All leaders say there will be difficult actions to meet the restructuring needs of Target and will reflect on the teams . What "difficult actions" means is not clear .There are some rumors that "Managers" with less than 5 DR's will be axed ! Not sure... — read more 

Discrimination? I was one of those laid off. If any case could be made it is that they hit the older people (myself included in that august bunch) as they do in most layoffs. Guess why? Because we earn (cost them) more, will eventually cost them more... — read more 

I'm now ex-TGT. When I was hired less than 4 years ago I was excited to work in a fast, fun and friendly place. FYI - I have 25 years of experience predominantly on the East Coast, with 3 years in the Valley. I worked in TTS. My assessment? Fun -... — read more 

Most upper managers got their positions by kissing up to higher ups and back-stabbing their peers for the upper advantage. TGT's culture is sick and needs to be cured through more cuts. Layoffs suck? Heck yea, but TGT will come out stronger after all... — read more 

Joke is on us.

1.) Brian tells his leadership team we need to make cuts and get leaner to compete 2.) EVPs and SVPs can't make a decision fast enough on who gets cut 3.) Brian acts decisively and uses Bain's recommendations, mostly based on cutting higher paid TMs... — read more 

There were teams in which some were let go and some were kept. Isn't that discrimination? What was the reason to let some go and not others? It was clearly not performance based? Did everyone sign the paperwork and mail it in or are some people... — read more 

What about sioux falls location?

I had interviewed and received an offer to join the recruiting team at Amazon Over the holiday season. I also did some networking with folks who work there, ex targeteers, locals, non amazonians and about 70% responses were NOT favorable. One of the... — read more 

Seems like you'd only need a fraction of HR to handle a fraction of the HQ population. Same with OE and recruiting. We need to recruit better, not more.

Impacted Target employees. Medica is an awful company to work for, if they are recruiting you, run as far away as you can. I'm an ex-Target employee affected by the layoff last year. I took a job at Medica Health Insurance and it's the worst career... — read more 

There were cuts this morning other than those in HR.

Layoffs to continue, the next round will be April 7th. Target Corp moved the layoffs that I had anticipated to happen on March 17th, to yesterday the 19th. I guess they don't like me spilling the beans.

15's and 17's seemed to have got hit hard. What about the outrageously over-paid PG19 and PG21 group? This is the group that allowed the company culture to rot from the inside out...and yet there is little accountability there. Many of them are... — read more 

Watch out for Amazon folks - I've had numerous friends ditch Target prior to the massive layoffs and HATE their jobs...shit pay for a lot of hours...and they try to entice you with a wicked bonus and stock options but the catch is that those unlock... — read more 

Like any large company, it's different in different areas. I also worked at Wells Fargo, and it was way more screwed up than what I've experienced at Target. I've worked for 6 different companies over the past 15 years, and I'd rank Target my 2nd... — read more

Know of 8 TM's in HR pyramid.

Minimum wage paid to go to $9 per hour for all workers in April - this is following recent pay hikes from other large retailers. Saw it on CNN this morning.

I was impacted on 3/10 and already have a new job - start on 4/1. Anyone else having any success? Interviews? Call backs? There's hope, folks.

If HR people at Target have any influence over the future layoffs over the next 2 years, it would be so great if they allowed people to volunteer. Other companies (including amazon) do this and I think it makes things more fair, especially for people... — read more

1000's of contractors stay, 1000's of employees located in India stay? Why would you not replace the contractors with the TM's you planned to layoff?

I was told a consulting firm decided on who was to be terminated? 20years of service, always scored over 80 on annual reviews, it would be nice if Target would commnicate the MATH used to calculate who was let go. At least let us understand after all... — read more
