3 months since I walked, without anything in hand. I can tell you that life is way better outside - you will realise it when you find something at a younger, more nimble company. Especially true for old timers who have known nothing else. Today, I... — read more
Quit your whining. 3 months + to figure out what you want to do next? You win!
There were plenty laid off in 2014 and early this year who probably didn't get 3 months of pay PLUS years of service. My agreement included a fine ($10,000+) if I disclosed the terms of my "separation". What a slap in the face to the pre March 2015... — read more
Guest-centric? No, it's mostly about shareholders and not all about Target employees.
Brian may be trying to sell this "transformation" as being all about the guest, but it's really about the stock and the Board. That's why Black Hat Brian was hired. Don't get me wrong. Target had too many levels of management and there were all kinds... — read more
TGT has called in some of my co-workers to come back in a work for 5+ days this week and next.
So, there goes that "15 Weeks of Severance" that was promised to the media. Is it really severance if you're called back into work like an idiot? No. Just, no. According to the first paragraph of the separation agreement, Target has the right to... — read more
Growth strategy a ruse
Most growth companies are not paying dividends or buying back stock. If the board is really committed to being a growth company, then shred the dividend and buy backs and pour that capital into company. They won't of course....easier to increase... — read more
Has anyone disregarded the non compete?
I was not affected by the lay offs so my non compete will not be waived. I want to go work for a vendor but don't know how to approach this. Do I not tell Target where I am going? Has anyone gone through this before? Does Target actually enforce... — read more
Brian, I want to be a part of the transformation.
I would really appreciate of you would commit to me being a part of the transformation. I'm willing and able, but as hasty as the layoffs have been, it is clear being a strong performer that there is a good chance you will pull my name out of a hat... — read more
What did Brian have to say today?
The overflow rooms were full when I got there so I missed it.
SO-Can I get promoted if I'm not an ass kisser like Keri and Casey??
It seems like hard working people stay at the same level (except for Kathee and Jodi who should have been the first two fired!) while ass kissers like Keri Jones and Casey Carl keep getting promoted even though in-stocks are the worst ever (Keri) and... — read more
Job Fair at Minneapolis Convention Center on Wednesday March 18 9 a.m. - 4 p.m.
The career fair is part of a diversity and inclusion conference, but it appears that anyone can attend. Google The Forum on Workplace Inclusion, sponsored by the University of St. Thomas. Good luck everyone.
reminds me of TGT! http://dilbert.com/strip/2015-03-16?utm_source=dilbert&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=daily_strip_image
i find Dilbert alot less relevant since leaving TGT.... but this reminded me of TTS.
Need a Target turnaround
Don't start with the flames just hear me out. We all need Target to be a strong employer and one that turns itself around and becomes a hiring force in the metro area. Why? Because it makes everyone that more valuable and in demand with increase of... — read more
Target Hall Meeting Tomorrow
Does anyone have this on their calendar yet or know what time it'll be at? I haven't heard anything besides the mentions in emails last week. Thanks.
No more Target shopping
It was interesting, I went to a family get-together today with a bunch of family and relatives. So many loved Target in the past and would always had good things to say about my company. As people who care about me, they said they are DONE with... — read more

Target India Layoff on April 10th and they may use the score as one of the strategy
The labor commissioner in Bangalore may have been paid well now ( consultant fees or dirty terms Bribe) to keep quiet.
2 Questions
When we get our reviews, will we see any raises this year? 2. When the next round of restructure/reorganization/chop of the axe comes around in a few weeks, will we get our severance based on our new pay or not?
Will TGT still use overseas child/slave labor factories for production of owned brand product?
That will save a bunch of $$$!
Future of TSS??
Any idea what the future of TSS is?
Do we know the fates of Lisa McNeil, Beth Rolfzsen, Erica Shea, Kelly Linton, Jennifer Langan?
Thanks much, I want to reach out but would prefer to have an answer before I do.
Updates from Impacted Employees
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.
Male to Female ratio at Target HQ
Anyone has a number?
Brian Cornell's Theme Song...Sad But True
I was let go last week..sitting here listening to music on a lonely, heartbreaking night. This song, these lyrics, fit so appropriately to the situation I couldn't hesitate to share. Watch the embedded You Tube video and read the lyrics... — read more
Sourcing
I head that they were going to move the specialist in sourcing to exempt and give them a raise to take on the TSS BA work. Any truth to this?
Distribution restructure
Can someone please explain the dc restructuring?
After a bad week, everyone should be spending this beautiful weather day with their friends and family!
Nothing of value have been posted here recent. Don't let the negative posts here drag you down. That's all!
Vacation time
If you quit target do you get your vacation paid out, or do you lose it?
Non exempt team members...what was your severance package?
Curious if team assistants and other non exempt employees received the same severance package as everyone else?
