Did anyone else get laid off while on maternity leave? Do you know how it’s impacted? HR was no help in getting clarity before I lost access to my email, etc. on Tuesday. I’ve only been on leave for 3 weeks, so not sure if there are legal... — read more
Voluntary Layoffs an option?
I don’t think that this is the end of the layoffs and I don’t want to stick around and be exploited by taking on the workload of the people who were laid off while having to fake being grateful about it. I want to know if it’s feasible to ask HR if... — read more
Planning to give my notice
I can’t live in fear till January and work like a dog every day. Sick and tired of training TII knowing that they will take my job. We can’t f*cking accelerate if half my team including some high performers are laid off (probably because they were... — read more
Business is Business
First, I am sad to hear about the extensive layoffs at Target. After reading these posts it seems like half your company walks around with rainbow mohawks. If you would just concentrate on selling what people want in a clean store you should be able... — read more
Target Does Not Care
Your leader knew and did not tell you sooner. The person who shook your hand and smiled at you in the elevator knew and didnt tell you sooner. The Meetings you were not invited to was not coincidence but deliberate. The Conference you went to... — read more
Remote
When they asked remote employees to move back were you offered moving assistance and what did that look like? Survived yesterday but still anxious about a RTO mandate
Bullseye of Iron
Beneath the glossy aesthetics of Minneapolis HQ lay an unspoken code: all loyalty was transient; promotions a promise easily retracted. Only the strongest, most adaptable team members remained, standing in solemn salute at the corporate... — read more
Mike Fiddelke not the best option
I don't think that man is going to turn around Target. "I just watched 5 with Fiddelke: A Target Conversation" And it pi---s me off. I thought Cephas or Ashley Petzold ( She left Target in 2024) would be a good options for CEO. But No. Please keep... — read more
Dedicated to everyone who was laid off
hope this song helps a little: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mj1dd0Kcq8A
Summary: Target October 2025 Layoff
Here is what I captured in our threads over last two days, I hope this helps somebody: ===== A. Technology, Engineering, and Cybersecurity ===== "They are laying off tons of Cyber Security employees at the moment." (@c6+1k8nb9xqa) "TES is... — read more
TGT down 3% today
Thought layoffs were supposed to be good for the share price. Guess we did it all for nothing 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
No mail regarding benefits lately
Anyone else noticing this and is it normal for this time of year? I've received something biweekly for months, except lately. I'm wondering if this means anything.
We've been dethroned today
The layoff leaders today are Paramount Pictures & CBS - a big carnage over there with 2k laid off, they are much smaller than us: https://www.thelayoff.com/t/1k8s207c8 Linked: @OP+1k8s207c8

What was the severance?
Curious if it’s the standard 6 weeks + 1 week per year of service or something more generous due to the sheer scale of this round?
Are you thinking of leaving?
Anyone here thinking about leaving if you survived yesterday? Would it be wise to keep eyes open for new opportunities?
TGT 60 days vs AMZN 90 days
I heard they got 90 days and will be paid until 1/26. I feel like we got sc--wed. I bet their severance packages were more generous as well. Let’s stop acting like these leaders and TGT actuallly cares. Amazon is supposed to be more brutal and not... — read more
Why are Glassdoor reviews so fake?
Honestly, it's so fake but whatever.
Some teams lost half of their people
How exactly are they supposed to continue functioning?
Apparently the Rick Gomez rumor was false
someone posted the other day that rick gomez was part of the cuts. Vendor community just recieved an email from him about Moving forward at Target
Layoff Viewpoint
As someone that is impacted, Layoffs are a result of a failure of management to achieve their designed business plan/goals. Mine had more to do with my compensation than performance. Going forward I will understand the business plan and strategy... — read more
Definitely not performance based
We lost a couple of great teammates. Neither makes any sense if they were going based on performance, so I guess for once the leadership didn't lie. This was all about numbers.
Disgusting
“Today is a moment to move forward” “Lean on one another for support” “Let’s move forward” “as we step ahead together” “remove complexity” “Thank you for all you will bring to Target’s next chapter” “remove barriers” “move forward with... — read more
Why haven’t we heard from Brian
He’s still our CEO, is he not? If he’s not still acting as CEO until February then what are we paying him for?
Why didn’t the diversity team face layoffs?
They were the driving force who made such a mess of target. How is this group helping us generate more revenue? Do minorities even care? Why are white women leading this group?
Life insurance after Jan 3
Can the laid off employee “convert”/ buy the same coverage directly from insurance company that Target was using? Has anyone done this in previous layoffs? The advantage would be no medical test or other hassles and a plan that should be reasonable
Has anyone been asked to sign away rights to get severance?
Newer people to the corporate world might not know this, but often times a company will ask you to sign a document to get any sort of severance that releases the company from any liability, blah blah blah. Has anyone laid off been asked to do... — read more
I'm conflicted on how to react
I have some partners asking to cancel meetings this week given today's new while some are actively asking for deliverables. I don't know how to react. While I would love to cancel meetings I'm worried what the other partners asking for deliverables... — read more
very sad to see research and development teams eliminated
it always seems like the first thing to go in a mass layoff like this.
Fiddelke is the visionary to take TGT to $400B market cap
Michael is the visionary we need to take TGT to the next level 10x. Trust that I put all my eggs in him taking Target to the next level of our growth. If you don’t think this please resign now as mediocrity is not acceptable.
They laid us off and now
They firing us !!!!!
Target Levels (Tech)
Is this accurate for Tech? Also, what about other groups? TLP: Associate Engineer L4: Software Engineer L5: Senior Software Engineer L6: Lead Engineer L7: Principal Engineer L8: Distinguished Engineer
Pension
For those of us who worked at Target long enough to have a pension account, how is that handled? How do we access those funds?
Stop posting in #yelling
Some of y’all are really playing with fire. Sometimes silence is golden, quite a few people have posted themselves out of a job today, don’t become one of them.
Know someone who has a Cricut?
I made a shirt that says “Target Laid My Husband Off” and a bandanna that says “Target Laid My Dad Off” for my dog (we don’t have kids). Maybe you could do the same? It’s despicable that so many people are facing hardship as a result of poor... — read more
How will layoffs affect annual bonuses
Will the layoffs have any affect for the annual bonuses the rest of us still in the company get next year?
To the affected: Good luck and take care of yourself!
I was cut back in 2015, I've seen posts on LinkedIn and it did triger a bit of PTSD. I am so sorry you have to go through this again but... life after Target has been a breath of fresh air for me. Ended up in a small company where I feel wanted... — read more
Age Discrimination?
I am not acusing target of Age Discrimination but want to see what other folks think about this. Based on what we know so far, do you think that age played any role in the layoff selection process? My group was completely spared but being 59 this is... — read more
What happens next?
This is my first time witnessing a layoff. I recently graduated college and just joined the job market lol. I was lucky and got to keep my job but I’m having a very hard time getting back to work and “prepping for peak”. Do we really just have to go... — read more
