Just seen the latest round of target adverts on TV. UGH OMG... a drunk teenager could do better.

Revised question
Laid off 9/1 -- end of employment date set for 10/31. What happens to package and all, if job secured prior to 10/31?
New job secured before end of employment
Does anyone know what happens if we are lucky enough to land a job before our "end of employment" date? any impact to severance package?
Deer in the headlights
It is clear that everyone in leadership below VP/ Director level had no input into TTS transformation decisions or new organization structure. KMG are having a real problem explaining new roles and have no idea how they are going to implement Agile... — read more
BTS : Don't say a word about your leaders
I know I got F...d becuse I shared feedback honestly with HR
TTS, how is the transformation going?
There are high-hopes and expectations that between MM and some Thought Leaders (-gag-) TTS's transformation will spark meaningful change that will trickle down or radiate out and heal what ails Target's mojo as it also solves expense problems on the... — read more

U.S. Bank is doing Layoffs too
US Bank is laying off people weekly as well! Friday is always the day for US Bank. They are trying to do small numbers each week to stay out of the media. Not much of a package either. 90 days is all.

Mike proven fool
There is no strategy behind layoffs. All idiot managers still in target. Mike you cheap
Everyone pay attention......
There is going to be an ongoing battle between Leadership (and I don't mean DMG and below - they are meaningless) and the workers. The C-suite is going to push you till you fail or leave. If you feel any obligation to give more than minimum to get a... — read more
Congrats to Bullseye
Congrats Bullseye, after the transformation efforts, the care and maintenance of this ugly dog is now one of the most expensive ones in the industry. So think about that when you are signing up for unemployment benefits. A white pitbull is making way... — read more
When is the next round of TTS layoffs
We all know still there is lot of redundancy in TTS and transformation is continuous improvement process.. So, when is the next round of layoffs in TTS.... At least there should be one focussed round for KMG and above ...
Last call. You don't have to go home but you can't stay here
The layoffs have now run their course so there is no further information to be gained at this site. Thank you everyone for your participation
Best to all affected today!
The best post today had to be: "For the love of GOD give it a rest with the cheap humor. Over 200 real people were laid off today. They merit support and understanding. Others are still quite anxious, skip the I'm so cute I'm so funny BS for at least... — read more
Okay, it's time to start fulminating on something else - when's the second BTS of 2015 coming?
Mad about who was laid off today? Mad about who wasn't laid off today? Get out your one-notes and earnestly scribble away all of that pent up pissed off energy into 144 characters more or less to append to your upcoming BTS -let your red and khaki... — read more
I miss Bob!
I miss Breakfasts with Bob. I miss Bob as the Mayor of the city. I miss Bob telling us goofy stories about the revolutionary war. Where is Bob!?
Sorry to have seen some good people go.....
Can't really explain the who or whys. But for those left we can at least now focus on what our new roles and teams are going to be and move on. This foing nothing at work has been miserable.
Target's brand (as an employer) is badly damaged
Whether these thousands of layoffs are the right thing or not, what's certain is that Target is no longer an employer of choice. Only been here for 2 years, but family, friends and old coworkers used to ooo/ahh when I talked about Target. Now they... — read more

Who was really let go?
I'm a former TTSer and just wondering...I read the Strib article that stated mostly TTS Business Analyst and TTS Project Managers were let go. However, many people I've heard from who were let go are Middle Management (KMG). Any insights from anyone?
Is TI TTS has only 40 redundant positions?
As like me many were surprised by going through the message from MM and Navneet as they both called out the current reductions in TTS were part of ongoing transition and clearly stated "The changes involved reducing several layers within the... — read more

Close Target India
Very low value add anyway
Many useless managers are still in Target, and are retained. Lay off decision are based on their manager assessment, how stupid it is.
All the names that I heard were hard workers and work dedicated people... All managers who self centred, never care for their team or Target are retained.. I got to know that decisions are based on survey and inpit fron managers. Its so stupid. Even... — read more
