Target Corp. corporate employees logged onto a company Zoom meeting Tuesday morning to learn if they were among the 1,000 people that the retailer last week announced would lose their jobs.

They instead encountered silence after a technical glitch briefly knocked out the call’s audio, according to people familiar with the matter and a memo seen by Bloomberg News. That left employees staring for a few minutes at the bright red Target bullseye logo on the call’s background while the issue was being resolved, said one of the people, who asked not to be identified discussing internal matters.
