Target’s (TGT) planned layoffs of 1,000 corporate employees were marred by a technical glitch during a companywide Zoom (ZM) meeting on Tuesday, Bloomberg’s Jaewon Kang. As staff logged on to learn whether they were affected, the call’s audio briefly failed, leaving employees staring at the Target logo in silence. Afterward, Target’s head of HR emailed participants confirming that their roles had been eliminated and apologized for the mishap. The glitch was the latest in a string of communication issues during Target’s first major restructuring in nearly a decade, which also includes plans to leave 800 open positions unfilled to simplify operations, Bloomberg says.
