Target
plans to cut around 1,800 corporate roles as part of its strategy to reverse
stagnant sales, The Wall Street Journal reported on
Thursday, citing people familiar with the matter.
As
of February 1, the company had about 440,000 employees.
The
company's restructuring follows 11 consecutive quarters of weak or declining
comparable sales, according to the report.
Target
maintained its annual forecasts in the previous quarter owing to weak demand in
its largely discretionary segments such as apparel and electronics items.
Around
80% of the corporate job cuts will affect U.S.-based employees, the WSJ report
added.
Target
did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.
