Target Corporation (TGT) announced plans to eliminate approximately 1,800 corporate positions on Oct. 23, its first major workforce reduction in a decade. The cuts include about 1,000 current roles and 800 unfilled positions, or roughly 8% of the global corporate team.
The move comes as sales remain under pressure, with a 1.9% decline in comparable store sales in the most recent quarter and annual revenue essentially flat over the last four years. TGT shares have tumbled 31.97% year-to-date (YTD), closing at $92.91 on Oct. 30.
