put in your 2 weeks tomorrow or shut up I'm tired of all the complaining about how this, that or something else about working at Target is, was, or will be screwed up. If you don't like working for Target now or think it's about to explode/implode... — read more
Cannot believe the next of cuts today. Again I see some outstanding team members that have lost their job
Okay I see good friends that got promoted and lost their jobs today because of a job grade. WTF. I see plenty of grade 15 that still remain and not contribute to the overall cause of drinking the cool aide. Why do we not recognize people who execute... — read more

Target HQ vs. Target India
Nobody on this site who works at Target HQ has any clue if or when Target India will be impacted again. So please stop asking.
Walking the Green Mile
"I know you hurtin' and worryin', I can feel it on you, but you oughta quit on it now. Because I want it over and done. I do. I'm tired, boss. Tired of bein' on the road, lonely as a sparrow in the rain. Tired of not ever having me a buddy to be... — read more
Low flame cooking

2015 End state of Target HQ
By December 2015, the Target HQ will consist of: BC and the board, all the EVP's, SVP's and VP's and cash-milking suits that BC can add from his friends list, a Stores Team of 10 people replying to store emails, three interns cranking Excel reports... — read more
Layoffs vs Transformation
Uhhhh nice try Brian at The Q.... You can try to pretend the two are different... But let's be real: your only method of transformation is via layoffs. You have no idea what to do next.
It's On-
Lots of people in MPSD being let go today. Meetings in progress.
Just heard...
Just got out of a meeting. Apparently Brians's plan is to replace all FTE with pieces of fruit. Apples, oranges, bananas... I know, weird but true. I can't make this stuff up.
Breaking: Target to exit retail bussiness

Target bank, Target commercial interiors and now Target Pharmacy are sold. What next? Target.com or stores or IT support offices or DCs or FCs?
How to become effective exempt from layoffs
Hi guys, I heard if I place kewl stickers on the back of my laptop I'll be immune to layoffs. Is that true? What's the minimum required number of stickers?
I'm the worst HR Leader there is...
I love being able to spout off all of this stuff about how broken the HR model USED TO BE under the "old regime," and how glad I am to be able to swoop in and right the ship.
I missed th Q today; did anyone take notes?
For those of us who were chained to our desks, or chain-smoking on 6th Street, can you help out with a summary of what was said? Any hints given as to when the next division/company/group will be jettisoned from the portfolio?
Is it just me or does CoE make you want to vomit?
It's that kind of arrogance that got Target into the spot it's in! It's almost as ridiculous as the fact that Target has its own gift shop...
Paychecks
Is anyone able to view checks online today?
Local media alert - minneapolis

Next Layoff targeting TTS (I&S, ITSM, Security, what not) tomorrow
Heard, that next layoff is tomorrow (or very soon) for TTS. Waiting for that to walk away with some bucks!!!
Bye bye RedRx and the friendly staff at all pharmacies! You are victims of complacency and arrogance at the top.
Selling to CVS makes sense. Complacency ate this healthcare business and nobody every learned how to run it. I worked in the infamous RedRock project and I am now laughing at this because I foresaw it. Millions and millions literally wasted on... — read more
Tgt sells Rx biz....expect some layoffs.
What will Target do with all those teams supporting Healthcare business now that CVS bought it? One thing is for sure, C suite and shareholders will get theirs.
People have said Tuesday June 16th may bring more TGT lay-offs - Oh, Magic Eight Ball, what do you see?
Is this mere rumor-mongering or is there something to base the rumor on?
Tifton - Unionize now
Tifton you need to Unionize now. It is only going to get worse. That $500 junk is just the tip of the ice berg.
I do not understand tifton
A layed off gl can return after 3 months but a layed off team member can not return until after 6 months. Why is this? Also, why is there new GLS every week? Is senior managers so bad they can't keep the GLS from quitting? The gl turn over rate is... — read more

Remaining friends in Target India,
