I have been with Target my whole working life. Started in stores and paid my dues until I could land a good HQ gig. 20 plus years with one company starting at the age of 16. That being said, does anyone have recommendations on job search tools? Which... — read more
I have never worked at Target
I do feel bad for those that have put years of service towards the company and wish anyone who loses a position the best of luck. Keep your chin up and go find something better. I do have a few questions, look through the bitterness and ask yourself... — read more
How do I keep working with an unknown future?
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
What departments will see the most layoffs?
Does anyone know actually positions being played off? Always heard merchandise and PD&D were safe. Is this still the case?
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.

What have we learned so far? How big is this thing and what execs were let go?
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
Flagging Walmart made a great publicity move when it promised to raise wages for 500,000 workers. Lots of free positive press. Anti-union Target doesn't get it, and they will pay as the competition for working class consumers and competent workers... — read more
Target Retooling

Roto-Rooter to buy Target under Environmental Mandate
Cause some company has to come in and clean-up the shit in Minneapolis.
Guessing is as bad as lying. Bad information with good intentions is still bad information.
Too many people pouring gasoline on the flames of fear around here. Little or no facts, little or no plausible reasons to believe the posters. I'm not sure if some of the posts have been by Target management in an effort to sabotage the credibility... — read more
Reply to Anonymous71514
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.
Less than 2 weeks
On March 10th, over 1,700 active team members at Target HQ will be laid off. This has been in the works for many months, has been alluded to very recently, and comes as direction from leadership at the very top. I've posted here in the past, all... — read more
Earnings call foreshadowing? Reduce complexity, simplify operating model, empowerment and better agility? Is this corporate speak for layoffs?
Based on Brian's comments to the investment community, does anyone have any concrete knowledge as to what will be communicated next Tuesday? The rumor mill is working overtime at HQ and many longtime executives are announcing "retirements".
