Because I have that type of humor and in times like these I feel like we need to laugh at something, if we were at HQ tomorrow what would be the WORST song for Target to be playing in the public spaces? Example: You Need to Calm Down By Taylor Swift...
My wife and I are both facing layoffs this week
Her company’s in worse shape, and the chances of her getting let go are even higher. The odds aren’t looking good for us. If we both lose our jobs, we’re honestly sc--wed. I don’t know what we’ll do if at least one of us doesn’t find something new... — read more
Fall National/Target Together
As if this approach to layoffs wasn’t bad enough, anyone else reflecting on all the attempted “feel good” moments at this year’s fall National and feeling even more betrayed? BC getting emotional about stepping down, humanizing Fiddelke interviewing... — read more
1000 people layoff?
Is tomorrow is the day?
Best Team Survey
Man if anyone thought the results were bad this year wait until next year! Chances of any of us getting a bonus this year, highly unlikely.
Quality comes at a price
Which makes me think a lot of people who actually know their stuff have been picked for layoffs. Never mind that it would be yet another self-own for the company.
vacuum of silence
Does anyone else feel like they’ve been in a vacuum of silence since Thursday? No news, no updates, not from the company at large, not from my manager, not from my manager’s manager… the silence is deafening
Let's agree to ignore the trolls and bots on here: Don't respond, don't downvote. Just ignore.
What they want is a rise out of us. Ignoring them doesn't give them the satisfaction or the attention they crave. MAGA is in full effect since the news of this forum broke out on social media. Don't give them that energy.
Contemplating staying
If I survive tomorrow, I’m contemplating moving on or finding something new. I feel like this company is never going to recover. Is this rash thinking or do others feel the same? There just is no clear path to recovery.
I got so worked up that I can’t even care anymore
I’m numb at this point. Whatever happens, happens. I just want it to be over fast. The toll this whole thing is taking on our health is off the charts. Sc--w this company.
Later, guys!
I’ve refreshed this site so many times since Thursday. This is depressing af. See you all tomorrow. Good luck, I guess? I don’t know

From one of many impacted in previous Target layoff / RIF
As many of you wait to hear your fate tomorrow this message actually goes to everyone. I was impacted by a previous layoff at Target. If you do get bad news tomorrow, just know that you will survive this, and it will be but a blip on your life... — read more
FP&A
For FP&A, do teams experience layoffs if their business partners are experiencing layoffs, or is it across the board? Any one who was here during 2015 have some intel?
This truly su-ks
I'm over here updating layoff.com, my Outlook email, Slack, Blind non-stop. Why don't they just get it over with?
Will not be able to sleep tonight...
Anyone else has stress, mental and anxiety problems. I just cannot work today. I had trouble sleeping over the weekend. My wife says that I should stop thinking about it, but I cannot. Trying to meditate, helps a little bit but it's hard. I am... — read more
4 pm??
Checking in to see if there were any 4 pm / EOD comms or meeting invites stateside. It was reported that TII received invites at 4 pm IST
They certainly achieved one thing
With the way this is being handled, I know I'll be looking to leave whether I'm affected or not and I know so many others who feel the same. I don't know if that was the goal, but if it was, I think they might be surprised at how good it worked when... — read more
Did we ever determine what's going to take the worst hit?
I hate the lack of info from management.
Almost time
I know a lot of people are upset and venting right now, and that’s totally understandable. I just want to say that I really appreciate everyone here. There aren’t many spaces where we can share, ask questions, and stay anonymous. We’re all in this... — read more
Diversity and Inclusion team should take a beating
The constant pandering got us in huge trouble.
Tech or engineering affected?
Anyone hear anything about tech or engineers being affected by the layoffs? We’ve essentially received no communication from our managers, directors, or VPs since the news came out
Come back, Informant!
We need that person or people who had the very solid info before The Email came out to come back and feed us more. How is tomorrow going to unfold? This one isn't like the last one (2015). There was no notice ahead of time. Can someone who knows... — read more

3 things to do as a CEO?
If you were to be in Fiddelke's shoes, what would be 3 things you'd do right now? I'll go first: rebuild trust and do it fast (comms, plans, dont let people find stuff from the media) fix culture before fixing cost (give power 2 remaining... — read more

There are "new" and "active" buttons on this site
"active" is useful for me as it sorts posts by latest reply. it's a big blue button listed under "comment" button. hope it helps.
and therein lies the problem...
TII offshoring + rework, also time zones & duplication keep coming up as cost‑savings on paper. But in real life all of this creates waste in practice... The board is salivating as they are looking at cost savings projectiosn but they are clueless... — read more
Admins
Do we think they are changing the reporting structure for admins to a higher amount of leaders per person? If your an admin, and you have a open role (vp, SVp or sr) are you getting let go too?
