Topics regarding layoffs at Target Corp.

This is NOT being handled the right way

Today one of my colleagues was let go, and of all the people at Target she was the LAST person who should have been fired. She embodied Fast Fun and Friendly to her core. She stayed late every day. She did more coffees than anyone I've ever seen. She... — read more

It is not the end - it's just gonna be different

Target folks - take a deep breadth. I can relate to the anger, frustration, fear, and disappointment you are feeling. I was there last year, these decisions are made very high up - less surgical than you think. It's NOT personal, there are too many... — read more

Does everyone get invited to the same room?

Our department just received invites for a meeting tomorrow morning. All my peers got it and it is for the same room. I am almost positive we are not all getting let go. So how does it work when the invites go out? Do they invite everyone to the same... — read more

Brian "The Butcher". Strategy or just habit?

Less than seven months on the job and already on track to eliminate over 20,000 jobs. Impressive. He's already breaking his old records. I wonder if the $1.3 million base salary makes it all worth it?

Senior Humanity Specialist

Brian Cornell has shown his true colors. Slash and burn regardless of individuals' ability. A lot of the people cast off today are among the best leaders we have....had. The heartless way in which this is being executed indicates BC isn't interested... — read more 

Get it over with

I kind of hope I'm cut loose. Get out there and find a company who values my contributions versus rewarding a bunch of schmoozers. IMHO that is what is killing Target this culture of doing little and expecting much.

Meritocracy at Target

Office politics has a higher power than meritocracy. I think meritocracy is a concept totally unknown to "Target's people in leadership positions". I say it in quote because there is no real leadership.

Ex-employee's look from the outside in and back out?

Feel bad for all of the current Target employees. I have to say, I think all of you could have seen this coming. I worked for the company for a long enough time to figure out the ins and outs of the way the "politics" work in this place. Your direct... — read more

Target Credit Union?

What do I do if I get laid off and Target Credit Union is my only bank? Will I have time to close out my account? I don't have checks so it's not like I can write a check for all my money to a new bank. Ugh.

PMs and BAs

I heard this week that once again they are sending PM and BA roles to Target India. Clearly the PM function is something that Target doesn't care about or doesn't understand. If they need only a Project Coordinator who checks the boxes, yes, it makes... — read more
