I will never go to Target again. You did your job well Brain and i hope Target folds.

Everyone who matters thinks this guy is awesome. He was paid $17.1M in 2022.

Note: The phrase “everyone who matters” does not include customers.

[servo1969]

Oops, sorry. $17.7M.

we made them what they are we can take them down just as fast. I have always said the power of the purse is a tool we all can use no matter where we are in life

The CEO serves at the pleasure of the board.

The board serves the institutional investors.

Guess the top four.

"After a massive wave of arson and looting, targeted its own chain stores, Target doubled down on its Racial Equity Action and Change strategy."

Also known as appeasement.

[RoosterRedux]

Well said.

And all those Woke influencers are trying their damnedest to earn their way into what is--in their general understanding--heaven/eternity.

Their collective gut (intuition/unconscious mind) tells them that there is a place such as heaven (life after death). And they listen to their gut in determining how to gain admission.

They aren't that different from most people except that they have a huge amount of influence.

When humans define "good/righteousness," they come up with some strange ideas.

When those same humans go in search of the true source of goodness/righteousness (i.e., God), they begin to learn how they missed the mark.

The most serious of the bomb threats came from an angry transgender activist who claimed to have placed bombs in five Ohio and Pennsylvania Target locations and warned, “we will continue to bomb your targets until you stop cowering and bring back your LGBT merchandise.”... Target stores have been regularly robbed, looted and burned without any sympathy for Target employees. And there’s been no support for female employees and customers forced to cope with men using their facilities.

Does Target have brain dead shareholders?

It's time for shareholders to sue the board of Target for this insanity.

[joma89]

This guy is the anti-white racist who is the enemy.

[OHPatriot]

Have any of these so calked “Bombs” gone off yet? Have ANY been found yet, or are these threats the ramblings of a sick perverted little mind?

I don’t give a Rat’s Ass what happens to Target stores. Burn them ALL to the ground. I like the meme a Freeper had the other day changing the name to “GROOMERS” instead of Target. Need to pass that one around. The CEO looks like a PERVERT. He has that smile/smirk look.

Target committed to racial quotas for its workforce and forced diversity and inclusion training on employees. Kiera Fernandez, Target’s Chief Diversity and Inclusion executive, warned that employees had to go along with the DEI agenda “to be a part of this company.”

Here’s what people once learned in B-school decades ago: The goal of business is to maximize shareholder wealth.

It seems this notion of capitalism is profane to many, and somehow cold hearted and mean spirited. That’s far from truth. It’s a fiduciary responsibility. People purchase stock in a company with money they earned. These people expect and deserve a return on their investment. Companies do that by being efficient and effective in their operations.

There is zero efficiency and effectiveness in DIE. It is childish overhead in a business. These are not serious people.

Shareholders should sue. Businesses have a responsibility to be good stewards of the capital their owners have invested.

ESG is the death of wealth.

People who enable ESG are the death of shareholder value.

I haven't shopped at Target since they gave "peeper rights" to perverts who wanted to watch women and children go to the bathroom and/or try on clothes. If I was a Target shareholder I would push for suing the board for allowing this crap in leiu of profits.

The key is to NEVER shop there again...

A perfect avenue for the profoundly unimpressive to move up the corporate ladder is to load up the resume with meaningless “diversity, equity, and inclusion” nonsense. Actual business competence is way down the list.

This is from 6 years ago and was prophetic back then. We’ve rapidly devolved to that point. It’s here.

This dude isn’t the only one, there’s one working at Disney World who posts on Facebook. He looks like a big guy with stringy hair dressed like a female. Those who think Disney can do no wrong tell this dude how beautiful he is and his necklace is pretty. Gag me!
