you still have a job.
Failure to WARN - Notice Missing on MN State Website
Pretty embarrassing there is no WARN posted yet on the DEED website - https://mn.gov/deed/programs-services/dislocated-worker/dislocated-worker/news/ Not good.
Pyramids Impacted
Curious if anyone has any insights as to which areas or roles are likely to be impacted the most? The only one I heard was analysts but other threads here seem to be saying Merch.
Any consultants engaged?
Does anyone know?

Will there be any changes to the severance package?
I’ve been hearing some wild rumors, and I really hope none of them are true.
Impact of Layoff to subsidiary
Is the layoffs affecting SHIPT orgs?
The coming weekend will be shittier than usual
I never really get to rest. A day or two off is never enough to relieve all the stress that builds up over the week. The anticipation of next week will probably make it completely consumed by anxiety.
HQ change that fuels our future
On Tuesday, we’ll share changes to our headquarters structure as an important step in accelerating how we work. This includes eliminating about 1,800 non-field roles—about 8% of our global HQ team. As we make these changes, I’m asking all U.S. HQ... — read more
Confused
when is this email coming
I’m over 50, and it feels like that alone makes me a target
I never imagined my age and experience would be a liability when it comes to work, but here we are.
What orgs will be impacted ?
I’m hearing supply chain? Who else e?
Core Inventory Management
Thoughts on the affect on inventory analysts?
Hot off the presses
Just overheard a Sr. Director say that on 10/28 BC plans on tossing the target Lego dog from the C suite lobby onto nicollet mall and then shouting "good luck with this mess everyone" and then retiring early.
My Prediction: Prediction of a Kmart-style wind-down by 2040 if current strategies persist.
Just saying. It's just my gut feel given the direction and how lost the execs are. Zero strategy, poor direction, poor execution. The executives are the ones who should be let go, not the worker.
Will they make any last-minute changes to severance?
Is that something that could happen? My mind keeps coming up with all the worst possible scenarios, and that is the one I cannot stop thinking about right now. It actually makes a bit of sense if the goal is to cut costs, since cutting payouts for... — read more
Don't Panic
There's a lot of anxiety and speculation going on now, and I just wanted to post a friendly reminder to take care of yourself. You're not alone in being anxious, losing sleep, and struggling to function at work. (I am too!) But so far, all we have... — read more
Q4 with layoffs…
I am in a business area where I believe my role and most but not all within the L8 team I’m on are “safe” for now due to Q4 support. However, that is likely not the case come Jan/Feb. I hope/believe that our team will realize this and adjust their... — read more
I think we might have blown this out of proportion
Yes, there will be cuts, but I don’t think it will be as bad as everyone expects. This feels like one of those situations where the story keeps growing the more it is repeated, while the truth is probably closer to where it started.
I don't think I can take another week of this
The stress and anxiety are getting worse, and the constant waiting is unbearable. I don’t know how anyone’s expected to focus or be productive with all of this going on.
Pay and Benefits - Savings and Retirement site weird alert..
Anyone else log into their savings and retirement summary page lately? I see an alert/info icon that says “Need to initiate a 401(k) rollover to another company? If you are looking to withdraw your savings, you may want to consider rolling it... — read more
Lost access to Slack?
Did anyone else lose access to Slack tonight? I was logged out and can’t log back in
Is there a better water cooler forum than Slack?
The Target Reddit is for store team members. People seem way too comfortable talking sh-t on #yelling. No one posts on Blind. Where can we talk?
Any word on remote employees being called back?
There’s been so much rumors about layoffs, but no rumors on return to office for remote employees? Has anyone heard anything about this or will those employees just be part of the larger layoff and we will still keep some employees remote? It seems... — read more
Were Jill and Rick let go today?
Any truth to that? Wouldn’t they announce that?
Any new updates?
Does anyone know anything new?
Any Sr. Leaders Want to Chime In?
I know some Senior Leaders have been meeting this week to get updates. I'm not sure how many details they shared with you, but would you be willing to share some general thoughts here?
So it's not today?
I'm thinking if it was happening today, we'd have heard something about it by now, right?
A 'difficult day' as Target lays off 1,700 - 10 years ago this month
History doesn't repeat, but it does have echoes: https://www.mprnews.org/story/2015/03/10/target-layoffs Good luck to all who wish to keep their jobs (and to those who hope to get laid off to get some paid time to search for something else).
Who gets laid off rumors
I’ve been hearing a mixture of things in the forums around who gets laid off. This is what I’ve gathered: Outside consultants, Accenture, came in to decide which parts of the business we are reducing head count in. For legal reasons, Target can’t... — read more
My sleep pattern is completely messed up
Is anyone actually sleeping normally with all of this going on? I’m almost at the point where I just want it to happen tomorrow, whether I’m laid off or not, just so I can move on. This whole situation is taking a toll on my mental health, and that’s... — read more
BC confirmed rumors
I slacked Brian today asking him if the layoff rumors were true. He reacted with the omg bullseye emoji We’re cooked
