Topics regarding layoffs at Target Corp.

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.

Let everyone know your thoughts on the new "level" you end up at and any info on bonus structure you were provided.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.
