I'm at the bottom and I love Target and I wanted to make a career here, but how can I feel stable enough to move if all I've seen in my first year are countless layoffs? How do I work towards movement when I'll be in fear in the next two years?... — read more

Worst news possible

How can anybody work at a corporation that announces that layoffs will be a commonplace occurance for the new few years? And it will be thousands of jobs lost. Employee morale is just going to go right down the toilet.

More contractors?

If the plan is to layoff thousands over the next few years, it wouldn't surprise me if those same positions were later filled by contractors. Target will get virtually the same amount of work done, and will have no healthcare costs, no benefits, no... — read more

What groups are they targeting for layoffs now?

I am confused. The VP cuts were very surprising for me, I thought we were done with layoffs for 2015. But now, they are cutting again. What's going on? Why are they cutting and what groups are targeted.

Target Class Action Lawsuit

Do you think that we as employees who were let go in January have a chance to win a class action lawsuit against Target. I know that some jobs eliminated did not have a WARN notice, maybe that's something a good law firm would like to investigate?... — read more

Target Doesn't Get It

You are wrong with your assessment of 1700 people to be laid off. It is more like 3,000. It is all of the areas you specified, but deeper. 100 stores are closing. AND NO new stores opening this year.
