So Traget is laying off workers in India?? Somehow, I don't feel any pity or remorse for those workers, especially as I've seen over the past 10+ years, how good IT jobs have gone over to India, for less money and code quality, and US workers have... — read more 

Thanks for explaining how Target makes it profits. May be one more reason to boycott them!

Almost every single product sold by Target is not made by honest Americans, we sell them, we profit from it, we pay our wages based on the heavy marigins we slap on these products. You get your check and you do not think about the toy maker back in... — read more 

What is the rumour? That lay off happened or that jobs were lost to honest Americans or that you outsourced to Indian company? All of these are true!!! I will not be shopping at Target this holiday

Have a faith on employee friendly organization - Target. Most of people are trying to spread rumors. Don't believe rumors.

nothing happened this friday, you guys are spreading rumors, target is rock solid here...

here we go again - it's friday

Target was good but they laid off good workers without any appraisals like they used to do previously. All for outsourcing..bad idea

Target - Best Company Ever!!!

That's why they do visa fraud? Because they are better?

Infy is better than any other ousourcer

Is preponed a word?

11/20 is the next layoff in Bangalore that I hear. It seems the layoff is preponed to November from Jan.

I am actually in So Cal, I was not trying to be mean, just factual. I've seen many outsourcing deals where employees would be transferred to the oursourcer. Two things would change for them, the name on their paycheck and workload (they would... — read more

Why dont the VP's acknowledge the Layoff...when it is clear and evident in Bangalore

Next Layoff in Target India Bangalore is in Jan is the date we are hearing..Rumor mills

Yeah I dont think anyone else was actually layed off at corporate except for a couple archivists. no one said anything else about any other jobs or departments being affected. i think this is not as a big of a deal as people are making it out to be.

So then no one except IT departments were laid off? And only jobs in India were affected? Does that mean that no one at headquarters was actually fired? That doesn't seem to be too bad. Target must not be such a bad company after all.

who's LK? what about NK?

Your definition of outsourcing is not correct - outsourcing means transferring business processes and operational/corporate functions to a third part company. The third party company selects the preferred way of completing the work required... — read more 

600 people lost their jobs. Info sys will bring their people from India to take those jobs. That is what outsourcing means. No it was not just IT. Other jobs were lost too.

news?

LH was good.. NK is bad.

Only IT departments were cut? So no other departments were affected - that's pretty good right? At least other departments aren't being affected by it. I'm sure it's just IT because people are cheaper labor for internet and stuff when they're... — read more 

What do you mean when you say "given to Infosys" - does that mean that people lost their jobs? or that the just changed their employer?
