One of the reasons this is not the Target of 10 years ago is that the company has gotten so bloated and bureaucratic. Departments are 3-4x the size of their benchmarks in other companies. Brutal as these layoffs are, they're designed to get the... — read more 

Everyone should get to leave early tomorrow even they're not the ones let go. Everyone needs to be able breath a sigh of relief, drown their sorrows and/or wish friends off.

Last year we were told about the layoffs in our own meeting that was later in the day, after those that were negatively affected were notified. It is crazy though how much money gets wasted around here. Our refresh process had us refreshing assets... — read more 

This is incredibly disrespectful to those affected. Show some decency, people.

I think it should be obvious to all of us by now that our "leaders" don't really have any idea how to fix the mess we're in. Layoffs are always a short term fix to get investors off their backs. No meaningful change will occur until a lot more in... — read more
