Can anyone provide some inputs on working part-time...
...I am thinking working 6 - 8 months in a year and taking the rest of the time off (vacation). Do you know whether companies would still cover health benefits/401K etc.? I don't care if they only pay me for those 6-8 months but I would like to know... — read more
Be glad you're gone.

My 2 cents on outsourcing oversea and temp workers.
Several years ago, we had to send out a company's wide email to all temporary employees requesting some of the temps workers from using the word "axe" versus "ask." Also, recently, some oversea TMs were misusing "weather" for the word, "whether." A... — read more

Control happens in numbers!! Tell Brian and his henchmen that your done. Employees band together and stand up and walk out. What are they going to do layoff all of you. It would be historic!!!!

REMINDER #4: Laid off doesn't = cut off
Regardless of which side of the recent lay offs you find yourself, being laid off doesn't mean that you are cut off from your former friends, partners, peers, or partners. With the advent of social media and sites like LinkedIn, keep in touch with... — read more

Corporate Culture at Tgt?
Tgt vs other companies--I work at Tgt & do notice the importance placed on networking (GTKYs), being perceived as positive/team player, making boss look/feel good, image (grooming, presentation) & interested in input from those who worked elsewhere... — read more
Target = North Korea
trust me, I have reasons. Dear Leader phenomenon. You are expected to always agree with your dear leader, maybe marginally less during BTS. But always, otherwise. Dear leaders are forever quoted and praised by all other lower leaders. "Canada is a... — read more
The whole admin team being in limbo is not cool. I wished they would just get on with it already.
Why read a script to us and then make us wait indefinitely? Not cool
Who are your real friends at Target?
A lot of women didn't buy the FFF, either, like me (the original poster). I wanted to work, not go outside and play horseshoes as a "team building" activity. I wasn't a crabass about it, I had fun (hey, it was summer and they were paying me), but I... — read more
Discrimination of Men
In some areas of Target it was the men (Accounts Payable) that were in the extreme minority and were discriminated against. Many men could not get into the FF&F silliness and so were disadvantaged to be promoted or even keep their jobs. And the Happy... — read more
Target Minimum Wage Increase
Long overdue. I knew many employees working for minimum wage trying to support a family or pay for schooling. As a manager, it sickened me to see all the hardworking people make 5X less than I did just because I was more extroverted and had a degree... — read more

Anyone considering reapplying to Target?

Admin Layoffs Tomorrow
I hear rumors about this, is it possible that they will cut again?
Layoffs Tuesday, March 24?
Any one else hearing rumors about layoffs for tomorrow, 3/24? Could it be the admin layoff?
Why I Didn't Get Cut at Target
I didn't figure out how to play the game in the right way. In a place where Team Leads are recognized for moving team members OFF their teams as quickly as possible because it was seen as "development" (WHAT?), I was in a department where those of us... — read more
