Trying to find a consolidated thread to try and recap any role eliminations today at HQ so we can see what the hell is going on - and since there’s not one, am hoping this can be one. If you hear of any role or org eliminations pls drop them below. 🙏 this some BS. Hugs to all.

*Edit to add: the empathy on this post fuels my faith that good people exist in corporate America, and why I have loved Target. Continue to push it forward and make some change ✊🏻

Today, 400 in total gone at Target India.(all kinds of positions asst manager, managers, directors, vp) which means only 600 will go from US today as previously anticipated as 1000.

I am absolutely not claiming to have inside knowledge here, but two different people who are pretty well connected in Minneapolis mentioned they heard the same thing - Target is going to announce significant layoffs on Tuesday.

LONG POST, TL;DR down below

This question is meant for everyone in a DC and in Stores, and I would like to hear from everyone in the comments. Share what you are thinking, feeling, and experiencing that could make you believe that Target will soon face full-store closures, lay-offs, or leadership restructuring. (NOT A FACT, Just a skeptical thought)

Corporate just laid off 1,800 employees in Q3, right BEFORE the holidays/Q4 begins. First off, imagine if any of you were laid off right before Thanksgiving and Christmas. Not smart for stores, but how quickly will they do it in Q1? The decision for lay-offs is deafening and ironically a wake up call. To that, Target might be desperate to meet shareholders request and make marginal profits increase. To me, they wouldn't make this big of a shake up if they weren't scared.

I walked into the backroom and I don't think my team lead and another ETL saw me, but they were saying that in one of their meetings they were told next year Target will be downsizing their leadership and adding more responsibilities to other leads to help keep stores afloat. I can tell my team lead is already stressed and I'm sure that didnt help. So I have no doubt their gonna be stressing workload completion on us even more.

Im not too worried as a GM team member, but what does that mean for Target as a whole? DEI and Boycotts definitely made it hard for Target to grow this year so yeah, lay-offs is a garbage move but they arent gonna lay-off team members during Q4.

All-in-all, am I reaching too far out to think all of this? Is this just a corporate impacted thing?

TL;DR: Target laid people off to save money cause they're losing money. Is Target really worth staying at? Is the job gonna get hard for team members?

Is Target really laying off workers today? There’s a lady on tik tok saying today’s the day but it seems to be just rumors. Any Target HQ employees know?

I’ll try to post the video below

Target Layoffs in corporate offices confirmed

In a few threads I have seen this discussion come up. Some people say that Target may layoff team members in addition to people in the corporate positions. Others are saying they won’t, for several reasons/experiences. I doubt anyone has a definitive answer, but I was wondering if anyone remembers a time when this has happened before and what you think the possibility of it is.

If they do, who decides the layoffs? Does it come down the chain where store/district leadership determines who stays and who goes? Or does corporate determine it through a series of criteria that TMs must have met?

We all know the state of most stores right now. Understaffed due to lack of hours. Not enough team members/roles to get everything done efficiently, if at all. I feel like laying off TMs will just be more destructive and basically suicidal for every store. My area just built a new store and opened it last year. They’re planning another one an hour away from it.

What do you think? Is this reminiscent of previous layoffs, or is it just too different to really tell?
