Hey all, I was among the 21 last week. I am so sad. HR told us we were going to be supported during our 60 day job hunt but they were no where to be found. I'm certain none of us had a chance to find a new role at Target. My team is talented... — read more 

I think we all know who broke up with who.

Is it just corporate DOGE or what are they even doing?

hearing that there are probably significant layoffs happening within Target creative. what are people hearing?

With the RTO mandate for several departnents, get ready for the Great Hall to inundated with coffee chats all day long.

RIP

Ok, Target must be in real trouble if they are dropping the price match policy of which they were always so proud. Guess they have decided they can’t play with the big dogs anymore (WalMart, Amazon). Feels like an identity problem at the Bullseye... — read more 

Are the mandated 3-days in the office for the Merchandising organization just an excuse to fire people? What are people hearing?

What cultural, environmental, strategic, etc. issues have always been there, and what are the more recent developments that have put Target in this increasingly unwinnable position? Are there any positive any changes you have noticed that should... — read more 

Anyone know what's going on in Target Tech? Reorg, layoffs?

I’ve heard the names of 2 different consulting companies that are evaluating areas at Target. Which areas are they evaluating and what are they being asked to provide feedback on?

What are some of the signs at Target specifically that a person or team will be laid off?

I know that Home has had reductions late last year but any other departments? Apparel, Hardlines, or E&B?

At the end of today’s lame TES pep fest, Gemma announced team members based at Target Northern Campus will need to start showing up in their tiny cubes once per week, Wednesdays, beginning on 7/30. This will do nothing to improve Target Team... — read more 

2 full teams were eliminated in Finance today. 12+ people.

I only know of two people who confided in me about their situations (even though they had stellar past reviews they claim). Makes me wonder if this is HR's way of eliminating roles, headcount and quiet laying off people? Not even sure if this is... — read more 

And Target has a front-row seat to the whole mess. Part-time hours, no benefits, and pay that’s starting to fall behind some fast food chains. If you’re still here, the smart move is to start planning your exit now.

Anyone else hearing the results of this year’s Best Team Survey are bleak? My manager alluded to it and was seemingly surprised. How can that come as a shock? Spoiler Alert: Target is not the retailer it was even 6 months ago.

Will return to office be the cudgel Target uses to cull its workforce before they resort to layoffs?

Should we be looking for employment elsewhere?

We are next. I am not talking about small here-and-there cuts. I am talking about a major round coming our way, guaranteed. Between the ongoing boycott and the tariffs, we are in serious trouble.

The Layoff Planning Office, I mean Enterprise Acceleration Office is announced. Will be interesting how fast they accelerate the changes.

Pushed or jumped?

Getting super nervous here at the office. Everyone wondering if this is the core week the axe falls. We know there have been surgical layoffs during each core week so far (well because it’s quarter end, not because it is core week). It feels that the... — read more 

When will Brian Cornell be forced to retire from Target? Or is he even still forced to retire?

Why is Cornell still CEO? Who in their right mind says “it’s grow time!” on stage and the company shrinks in stock value by half over the next two years? The lack of accountability is mind-blowing. We’re back to the 2012 phase of having two... — read more 

Can you share which area you are in and how many days a week you are asked to be in person?

Maybe I am getting disheartened but quarter after quarter missing the mark, watching Amazon and Walmart whether the last few years well, seeing Amazon and Walmart smash earnings and stock keep going up... then we have us, stock well below pre-COVID... — read more

and if they do, do they care ? (target tech)

Good people are leaving Target in droves. The culture is toxic. The way they are treating people is astonishing. Make sure you're looking out for yourself!

I have been hearing that some locations have already started firing people. Not laying off, firing - as in, showing them the door without severance or warning. Is this actually happening? We have not lost anyone here yet, but I would not be surprised... — read more
