I wonder if the people that get to stay will be "forced" to take pay cuts in their "new" roles.

1) Flatten the org by removing Group Managers! They are worthless! 2) STOP the f***ing meetings where people just talk shit and try to show off and sound smart... have valuable meetings!!!! work meetings where people do work collaborative work! not... — read more

I am veteran at Target India. On 16th july was asked 15% of my CTC by manager for saving my position (5% now and 10% later). I tried to bring it down by bit, but he told me that is the norm across. I initially agreed as i have 2 small kids and not... — read more 

I'm a lowly Specialist....this new system is crap. They need to "downsize" the managers that wanted this.

Has decided the best thing for TTS is to let himself gland get the hell of this shrinking ship

We are going to fire a bunch of you shortly, those left are going to figure out what transformation is, and then explain it to us so we can take credit for implementing it.

I heard rumblings about store level layoffs today. ETLs and other management positions. Anything being whispered about that?

Being transparent, he has indicated transformation will occur September week one. Also indictated he does not see how this can't impact team members, meaning layoffs. He can't say that this is going to be the last of it either. Non technical folks... — read more

Seems like the only intel lately has been about TTS. Anyone know about happenings in the other departments? Merch? PD&D?

Then you won't give a sh*t what new fad leaders suck up to. Your severance will just be another bonus!!! Plenty of companies that want your skills, Target sucks!!!

Coworker was in an all-dotcom mtg yesterday. New CIO showed up and said he ran a much more complicated operation with just 500 people. Doesn't TTS have at least 2000 right now?

My work depends on the approval and funding of projects that must be supported by TTS . If TTS is cutting headcount, obviously they must be scaling back plans to support projects and initiatives of their clients. If the people in TTS who generally... — read more
