RedRock, Everest, Canada, Merch IQ. Million$ dumped into the wrong strategies and putting the wrong people in leadership roles.
4 years total work in TTS and Merch. The wrong stuff in leadership positions trying to gain power and excluding people with leadership skills who really want to make an impact, create efficiency and add value. Too many failures during this period:... — read more

Store Ops Unaffected?
Emails of travel freeze and SVP/VP leaving atquick rate, but nothing much on Store Ops. Is it really possible that Store Ops get by in the clear?

To those who think they are going to be let go and sent home next week, listen up
If you think that you are going to come in next week get your layoff notice, pack up your desk and head to the bar I think you are in for a rude awakening. If the Canada (US Team Member) layoffs were any indication, what is going to happen is that... — read more

How to be successful at TGT
I made the decision to call it quits after putting in 3 years and 3 promotions taking the "feedback" and dealing with the politics. Great professional learning experience over all and I wouldn't trade it for anything. Now, after having nearly a... — read more

How to get ready for layoffs
I left last year and knew I'd be walked out (went to a vendor). Update your resume, ask people to be references if you can, network outside of Target. Take everything home in advance that you can, stock up on stuff with your employee discount... — read more

Should I take next Tuesday off. I'm concerned there might be people who will be disgruntled or even worse...violent.
Could be much deeper than we think....
I pray this is not true, however fear that it is. I have a close friend that I will just say is not at a low level HR position. She has informed me that the next two weeks are going to be much more painful and "deeper" than has even been reported to... — read more

Anyone have big plans for what's next?
If you get let go, what would you want to do next? This would certainly be a kick in the pants for me to do something totally different.
Domino Effect: Merch to Dist to Store Ops
So if it is true that the BA role is getting replaced by DOST, it would explain why Dist Ops and Dist facilities were told to stay put through next week . automation will certainly also roll into distribution planning and tie in with TNO. What will... — read more
