Store headcounts change yearly. In fact, Target has a strong sense of direction with what they want their positions and org charts to look like, and has slowly made changes over the last 5+ years to get us closer to their ideal setup. Will we see cuts? I would guess probably because that has already been the trend, to turn the TLs into more leaders and less task, and to have less total leaders in the building. We will see what comes down, but it would be erroneous to assume that they are making these decisions on a whim. The only thing that may be concerning is that they are speeding up their plans to make up for some lost ground...

Yes, but their (cvs, walgreens, etc) store managers don't make over $100,000 a year.... more like $45,000.... and their version of ETL's pull in $13/hour.

Correction... many people survived, but not all.
Don't forget every single specialist in the company was called into the office just a few years ago and told they were getting the ax. Of course, they were promised they would keep their hours and departments. How many stores kept good on that deal? I know the ones in my district didn't. Every single specialist either got pushed out the door or was basically forced to quit over 1 to 2 years time.
Don't think Target will do it again? Don't think it will be you? We'll see....

That's going on 5 years now, and there hasn't been anything nearly as drastic as that...
Anyways I don't need to worry I only work weekends as it is... Focusing on school and my other job.

This is the same boat that I'm in. I'd like to stop jumping through all of these hoops if there's no longer anywhere to land, you know?
I guess only certain people got the PM, which is kind of shitty considering the information has always been provided on the forum when it's been found out. I'll check on sharepoint today to see if I can find anything on it. If so I'll post it so everyone has a better understanding and can make choices appropriately.

Ok, folks. I got the pm from the op. I have to change some details on it, first & confirm which org groups are impacted.
Stay calm, everyone.

Our DTL turned in her resignation after being on less than a year. Sounds like a lot of the ETLs in our district are jumping ship, too. Curious to see how it all pans out.

I suspect anything they do isn't going to be so radical that if you haven't been paying attention to this board you won't have seen it coming for while.
They tend to test run this kind of stuff ahead to see if it will work and then drop it on the entire system.
This time I think they just went to the furthest corner of the plan because the financial circumstances caused by the breach but I think it was inevitable.
Keep in mind this hasn't been confirmed, the sky really isn't falling.
There are just big cracks in it.

I'm going to add to the chorus. Can I get a PM too from the OP or someone else? Thanks.
Because we don't know if it's fact yet, and we don't want to get the OP fired? to put it vaguely, there may or may not be cuts in certain areas. Regular TM's will probably be ok, disregarding the whole lack of hours part, which isn't unusual.

Because nothing is 100% official yet. Besides, from what I'm seeing, regular TMs are gonna be just fine, it's only a few TLs and ETLs that have to worry

I doubt my store will see many cuts, how can you cut back more on 3 ETLs (total) and 10 TLs, where none are doubled up on any part of the sales floor.
(It just takes away hope that even if business increases more in 2014 than 2013 we probably won't see any extra TL or ETL positions open up).
To quote jurassic park, "life finds a way."
The only way to increase profit is either to increase revenue or decrease spending. Target has traditionally (for the last few years, at least, anyway) Opted for the latter. On top of that, it's not like increasing revenue is even an option at this point, all things considered.
