The TTS skill survey is a great way to identify what new training is needed. Finally someone is paying attention to the BTS scores about lack of training. Don't be so pessimistic.

It was no wonder that they thus questioned one another’s actual and bodily existence, and even doubted of their own. So strangely did they meet in the dim wood, that it was like the first encounter, in the world beyond the grave, of the two spirits... — read more 

It is no wonder Target does not know what experiences team members have. They spent all their time seeing if we fit the FFF profile and the assanine behavioral interview questions instead of learning what hard skills people had. Head of HR should be... — read more 

I am sure it's easy to sell the buildings, but I can't imagine it's easy to move the TTC Data Center to another location....

Have you heard the latest? told today that TNC is for sale as is FRS and that those at those locations have a couple of choices - we are taking up too much space and it's not cost efficient to have floors upon floors that are 80% empty so those at... — read more

Are we sure the Survey is not a cryptic message from the Sound of Music song "So Long, Farewell". I'm glad to go I cannot tell a lie...

Or is he really Briann?

There has been a noticeable "transformation" in our DC over the past year. It seems like the only thing that truly matters to management anymore is productivity, while everything else that use to matter is taking a backseat including safety, teamwork... — read more 

Really, a survey! How sad that TTS leaders don't know teams well enough to assess on their own the right fit or not for new organization. Look no farther than TTS leadership for failed org....as long as they stay, nothing changes for the better.

Anyone in TTS that is not an Engineer or Architect is on the chopping block. The engineering and architecture teams left....ain't gonna have fun dealing with all the crap jobs either.

I hear about TTS layoffs on this friday 17 jul. Is it true.

Anyone else watch shark week on discovery?

why canadians didn't like it ?

that is it for now.... Have a great weekend...

I've usually been a proponent of the BTS process, I've seen some significant progress made when the leadership is engaged. It is clear this year that all levels of senior leadership flat out don't give a shit. Every attempt to discuss what really... — read more 

I heard that the GTS team is moving from TNC to CC, and eventually Target will sell the campus. Has anyone heard of more moves and vacating building?

I heard a few folks are getting called back to HQ. Any inputs from folks that have gone back?

Will we ever receive clear direction for anything or will everything remain ambigious? I am so tired of not having a clue what is going on with Target. Do they want their team members to get fed up and quit is that the strategy now? It seems that... — read more 

I was part of the Canada cut, and really do want to go back. No luck getting back in as a FT team member, now considering working as a contractor - basically securing a oositing wit a manger first, then goung to a staffing company to process my W2... — read more 

Anyone know the surgical trimming severance package details?

EVP and chief human resources officer, Jodeen A. Kozlak, dumped 49,889 shares (63.35% of her stake) for $4,140,787, through one transaction dated July 1. After this sale, Ms. Kozlak’s stake comprises of 28,859 shares, valued at $2,393,277, as of... — read more 

A couple of Senior TTS leaders who were brought in with The Home Depot crowd last year with "Bob" are gone. I suppose that's not unexpected with the new CIO. However, this roller coast TTS has been riding for a year & a half is hurting Target.

An earlier post claimed that Grocery would be the next business to be sold. Target should begin downsizing the size of the stores vs selling off the crap inside. Physically, grocery and P-fresh are serious square footage on an already underperforming... — read more 

Corporate America practices hypergamy like dating in America. It's always looking for: Cheaper. Faster. Younger. Everyone's looking to "trades" up. In general, a majority of men likes young nubile women and the majority of women chase 14% of men, 6... — read more 

I've recently heard a rumor that the reason Target brought on Brian as CEO was to put them in a position to sell to a private equity firm. The selling off of these various businesses to drive up the stock price is to make this a more attractive and... — read more 

So it's been 3 weeks since Jodee sent her email about the lousy best team survey results (plus she threw up for a week after seeing them and reading the comments, probably 2 bottles of wine needed ). So 4 weeks later and not a word from any... — read more

As someone who got out earlier this year. Wondering why more have not left

Its coming to merch..volunteers this time

Can any one tell me when will we get to know this change which every leader has been talking about? What exactly is this change and transformation? By when will it happen? Any ETA? I know all leaders come to this site (for fear of their jobs), can... — read more 

I have been chopped off this june and can very well say that KMG played a lot of role in this lay off. BI engineering + EBI is left with some brainless leader. I have reported to a senior manager whom I think he was no good in anything that I do. I... — read more 

In some ways I hate saying this but, seriously, does it seem backwards to have an entire Community Relations pyramid (or whatever it's called these days) that gives $$ away when the company is slashing jobs in an effort to save $$? Or is that just... — read more 

And that was in his first day introductory email to TTS team members!!! What is he going to slash, and how quickly? We've already been told 30 percent reduction in expense for 2015 - what areas are gonna get destroyed by Macnamara, Bain and Cornell?
