This is random, but here it goes anyway. What do you think about quality of our benefits package in general?

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 

Has anyone on the IT side been affected by layoffs recently? I come here often but I have never seen posts on IT. I would think that we'd cut pretty deep over there as there is a lot of contractors with some really high billing rates.

All - how likely is it that we will be having pay cuts tomorrow? I've see some folks indicate that this is a likely outcome of many meetings that are scheduled all over Target tomorrow. Also, if we decide to have pay cuts, don't you think that there... — read more 

What kind of severance pay can we expect tomorrow? I am a fairly new member of the Canada Support team, I am assuming I will be let go tomorrow (well, I am actually certain about it)

Meeting notices go out at 7 a.m. for 9 a.m.. All Canada Support team members have been asked to come in tomorrow (they've been off for 4 weeks). Non Canada team members, If you get a 9 a.m. meeting, nice knowing ya. I'm guessing everyone else will... — read more 

Let's start a poll: I am predicting 1200

Take the package, their is a reason why Target is not listed in the top 100 companies to work for in Minnesota,. Profits first, guest 2nd, team last.. They had some talent at some vp levels but over the last few months many of those have been quietly... — read more 

Is the fact that we have 500K views here on a variety of topics but only 14 Facebook shares? Are we that scared? I am sure there a thousands of other Target folks who would love to join our discussion here. Sometimes I have a feeling that only I and... — read more 

Steinhafel's severance will be bigger than severance received by 17,000 people working in Canada that are losing jobs. In short, they'll take home 61 million USD, while the Canadians (all 17,000 of them) will take home around 56 million USD. Now, try... — read more 

There are about 14,000 people at target's MN headquarters, so 2,000 is a lot if they're all at headquarters, but maybe not too many if it includes other locations too. Target said there are 600 positions related to Canada they're reviewing.

Things are heating up for sure, just look at this board, all posts have thousands of views, that's a very good indication that things are about to escalate and that we will have a MASSIVE LAYOFF. It was like this last time we went through the cuts... — read more 

I heard all the layoffs are going to happen tomorrow - 2k to 3k people, not just Canada support. In core merch they are also going to eliminate the MP Director role. MP issues will flow thru Sr. Buyers.

Everyone ready for one of the most non productive days of the year!? Already seeing people cancel meetings for tomorrow at the speculation they won't be around anymore

Do you know what kind of severance packages are being offered this time? I work in IT but if you do not have IT values any value regarding severance would be very appreciated.

I was let go in the mass purge last year. I used this site extensively during that time. Just stopped by to see what's happening right now, I heard many rumors about layoffs but my sources seem to be conflicting. What's happening? Is Canada gone... — read more 

I would strongly recommend anyone that loses their job due to the Canada shut down not sign their severance package until they review the terms with an employment lawyer. It seems that leadership knew they're were going to pull the plug months ago... — read more 

Tons of private appointments that are blocking the majority of meeting rooms in city center Wednesday morning for multiple hours.

Layoffs this week will remove you from Target's books by 3/31 (45 days), but the Director's I've talked with no nothing...

Your email was so transparent. Selflessness? REALLY? How about you show some selflessness and take a 50% pay cut? You would still make millions, but you would at least practice what you preach. You would be putting "Target before Team" as you say... — read more 

On February 11th, the first of 3 layoff waves will occur. The first will be teams that took funding for Canada, but were not in direct support of Canada operations. If a team took funding for 3 people, that team must eliminate 3 positions regardless... — read more 

So when is the announcement coming for company wide layoffs

I am reposting this - someone wrote a very good overview of working at Target: After being with the company almost two decades I've seen the company culture go from braggable to being embarrassing to work here. That said, I've learned if you do not... — read more

It'd be great if we can have this thread with some dignity and stay polite.

Thursday's TTS Stand-Up meeting cancelled. Why ? Bob gone or Layoff day ?

Work at Tifton DC, the racks are empty and saw a rather large transfer going to another DC. Inventory scheduled for February. Just had inventory in August. Been with company 15 years...Any insight?

The people on the board are all edu-macated going to high dollar schools and yet the are running this company into the ground. Think about that before considering them as role models. And to think some of them are raising kids... Their future is shot... — read more

Lots of people out of work cause Target Canada failed. Those still hanging on have got their big lips planted firmly onto big fat management asses.
