A person walks towards a Target store, July 15, 2025, in Nashville, Tenn. (AP Photo/George Walker IV, File) Target said Thursday that it is eliminating about 1,800 corporate positions in an effort to streamline decision-making and accelerate initiatives to rebuild the flagging discount retailer’s customer base. About 1,000 employees are expected to receive layoff notices next week, and the company also plans to eliminate about 800 vacant jobs, a company spokesperson said.
Main Idea: Target is cutting about 1,000 corporate jobs as new CEO Michael Fiddelke tries to simplify the company and revive sales.
Key Points:
Target layoffs may hurt 1,000 corporate workers and could slow service or store fixes if the turnaround falters.
Target says the cuts may speed decisions and help improve shelves, stores, and prices for shoppers.
