List of Target Stores Closing (Nov 2017)
Keep in mind that we did open 30+ stores, so closing a few is not the end of the world. Some will predict doom and gloom but things are not that dire. Baltimore West Benton Harbor, Michigan Eastland in Harper Woods, Michigan Fergus Falls, Minn... — read more
Couseling out many employees
Target isn't going to do an official layoff. They are managing out many employees now to be able to hire college grads. Unless you're on the list, and you'd probably know by now, don't worry about it.
Anyone here notice how target is horrible for women?
I keep getting told by my boss I'm not nice, and we have a culture of nice. If I ask if I've hurt anyone or done something wrong, I get told it is not about doing, it's about the personality, that I'm aggressive and go getter and it offends others... — read more
Reminder that Target is notorious for discriminating on the basis of age and even lost a suit once for it.

There is hope on the horizon
Target has two groups of people one is hardworking & highly technical and another is a highly political managers & directors. The political group survive because of their highly advanced manipulative techniques. They are experts in managing... — read more
Target Layoffs 2018
There is some anxiety about possible job cuts in Minneapolis.
Let's win by pretending Amazon doesn't exist
Yet more passive wait and see business strategy.... what is so hard about taking an industry lead? Bob Ulrich must be livid at how bad this company is being run. The current CEO should just admit the C level has no original ideas.
Brilliant. Another example of digital debacle. Sh--ty digital team cannot put out a visual search tool when AR was getting experimented a few years ago. Now you have ANOTHER MIDDLEMAN between you and the consumer. I thought this digital leadership is... — read more
Minimum wage increases
Former Target worker here - this isn't really big news. I started at $7.50 an hour back in 2011 and when I left last year the company minimum was $10. They effectively raised the company minimum every year. However, every time I got a company raise... — read more
100,000 to be hired by Target (SEASONAL ONLY)
Yeah, it's seasonal, but from the demand planning side this looks very promising... http://www.chicagotribune.com/business/ct-target-holiday-jobs-illinois-20170913-story.html
HOUDINI
Are they taking away FMLA in California or any other states at Target?Will the houdini shows finally end.Maybe 13 reasons they want to get rid of it who knows.
TGT can't stop killing itself
Get ready for more layoffs at HQ! Announced lowering of everyday prices can't be good news for HQ employees...that cost has to be born somewhere, stores won't get cut.
Target Board of Directors has to go for any meaningful change!
They selected BC and have continued to support every poor business decision that clown has made. After almost 3 years of "transformation" we should be in a place to compete with amazon. Where are we instead? Putting a fresh coat of paint on stores... — read more
Stop the clutter
Make Target easier to navigate for employees and guests. All of these obstacles in the center aisles make the shopping process more like an annoying traffic jam. I will shop online if I have to in order to get my purchases quickly. Who enjoys... — read more
Ah, the irony
When I was in grad school The then Vice Chairman of Target gave a speech about "Bricks and Clicks." He explained how Amazon was this small little tech company was going to take Target's Catalog business online to create an "Online Catalog" of certain... — read more
Wait.......WHAT (wtf) Tgt cuts ties with AWS
Are you kidding me. TGT still has ties with Amazon Web Services that need to be cut. How many people at Target have been laid off or minimized by Amazon's dominance and we still have a relationship that needs to be severed. God help us, we have... — read more
Yale Equipment pyramid wide?
Is yale equipment plaguing other DC's the way it is mine? Me and most of us at my DC hate them, yet despite our protests they continue to come in replacing crown. Our DC has heard rumors of others getting rid of yale and obtaining crown again... — read more
Corrective Action
Seems that the Corrective Action rules are different for many. Has anyone survived being put on "Corrective Action" (pack your bag notice)? What is the process? Survived? I hear there is a a new round happening in TTS. Worried that I could be next, I... — read more
Target Vacation Payout - Layoffs
If I am laid off, hypothetically speaking, how will the vacation payout be handled by Target. Are there rules outlining what happens here? Also, are there differences between states (e.g. California may be different if compared to Minnesota or... — read more
Us brilliant folks
Sorry to all you losers let go by Target in last couple years but apparently you were the problem after all. Just look at today's earnings results. Only us brilliant people are left and it shows.
Microchips
I'm not sure if you've heard that a company in Wisconsin just had their employees get microchips implanted in themselves. This has me very furious. I'm not sure if Target would ever go this route but it wouldn't surprise me at all especially with all... — read more
Disturbing trend
Yes it is true, there is a list! Managers are being coached weekly to complete the process. Many of the "managed out" employees have been "TARGETED" due to age and years of service; however it is being balanced out with a few token younger team... — read more
Reverse discrimination
TTS's blatant push for gender diversification will make my case for reverse discrimination a no brainer. I see myself on a beach paid for by MM himself. Thank you so much Target!
Good info for those who think they are being managed out
Here's a nice to know loophole: If you are 55+ and have been with TGT for 10 or more years, you can retire! That means you get paid for all your accrued vacation and still get the 10% bonus. Plus they will give you a $50 Target gift card and say... — read more
My two cents
I've been with Target for nearly 30 years, what we are seeing now in terms of leadership changes and "managing out" reminds me a lot of how Target used to be in the 90's and early 2000's. Then the push was insane growth and it happened fast and... — read more
Target Corp Layoffs 2017
Any updates here? I hear layoffs are happening - I was let go in 2015. All the best.
Managing Out
Target is currently undergoing a thinning out of staff by "managing out" many team members. People with good annual reviews (or if the "managing out" period started before review time horrible but unrealistic reviews) suddenly under fire. Made up... — read more
"Basket Case"
Target since BC and MM has created nothing but cconstant stress in my life. So much needless failure by Target .
An outsider's take
I am a completely outside Target but occasionally enjoy reading the comments made on this website. In fact, I would have to drive about 25 miles to shop at one. Until now I have never commented here and I probably never will again. I truly feel sorry... — read more
The Quiet Exit
A couple (at least 2) "very important" six fig Managers from Marketing were given two months to find new jobs in May. Neither one did - I guess sitting around managing 1 person and getting paid for working 5 hours a day doesn't impress everywhere... — read more
Target leaders (especially TTS) take note
This headline for Inc. Article Aetna Lost $1 Billion Last Quarter By Forbidding Employees to Work from Home The insurance giant learns the hard way that forced collaboration doesn't create innovation.
Why did Target stop selling stock to employees?
Anyone knows? reasons is it possible it'll be back are other companies doing it
Layoffs continue at MetricStream
Another 500 on the way out. Starting today.
What happened to "work smarter not harder"
When the DC started talking about Target finally removing their heads from their asses and trying to catch up with the likes of Amazon, they talked about all the changes in the future. They said TGT needs to find a way to get the product from the... — read more

Amazon
Target’s Been Talking Food for a Decade. Now Amazon Could Eat Bullseye’s Lunch
Target Ticket is being revived to take on Netflix
Heard a rumor that Target Ticket is being brought back to take on Netflix and Amazon Prime Video in the streaming space
Strategic alternatives
The board needs to explore some "strategic alternatives" quickly, while there is still some value left of Target. Otherwise we're all at risk of layoff.
Amazon to acquire Whole Foods
Hope Target has its A-game ready because Amazon + Whole Foods could put a pretty big damper on Target's already hurting foot traffic. http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20170616005338/en/Amazon-Acquire-Foods-Market
