What the he-l happened?

There are a few Target VPs already posting on LinkedIn that they have new roles at other companies. They knew before us. Not only that, they knew like 60 days ago because they are already working at the new company. Probably got professional... — read more 

Do we know if there were cuts there?

Is this a real simplification and an efficiency measure? Maybe? But it may as well be cover for offshoring to TII + Contractors. I do have tendency to be paranoid tho.

so far so good today. but... are we just left for latter and will there be a massive cut within these groups as well? i kind of have a feeling that we have been sloted for a later cut but i am basing this only on my personal gut feeling and i do not... — read more 

Does the WARN filing mean 528 at HQ plus 287 at TNC????? Or are remote and global roles missing? I think TII would not be covered by the WARN notice as this is US only? Am I wrong here? What's the actual number???

Did Directors and L7s take the brunt, or were L5 to L6 ICs hit just as hard across digital and merch?

Any word on how the call centers faired?

I understand this is just the first Round and there is more in process in the next 3-9 months. Continue with the back-up plan

It was shared internally then deleted mysteriously. Pls post the link/info. (For non TMs disregard it’s to an internal list). Super helpful for reaching out to folks for support as opposed to guessing and calendar stalking.

Can we get food stamps right away or do we have to wait after we get our severance and 60 day pay and benefits? I got lots of bills and little ones to feed

I just saw some discord link and public slack link thread got deleted.

I swear, if anyone still needed proof of how incompetent this leadership is, we just got it loud and clear.

To those impacted, are you done today or do you have to knowledge transfer? I had to do KT throughout my entire 2 month stay.

I get the emails. ~528 for HQ, ~287 for TNC. Assuming this does not include Remote The State Rapid Response Team (SRRT) received a Federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, 29 U.S.C. § 2101 et seq. ("WARN") letter from Target... — read more 

Anyone know if the roles company wide were cut?

There's a list of US people impacted, does anyone know of a list for global employees? #yelling says there are people in TII who were laid off so I was hoping there'd be a list of global employees impacted. Or does anyone know names of specific TII... — read more 

Now that the communication is out, looks likely that the people impacted is more than 1k, heard from 3 different people from Target India that they have 200 plus people impacted and with 900+ people on the 9AM call, we may have more than the 1k... — read more

I made it through, but from here on out, all my focus is on finding a new job. I’m done with Target. There were some good years, but this isn’t the company I joined ten years ago.

Can I just start by saying, what a complete sh-t show these last few days have been? They made us employees wait for days, ruin our mental health, and provide no information at all at how this would unfold. Then hearing of this absolutely... — read more 

Why shed all that knowledge and let go of those who knew every nook and cranny of their area? Just to replace them with cheaper offshore labor that can’t possibly bring the same level of involvement or deep understanding of the organization and its... — read more 

Can we have at least one damn day to relax and take in the fact that we survived instead of having people already talking about future rounds? Are some of you masochists? Are you addicted to drama? What is your problem? The layoffs are over. It’s... — read more 

Just got an invite this afternoon to meet with my one other coworker (We’re L5), the SVP of our area and then our boss’ boss. No agenda, no details. Meeting is private. Seems really strange and now I’m stressed out again.

Decided to not even bother to join the meeting, how was F&B impacted overall?

Anyone who was let go willing to share what the severance package ended up being?

My husband was just laid off. He's technically in the Tech space so looks like no sector is safe. He wasn't an engineer btw.

Yes, we can catch our breath for now, but this is only the beginning. If you think you’re safe, think again. All signs point to layoffs becoming the new normal. I wish it weren’t like this, but ignoring it won’t help anyone.

Anyone know what merch org changes are happening?
