Target CEO: stock price, stock price, stock price; also passionately respects wall st. at the price of the company he is in charge of.
I want to work for someone like Howard Schultz
That is all.
Target Executive leadership has lost its mind.
The whole process was rediculous. Without merit; Group managers become Directors, Directors become Sr. Directors, Sr. _individual contributors become lead individual contributors, nothing individual contributors become Sr. ___ individual... — read more
All Team Leads in my dept are now managers. This after the worst holiday season performance!
Last year they eliminated these manager/Sr manager positions and now they got them back. Some of the team leads who got new desig letters were so confused :) Even they knew they totally dont deserve these new positions. Happens only in TGT! Everyone... — read more
My agile team sucks.
I might very well be on the absolute worst product scrum team ever to exist.

"Target Teams Up With Techstars To Create A Retail-Focused Startup Accelerator" Seriously?
http://techcrunch.com/2015/10/18/target-retail-accelerator/ Why would a tech startup want advice from Target executives? Even if Target had all their ducks in a row when it comes to technology (they sure as hell don't, but play along), why would... — read more

Why Target is losing the retail wars
http://www.investopedia.com/articles/investing/032216/shortsighted-retailers-why-target-losing-retail-wars-tgt.asp some pretty good, valid points
Hmmm, is being American a culture...or does America have multiple cultures.
Why don't people want to be " American" and that be a culture.
How did your review go HQ?
Let everyone know your thoughts on the new "level" you end up at and any info on bonus structure you were provided.
End Employee Abuse
The "Wonderful World of Disney" abused it's employees by eliminating the current US employees and replacing them with foreigners - violating the laws of the US in the process. This MUST end. Target abuses its employees when they hire "new" employees... — read more
One year later
Since the big layoffs, do you think Target as a whole is in a better place, the same, or worse?
Bonuses for all exempt TMs
Well SL just announced Target will now offer bonuses for all exempt employees. That's a nice surprise for the team members. I was excepting bonuses to be cut all together.
Test for Target HR and Leadership team is next few weeks.
So they layed off the supposed dead wood last year and kept the team they wanted. Reviews start being delivered over the next 2 weeks in HQ. The new "levels" kick in, bonus eligible guidelines updated, and leaders get the chance to let team know they... — read more
Does JM actually do anything other than hire EVPs and SVPs?
Since he got promoted to COO all he does is hire more VPS to do the work he was promoted to solve. Dump him and keep the VPs he brought in. That'll save some serious cash. Maybe us smucks could get more than a 1% increase.

Target financials
Target Reports Fourth Quarter and Full-Year 2015 Earnings http://investors.target.com/phoenix.zhtml?c=65828&p=irol-newsArticle&ID=2142619 Looks target is meeting the Target. It is back on track post the fiasco in 2013.
Layoffs??
When are the layoffs and what areas?
Calling all keyboard commandos:
What you say? TGT lifer here who works my A$$ off. Can't tell you how pleased I am to see you FLAMING TROLLS get everything wrong. Suck it up and fix TTS systems and supply chain so we can get instocks right and we might all actually really be able... — read more
DC Mid Shift Cuts??
Does any one know if there will be cuts at the dc's with mid shift managers? The building stopped hiring to backfill open positions.
Ankur promoted as director?
Did I hear it right that Ankur got promoted as director? seriously? ROFL. He was about to be thrown out for non ethical stuff last time including f!@#$ around with married female TM, conspiracy against our BI director those days and forcing his team... — read more
New titles coming next week - could be a brutal for many
Instead of a mass layoff this year, Target is changing titles and paygrades. This will seem like a demotion for many and lots will leave on their own. So need to lay off employees and give them severance. Bain FTW!
Does anybody Agile have any actual substantive gossip Agile to share about Target Agile, or is it all Agile vague butthurt now? Agile.
Agile Some of us left there ages ago Agile and just want, you know..news Agile about how things are going. Agile. For reals. Agile.
Karma?
What happened to head of HR?
Seriously, are we in grade school in TTS?
If my review score is going to be based on the number of stickers on my laptop I'm screwed. Can we please grow up and be adults here. The people running devops must have felt inadequate in some way growing up and are now compensating for it.
hey stores TMs, target recognized as top 10 retailer for using stores as innovation lab
https://lnkd.in/eA2ncpm I am sure the devOops folks in TTS will use this as an example to leadership that everything is running perfectly in the stores! the stores are innovation labs! time to hand out some promotions!
TTS and Support teams have no idea.
Hard to believe that 6 months after TTS "transformed" ,or basically just gave people new titles and supposed teams, no one still has any idea what the F is going on.
Meeting on 2/22 at convention center.
Does anyone have details on what will be discussed?
So they actually said that -
BC says this, "Our outstanding team is one of our key competitive advantages." SL says this, "The Target team has always been the key to our success. Our team has embraced and harnessed the changes necessary to compete in the dynamically changing... — read more
JK is gone!!!
Finally. Better late than never? Or is it too late and the damage has already been done?
Anyone else heard of depts cutting 10% of headcount?
Seems that there are positions being eliminated or moving to India a few every few weeks. Have others been seeing this, too? Too small to hit the news. Those left have to absorb the additional work.
Good jobs available in Twin Cities.
After the September layoff in TTS I was pleasantly surprised at the number and quality of positions that are posted consistently in the Twin Cities. There are good opportunities for anyone who wants to work. Take an honest look at yourself and find a... — read more
