I worked at the CSC as a contractor, hoping for a permanent position. A number of us are being let go as well. My group and the group before us are getting slimmed down.. We were told just a couple weeks ago our positions were safe from the cuts as... — read more 

My director, who was spot-on through our last round of lay-off's, has advised me pretty much what is being reported here. He said first week of June and that it will be about as painful as last time. What a leader Brian is. Cut, cut, cut. He has done... — read more 

Any updates on June 2nd layoffs?

Wow really?

Hi, I'm curious if anyone has heard of any layoffs coming for the DC's? Barely any of the lay offs so far have hit the DC's which tells me maybe we're next. There seems to be a weird vibe around there lately.

Rumor - Layoffs impacting BI teams in month of June - Anyone hear the same rumors ? most contractors are gone - now rumors 50% of entire BI impacted...

So, while Target is trying to cut down on Inpat expense, even if there's an urgent requirement on a team in Minneapolis with funding provided, the Target India leadership is refusing all assignments/extensions. This is such a sneaky strategy to get... — read more 

Brian must be a genious, what great results.

If you are laid off and get severance, does anyone know how it is paid out and do you have a choice in the matter? Is it one lump sum or bi-weekly?

Don't expect magic. I will probably slice and dice the organization in a way the people who's "got what it takes" will feel energized and engaged for the long run, and the people who think the workplace is a country club will leave on their own... — read more 

Relax folks. I will be there soon. Me and my team built systems using which TESCO cooked financial books. We will do some other strategic, LRP, Agile strategic initiatives to take Target to next level.

Most of us (TTS) had their promotions delayed when they didn't happen at annual review time. Now all of a sudden some (but not all) people are getting promoted. Mostly engineers are getting promos when other job families are getting the shaft. Is... — read more 

It happens only at Target - layoffs and promos taking place simultaneously! Lower level jobs shelved off and in position promos for KMG+ leaders ....

Next round of layoffs are around the corner. This time KMG & DMG inputs are also taken. My director told me that this will be more brutal than last layoff. Keep eyes and ears open friends

Serious question. If Target outsources the food service, computer installs/maintenance, and now TCI is gone . . . . why would they keep hundreds of people on the payroll in the printing & shipping business?

Check out the insider stock trades of the C-suite the last few months if you want to know how they feel about transformation.

Does anyone know the rules around giving 2 weeks notice? Is it required, or just a courtesy? I am looking at leaving Target, but I also know my area is going to be re-orged in the very near future, and I really want to get the layoff and severance... — read more 

What in the world???!! It has become a circus in my pyramid!!! The leadership all of the sudden are having a hard time helping to prioritize! The teams still think I'm responsible in the same manner as in the old support structure. I literally cannot... — read more 

Anyone else noticed that Brian has been completely missing from corporate communication to team since his disastrous lecture about the layoffs. Is he that thin skinned?

My workload was unmanageable before, I barely had time for lunch. Now, it's unmanageable. Stupid executive team.

how has store planning lasted so long with so little impact from the layoffs? They should have been gutted with architecture and engineering back in October. This group was able to bring in three contractors on the same day we lost 1700 people... — read more 

It's pretty clear that in general the TTS > TGT community is a little disgruntled and clearly paranoid as hell with all the comments here. I guess the good news is that there's not much noise outside of TTS here, the bad news is just how snarky and... — read more 

What a joke, about a year 1/2 ago they axed an entire TTS team right before peak season. The theory was why do we need a team to support a SaS app. Today I see they are recruiting to build that exact team back up. GREAT LEADERSHIP! What a joke. The... — read more 

Can anyone provide any information on our non compete if we still currently work for Target. I have an opportunity to work for a vendor, but I'm not sure about the non compete or if I should contact HR. Thanks!

Even though BTS survey takes place every year and has lot of questions, I still see STAs and Managers from COEs who never come to office in Bangalore and stays at home taking care of personal work and attend only meetings with management. Few of them... — read more 

They changed all the questions to give leadership cover from all their screw ups. Just say you are so excited about the future and you'll be promoted in no time.

I cannot even bring myself to walk into a store to use them now, I get physically nauseous. It's to the point where my wife and I ended upvgiving them back.

TTS'ers, brace yourselves, McNamara will completely overhaul the organization top to bottom. The Bob Derodes data security band-aid last six or seven months and it's gone now - what's left is the same old, soul-crushingly terrible division that... — read more

Brace yourselves Brian and the Shareholders Aren't done laying people off just yet. You have two years of on going cuts, the next big one coming in July.

Good Afternoon Everybody. I currently work in a department that has merged with another one. The other department on average earns a much larger amount that the one I work in. Will the gap in wages be adjusted at all for situations like this?

Target will be relocating its headquarters to California due to the Minnesota tax structure. Has anyone else heard that same rumor?

Hello--I'm an EA who left 'the family' in 2012. A recruiter reached out to me regarding an opening for an EA. Her description was: "a super-star EA to support a very kind, awesome CEO and a CIO at a financial services firm in the West Metro. I’m... — read more
