TES Cascading Meetings this Morning
Hearing there are org change meetings today. Surprised that no org changes have been announced when new CEO “officially” starts on Feb 1. Walmart is running laps around Target and they just announced a huge c-suite change last week. Target has a lot... — read more

GSCL and Stores realignment???
Anyone hearing this? Districts will increase average store count. Districts will combine.
How do I go far at Target?
I really want to be a VP or SVP. I’m currently an L5 and just started a couple months ago. People are telling me to do a lot of GTKYs and that it can get pretty political. Is this true? Any advice?
Entitlement
Target really doesn’t owe us anything. At the end of the day we work for Target and they allow us to. It’s a blessing to have a job. There is so much entitlement and it’s wild. If you don’t like how target is running their business don’t work for... — read more
Silence is Violence
Yet again, the Briefly focuses on AI and continues to ignore what’s happening right now. It’s becoming truly concerning. Also, Melissa Kramer’s message only go to Minneapolis-based TMs? This is serious news with major media coverage, and it should’ve... — read more
Just an FYI
Raises don’t save you from layoffs. I got a raise a few months before getting laid off and I was certain I was safe because of it. I mean, they gave me a nice raise, that must mean they value me as an employee and will make sure to keep me, right?... — read more
Isn’t it obvious?
There’s been an outcry in various forums for Target leaders to release statements against the recent events in Minneapolis. I’m confident that won’t happen. If it does, it likely won’t be the response many of us are looking for. If you haven’t... — read more
VP’s and Directors “resigning to pursue other opportunities”
Over the past few days I have seen numerous post and emails regarding VPs and Directors leaving the company to pursue other opportunities. Why? What’s going on? Are they getting ahead of knows cuts in fiscal 2026?
Job offer at Target

The briefly seemed to forget to mention something today…
“If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor.” Desmond Tutu Officially open to work
Cobra and life insurance
For those laid off in October, does anyone know when Target will send instructions for cobra and life insurance? Wouldn’t anll benefits expire this weekend?
I think I'm on my way out
Lately, all my main projects have been canceled or pushed aside. My boss has stopped checking in, and other people are being handed responsibilities that used to be mine. If you've been in the workforce for a while, you learn to recognize these... — read more

Does anyone know when we will get our severance?
Target: Activist Can't Save This Company From Amazon; Reiterate 'Sell'
Summary Target faces intensifying e-commerce headwinds, particularly from Amazon, undermining its long-term growth prospects. I see TGT’s recent activist involvement and 13x forward earnings multiple as a potential value trap, not a buying... — read more
AI Slop
Why does Target think dumping millions into AI at a time when the business is struggling with fundamental processes and retailing execution is going to help? Slop in, slop out People first, then process, THEN technology What is going on with the... — read more
CPS / Bonuses
Any idea what the end of year company performance score will look like? Most people are saying expect cr-ppy bonuses but a few have said that the money saved from the cuts will be used to retain those left behind?

Reorg/Stores
Hearing a lot of or chatter about stores realignment, DSDs getting more stores
Demand Letter?
Curious if anyone has written a demand letter to Target after being let go to demand payment/severance. Obviously don’t want to go into litigation against Target…
Years of DEI is catching up to Target
Target tech and product is cooked. If fidelky thinks he’s going to get anything out his tech team, he’s stoned out of his mind. (I spelled his name wrong - it’s not worth the time spelling it right) This is the most reactionary/pedestrian group of... — read more
How do you get promoted?
Can someone walk me through how to get promoted at HQ? I have been here 4 years and can’t seem to figure out how to move up. Do you have to have a certain kind of personality?
Buckle up Target
Unions coming to the warehouses? Mess with our pay and we will fight back. This should be interesting.
January layoff?
I had heard months ago that the cadence of layoffs would be October and then January. Anyone have insights on the January layoffs? Maybe a quieter trim? I imagine it will be smaller. I don’t think we are “winning” the holiday.
Are you looking?
Who still works at HQ and is actively looking for a new role outside of Target? Just hit the up arrow for yes and down arrow for no. Just curious on overall perception of Target right now.
Strong offer - Do I leave?
I currently have a strong job offer outside of Target (roughly a 20% raise). I work in Supply Chain in HQ. I’m having a hard time deciding if I should just stick it out through this hard period or if I should leave. It’s with a well established... — read more
Target at it again treating employees like cr-p
Distribution centers, sortation center and Woodbury distribution were told that starting Jan 1st we are required to take the new law of an unpaid 30 minutes AND they cannot work longer or make up the time. Everyone is going to lose pay that puts... — read more
Leaders are so behind
How are we still trying to figure out how to do things other companies with fewer resources figured out years ago? I hear so many L7+ leaders from stores, supply chain, digital, etc. talk about things that are already close to irrelevance. I’ve... — read more
Supply chain
What has anyone heard about supply chain field for layoffs? My site director said they are looking at getting rid of operations directors positions. There also seems to be too many operations managers positions.
The job I was laid off from is now being hired for?!?!
I was part of the layoff in October, and I noticed today my position along with a couple others laid off on my team have been posted on Target’s career page. They made some slight adjustments but it is almost exactly the job I was laid off from. Has... — read more
Hello corporate "leaders" watching your employees struggle
We know you are in here watching these threads, much like you sit and watch your minimally staffed teams struggle and break under workloads. If you have a shred of humanity in you, we are PEOPLE, not machines. While labor laws are pretty sh-t in... — read more
What would fix morale for you personally?
Morale is worst I’ve ever seen, and I’ve lived through the data breach and Target Canada. I’m trying to think through what would change my attitude and I’ve got: Replace all senior leaders with competent, caring individuals that act and speak like... — read more
It's still hard to deal with what happened
My entire team was cut after more than a decade with the company, and the way it was handled was brutal. I watched teammates vanish from slack one by one before anyone bothered to contact me. The call did not come until late in the afternoon, after... — read more
Spreading Holiday Fear!
Something I’ve found deeply unprofessional is leaders openly discussing possible layoffs and the decline of Target culture with a hint of glee. As if they perhaps enjoyed spreading bad news to encourage lower level employees to flee the sinking ship... — read more
I am getting angry
They say they are going to change, but dear God in heaven when is one iota of change for the better going to happen? This is like the worst bad relationship your parents told you about. They say they are going to communicate more… they don’t. When... — read more
