Kinda seems that way....
Invites sent
Invites sent out. 8:45 meetings scheduled. I see it on at least 10 people I checked.
San Fran office?
how about they close that bullshit San Fran office that they use for "idea generations". I'm sure there's some cost savings there.
Why Target is Broken
I made a catastrophic mistake when I joined Target seven years ago. I made the mistake of putting SUBSTANCE over STYLE. This is the inherent problem with Target, and why it's so broken - and tragically, why it will cost so many good people their... — read more

Extra security and boxes in mailrooms at TCW.
If you don't work at Target, why are you reading??
I have a hard time understanding all these people who are spending so much time on this site when they don't work for Target, and clearly don't like it. I get you are trying to stir the pot, but frankly, you suck.
Mtgs?
Are they on people's schedules already? What are people seeing?

Gregg update
Rumor has it triple G has taken a break from teeing off in the yatch. He was spotted over the amazon forest shooting at rare tigers from a red chopper. Screaming bullseye! each time.
Should we be surprised???
...when we seem to spend more time with social hours' coffee meetings, meetings to discuss meetings, more cube contests than humanly possible and so on? Our culture turned into an unproductive social club with weekly popularity contests. I think many... — read more
Good luck today
Remember, YOU ARE NOT YOUR JOB. Good luck to all of you and I hope what's best for in the long term happens today.
Target: Stop Discriminatory Practices!
I just signed the petition "Target: Stop Discriminatory Practices!" Our goal is to reach 100 signatures and we need more support. You can read more and sign the petition here:... — read more
Just the beginning
Morale is going to go down the tubes after this. They probably would have laid off more, but they are counting on employees leaving in the aftermath. Capella University did the same thing a few years back. Morale NEVER recovered after the fact. And... — read more
BRING BACK THE OUTSOURCING FROM IBM
Millions could be saved... instead of making backroom deals with the VP's at IBM
I can't sleep. I just threw up. If I get laid off tomorrow, I might kill myself.
I'm such a failure. That is all.
Target puts the 'cult' in culture
Someone more clever than myself put it this way: "Target puts the 'cult' in culture." I worked at Target HQ for five years. It is too often an organized personality contest. Want to get ahead? Forget about actually being good at your job. Focus... — read more
India Layoffs
Do you guys have any updates from Bangalore? Any layoffs or announcement?
Coffee Status
What's a Coffee Status? A store employee here, so please bear with me as I am not familiar with HQ terms
So true.... http://www.startribune.com/business/295406701.html
I didn't see this in my area as much but when you walk down the sky ways it felt like High school again with these popular girl cliques hanging out at coffee shops.
Anyone concerned with safety tomorrow?
People have gone postal for less...

United flushing of Target Dog. All those beloved stuffies sitting on your desks need to go! Drinks after on Gregg Steinhafel. Team Target.
Good night and Good Luck.
I never understood the Target culture of not working and endless coffees/statuses. I got hired to do a job to move projects forward not spend all day at Starbucks. Fear is a terrible thing to live in And how about some transparent honesty from upper... — read more
Layoff Criteria
So heard some rumors they were basing it off of review scores hence why this isn't happening until reviews are complete... The thing is the number is completely useless and makes no sense to me. You start a new role or get promoted and you basically... — read more
Any regrets ?
I regret not asking out that cute brunette with glasses who worked on the same floor as me. We shared something, but now she is gone, flew back to her home state (not mentioning it as it might give too much away). I also regret not having taken... — read more
Target Creative affected too?
Anyone have any details about the depth of layoffs for Target Creative? Now that BC has reduced the number of external agencies we use and given that business to TC, you would think that team is the safest out of anyone and yet the levels of... — read more
