I hope so. Tanked Pharmacy. Tanking Digital. After all this, they've got nothing other than a website. Nothing new comes out of this group whereas something new keeps coming up @WalMart and @Amazon every week. Get her out & her clown DMGs and start... — read more
Merch Demotions
Is it true that Merch had demotion and that some folks were pushed into lower titles and pay grades?
NK left or told to leave?
And what about the "cheering leaders" he groomed...

Blood bath again?
Lot of leaders leaving or asked to leave.... Does this mean that layoffs again in coming months????
Hey BC, how about you stop trying to play politics?? Target takes a hit everytime you interject yourself in national conversations.
On an unrelated note, this clueless f--- visited my facility recently. You think he talked to any of the workers about what needs to change, NOPE. Just walked around with his group of yes men.
Target selling mattresses = Sears
Seriously? Target wanted to BUY a mattress company? WTF. Now they will sell mattresses? Smells like Sears
Target should consider early retirement incentive offers.
Great way to cut costs and eliminate some dead wood. Really.
BTS - leaders really don't care
TTS leadership actually thinks they've taken action to solve last year's BTS. My work and workspace still s---. Target has no winning strategy. TTS is getting nothing of importance done. I hope the government still has funds to support 65% of my... — read more
Lakshmi Sharma leaves!!!
Was she too much for her DRs? Did she leave or was told to go?
Target Restock
When is upper management going to read people's comments in news articles. The biggest them is people complaining about Target out of stocks in the store. So the new Restock initiative simply means...we don't have it in the store, so don't expect to... — read more
Situation at Corporate
It is a pretty rough atmosphere. I think most people at HQ (myself included) would agree that there are inefficiencies, and given current decision making structures, things can't get done that quickly. The "constant" get to know yous and coffees are... — read more
TGT Pension
WTF is the Pension Plan? It says I'll get 29 a month when I retire. Is it possible to take the money lump sum now?
Management needs people skills training
It takes a special kind of person to stare at a computer all day long tracking productivity of people who are actually working and then belittle and criticize the whole team first thing every single day. Geez, I wonder why nobody cares anymore... — read more
Is it too much to ask for to be treated like a human being?
It's to the point in the DC that I'm afraid to Go to the bathroom for 5 minutes because my OM will harass me about it later in the day asking me why I have a 5 minute gap with no transactions. This is getting out of control ridiculous.
BC just shrunk another 6 inches.
Amazon once again drives BC into the turf. They blew it up, while BC hopes Target doesn't shrink much more. Good luck to everyone holding out hope at Target. Sad.
it's designed to get you to quit
Here's some hard (but free) advice from somebody who has been there and I hope you follow it: Look. What's happening to you is you're being managed out. It happened to me, it (might) be happening to you, and it's happened to countless other people at... — read more
NK Exit from TI
Finally the day has come, NK is quitting TI.
Whew, Progress at last
I see MM has promoted real men into leadership positions. First step for Target to establish itself as a leader
When is the board going to get it?
It is time for BC to go. He has done the job that he was overly compensated for. He has completed the task that he is known in the industry for. He is not known to bring a company back from the grave. It is funny to me when they say they got rid of... — read more
EDABI reorg? Layoffs?
Heard from multiple people that there's some sort of reorg coming to EDABI soon. Anyone know details? Are people losing their jobs?
Stock Freeze
I'm off on Medical. Just got emailed. Target Froze own stock. Are they bankrupt or selling Company? Any word out there?
HR
Anyone on here from HR? My boss tanked me on my review even though I have proof that projects I lead got great results. I'm not an a-- kisser and it seems that's being used against me. Others on my team who worked on the same projects got 5% + bonus... — read more
I wish I worked at Amazon!
Any chance for volunary layoff and package BC? I really don't want to work for the next Sears, sigh :-(
If Target didn't have negatI've news right now, it would have no news!
BC is incapable of driving a positive story for Target, get rid of him and team to create some potential for positive buzz.
Pre filling BTS results - everyone in Leadership is great (s---s)!
Since no matter how people actually respond on BTS, Target leadership will always spin as - things are great and everyone is engaged. Save me the hassel of filling it out, giving suggestions for how things can be improved and meaningless updates on... — read more
Why it's BS when we talk about online sales?
https://www.bloomberg.com/gadfly/articles/2017-03-24/target-store-plans-spook-long-term-believers?cmpid=yhoo.headline&yptr=yahoo This euphoria and BS attention given to the online group is a joke. These TTS guys led us to this disaster.
Fckn Slave drivers at the Distribution Centers
Target management doesn't care about their employees like they say they do. Theh preach about how all the changes and new policies are to better help understand Target vision for the future. At the end of the blah blah blah they mention how... — read more
Ode to Brian C
In this story, Brian C is the turkey: A turkey was chatting with a bull. ‘I would love to be able to get to the top of that tree’ sighed the turkey, ‘but I haven’t got the energy.’ ‘Well, why don’t you nibble on some of my droppings?’ replied the... — read more
Performance review scores?
How are they shaping this year? note score + % bump + bonus
When are the diversity police,st Target going to go away?
I have to walk into work everyday to a display in foyer that suggests I'm privileged in some manner and should be ashamed of myself. Whoever put that up should work for a non profit somewhere.
When is the big day?
It's been over a year since the last big layoff and HR put a hold on layoffs during 2016. Now that the fiscal year is done and the stock is in the toilet, something has to happen. They already axed goldfish and store of the future and there's already... — read more
Target stock just hit a 5 year low
Can we clean house in management yet?
Can I just say about Target's new Purpose Statement....
Your purpose is to increase revenue and profits. However that occurs, whoever you upset, etc.....I DO NOT CARE!! Just make business results happen. I do not care about people's feelings, that is what families are for.
Thank your management for this one.

Target strategy 2017? 2015 still posted where I work.
Can't wait to hear what BC and Sr. Leadership chatted about for last couple days during "Now and Next" sessions. If this reflects on anything. My floor at HQ and the TTS website both still have 2015 strategy plans posted and nothing about 2016. Maybe... — read more

Short Term Gains by Brian Cornell
As a former employee, I said everything BC and team were doing in 2014 was just for short term gains to increase investor confidence....and that Target will pay the price in the long term. I guess it didn't take long.
