Right, we'll just cut of all internet and phone connections to Bangalore, Chennai and Hyderabad just to keep TI guys in dark. Give me a break, India was posting on this site when no MN folks even knew that the site existed - TI is as always two step... — read more
Target India - Please keep quiet
As it was requested today: please be quiet and do not communicate the layoff news to Target India resources. They will be notified by their management at the appropriate time.
Construction Dpt
No hits in construction as of today
Did construction get hit today? I was wondering as Target is scaling back on stores and closing some.
Anyone know?
I agree on TI
We'll see what happens, I think this site will get a million views today
Blood Bath at TI
It will be a mayhem at TI ...
Disappointed
It is disappointing when I continue to see Target cut top talent in the IT space. I can speak to it from a person who has been through being let go, the folks that were cut who were good will have new jobs in 3-5 weeks. It will take Target 3-5 years... — read more
@severance
20% of salary? That seems low. Is the percentage based on some variable such as years of service? I know in my area those let go weren't here very long.
Never sure if we can trust their numbers
We could have had 500 in mn and never know.
@Anonymous3412 - what team are you on?
I heard at least 400 more in March, cannot confirm though. They will try to stabilize things and then cut even more.
The first one to announce
Kudos goes to "Anonymous3345 (Marketing), Wednesday 01/22/14 16:03:51 UTC // Sorry guys, afraid the cuts have started. 9:45 folks got notices and now 11:00am meetings scheduled."
More coming?
25% of my team was cut today. Will there be another wave of layoffs coming? February? March? At all?
Severance
Hqs exempt: You essentially remain an employee for 45 days, with company healthcare and pay. After 45 days you have to sign your severance agreement in return for a Taxable severance which is appx. 20% of salary.
@Anonymous3403 - sorry to hear it
BTW, did you guys at HR this was coming (for non HR folks) _ I am assuming you did not know that you will be hit.
HR was hit hard. People who were SVP favorites were saved. Co-workers who had 8+ years and great review scores in the past were let go.
It's unfortunate Target let some of these people go and others stayed. Always a tough thing. The HR group that I know had some amazing 8+ year veterans who were top notch. They even contacted a co-worker who was on vacation in Mexico that they were... — read more
Target India
Guidance: "Please do not reach out to partners in Target India until January 24 as messaging will come from their leaders within the next 24 hours"
Severance Package Information
Can you guys post your severance deal here so we can compare? I'd post but luckily I am still around - I am very much concerned that I will be affected in the next round (March 2014). Thank you!!!
Confirming cuts in Store Design/Engineering
Not even close to 10% though (as reported here before)
PMCOE
I think we are around 6% in cuts here at PMCOE

TTS
Tomorrow its going to be TCOE in TI I heard
Very appreciative of the one or two posts that contained knowledgeable and accurate information.
Wish the rest of you who just pretended to know things could have just STFU.
