Walmart is hiring..
Just saying ;)
(they pay better to)
Mark Dayton (yes, from the Dayton family that started target) is trying to bail them out with state money as we speak.
Time for a new dream, young lady. Perhaps a self-employment dream?
It’s been the way of the corporate world for decades. Stock price a little low? Announce large scale layoffs, feed the analysts some optimistic cost savings, and sit back and watch the price soar.
Dreams are for Dreamers - and if you’re not illegal, you’re not one ...
Never love your company because it will never love you back.
Fails:
Women’s clothes are for teenagers or skinny young adults.
Prices are usually higher than Walmart.
They remodeled to add a grocery section with very little selection and higher prices than Walmart.
On the other hand, I don’t see many fat ghetto babes in our Target.
I never quite understand it. If you lay off 1700 employees and the company is better off for it, what were those 1700 people doing. Hangin’ at the water cooler? Who hired the 1700 duds in the first place?
How many of those being laid off are radical left wingers who voted for Emir Obozo at least twice, and will vote for their 2016 left wing candidates?
When Emir Obozo was running in his first election to be Emir Potus, a daughter of maybe the last old democrats got married.
She, at that time was in middle Target home office management in Minnesocold.
Dozens of her co workers came to the wedding. Many wore Obozo/Biden pins. We learned very quickly to avoid any time talking to these warriors for Obozo.
Since the marriage, this young woman and her husband have returned to this area. Slowly, they are becoming old type democrats like their parents. My wife noticed that they haven’t gone back to Target land since they left years_ago.
When ever, ardent/vocal Obozo supporters lose their jobs, our cold logic is “You are getting what you voted for!”
Obamaeconomy. One lie after another.
Unfortunately, this has also meant whole teams of people not making decisions. Couple that with the over-confidence in their market position they demonstrated over the past five years means this was coming.
Target was bloated. They had buildings full of people not "doing" much. This cut was coming. Unfortunately, some good people were cut. They'll be hired quickly by others. For the rest, I'm sure Mark Dayton, with all his business success and success as governor will have a plan. Or not. Considering MN is last in private employer growth, has seen a number of large companies go through massive, albeit unreported layoffs, and Medtronic LEFT the state and country to get out of huge corporate tax rates.
I've worked with Target for years. I found them very difficult to work with and the lack of decision making was stunning. Wal-Mart, in comparison, made decisions, didn't string along vendors and suppliers and has always dealt fairly in their negotiations. They understand they will only be successful if their suppliers are profitable as well.
BMK
Target was one of the stores that started advertisements using queers, and shoving political money to support the queer agenda.
As the guy from ‘Restaurant Stakeout’ says, ‘the customer is king.’
Target was the one who made the decision, let them, uh, eat it.
Pandering to every left wing cause possible to try to keep a small but vocal group of soccer mom types coming back has really worked I guess.
