I have been with Target for 14 years, needless to say I have very limited experience with hunting for jobs. I heard that LinkedIn is very good and I have updated my resume over there and I am adding folks to my network. It's easy to search and find... — read more 

I was worried about the new CEO, but optimistic. Now I know why the board was aggressively looking outside of Target. They knew going into this that many of us would lose our jobs. They could not hire within as our executive committee could not do... — read more 

What would happen to our work iPhones? I know I waited until my previous contact was up so I could keep my carrier/phone number. It's the only phone a lot of people have!

1) Search job postings in local but also nationally interesting locations. 2) Disregard notion of whether my title/level aligns with the job descriptions that jump out at me. A Target Mgr can be equivalent to an external director....Soo...if the... — read more 

All this talk about putting money into Digital and how crucial it is, but haven't been told we're safe. Assume we're not. It's a pretty small community in the Twin Cities and word gets around fast. If they screw this group over, it will be next to... — read more 

I assume the 401(k) continues to be withheld throughout the 60 day WARN period. How soon after the severance is paid can a person rollover their 401(k) to another to another investment broker? Can you cash any of it out if you're under retirement... — read more 

What's the rumor mill for transportation ?

Have any of these rumors been proven real? Did anyone predict the Canada layoffs on here before it was announced?

And stop making full out bullshit pre reviews.

Now that we're seeing a shift in the Target "CULT"...will we finally be freed of the expectations of management and 'shaming that we must 'volunteer' or participate in "team building' events which are are really forced volunteerism?

Is severance one big fat check that gets a huge take by Feds and State for taxes? Or is it spread out bi-weekly like a paycheck based on the # of years you worked?

Any idea of TNC accounts payable will be headed to India or contracted out?

Does anyone know what that impact will be?

Brian Cornell to Exempt leaders before Q4: We missed EBIT all year and unfortunately no one will be eligible for that portion of their annual bonus. As your new CEO, I have met a lot of outstanding team members and I believe we can win together. Lets... — read more 

Hearing a lot about Merch BAs... I assume the move to agile scrum teams in TTS means less of the BA/PM/PA roles. Any idea if this means huge layoffs in TTS? Please no "I'm better than you because of my role" posts.

What do people think about the fact that we still allow all International travel to be Business Class at this pt in time. Many tickets are close to $6K or more per tkt while people are going to be laid-off?

Honestly I have a lot of work to do, but how the heck am I supposed to concentrate when this chaos is going on...seems redicioulous to work so hard if the end result is I might just get laid off anyways. I think I may take up some of these "coffees"... — read more 

Do you think that the money saved from the layoffs will mean red water cups will make their their trimphant return to tpn and tps lobby? What else could they bring back?

We'd like to expand "Related companies:" section on the top of the page. Do you have any suggestions on what companies to add? Currently we have Sears, Wal-Mart, Amazon and Best Buy. Thanks!

So are all BA's done for? Would this include new hires supposed to start this Summer?

What do you think, are they going to hit us on Monday or Tuesday - let's tally the predictions in this thread

I heard the United way has to disband because it's funding source is being downsized.

Even if many of us don't get the ax next week doesn't mean we don't get caught up in the next wave. It's a pins and needles effect and it feels like we are holding our breath for the next time. How can you live like that? Do you buy that car that you... — read more 

What are the rumors for non-exempts ? Don't respond "this is all of HQ" we know that. Just seeing if anyone has anything to share.

So if there are a PG15 and PG17 managers in a department. Who would be the target for this so called 50% reduction in management ?

Heard people are planning to unite and wear black on Tuesday. Hope you can join us!

When I came to target I was amazed at the youth in this company. Then I realized that there was a decent population of folks who did nothing but market themselves through "coffee" / "developmental" statuses. You could become a director if you were an... — read more 

The recent announcement that Target’s strategic focus will be in apparel, home, beauty and “localized” offerings is a repeat of strategies, some dating back to the mid-1990’s, that lost their way over the recent years. For those of us who have a... — read more 

I am NOT looking for anything vulgar or repulsive. But for those who have Twitter accounts, now is the time to Tweet, and re-Tweet how horrible it is to work at Target. Don't do anything that will get you into any sort of legal mess. But if you work... — read more 

Target HR does not like to get blood on their hands and deal with actual personnel issues. Instead they focus on new hires (have to keep the “talent pool” full of young MBA’s to backfill anyone who has aged out of their time at TGT). When a team... — read more
