Either get on the bus or leave so no one else gets let go.
I have something to say to anyone bashing Target and Leadership. Ok. Time to get over it. Too many good people were let go and that sucks. You now have to make a choice, either accept the new reality and start contributing to right the ship or just... — read more
To those who thought lay off were bad...
Consider yourself lucky. There (no surprise) does not appear to be any actual strategy to execute within the CoE's. We literally go to work and do nothing except stew in our own anxiety and lack of information. This has to be the most poorly executed... — read more

Brain this is for you

The anonymous letter from a "current mid-level employee" at Target HQ sent to Gawker a year ago is worth reading again right about now.
http://gawker.com/target-headquarters-in-desperate-need-of-help-says-e-1573101642 "Target purposely staffs assuming that everyone is working at 50% productivity. In essence they have 2 people doing a job that 1 person could do at another company... — read more

Target Brain Drain
One of the big problems we face everyday in our building is what I will call a brain drain . we have such a high turn over of g.l's and management in general that the collective knowledge resets every one to two years or so. A lot of the quote... — read more
Layoff criteria were based on pay/time in position

Removal of pseudonym
Why is Deep Throat's name keep disappearing from the name section on his/her post and replies? I wonder if Target is asking for information to be removed from this website.
