After eleven years as Target's CEO, Brian Cornell is stepping down, though he will stay onboard as an executive chairman. This move was "widely expected." Target went woke, felt the pushback from half of the country, hit the brakes on the woke stuff, then felt the pushback from the other half of the country, and now this dude is done. Target's "tuck-friendly" women's swimwear and LGBT kids' clothes have now cost the company over $12 billion Target executives are probably getting together every 48 hours to get updates on the company's market cap, and every time there's probably some sad,...

A coordinated campaign used bogus social media accounts to amplify backlash against Target after the company scaled back its Diversity, Equity and Inclusion initiatives, according to a blockbuster report. An analysis by Israeli tech firm Cyabra found that nearly a third of the social media accounts driving outrage over the retail giant’s policy change were fake.

Cyabra reviewed thousands of posts on...

Has any American company run away from a public commitment faster than Target?In an Aug. 19, 2020, conference call, Target Chief Executive Brian Cornell forthrightly put his company in the forefront of the quest for racial and ethnic justice. George Floyd had been murdered by Police Officer Derek Chauvin, abetted by several other officers in Minneapolis, Target’s home city, only about three months earlier. Calls for recognition of the racism exposed by the killing were still reverberating nationwide.“Our team is passionately demanding equity and justice for our Black colleagues and guests,” Cornell said. “We are united in that passion and...

Target is struggling. Employees are worried. Online message boards used by hundreds of in-store staff are lighting up with fears about job security, increased workloads, and potential store closures. 'We are cooked,' one employee said on Reddit. 'Less and less hours with little to no change with what the expectations are from us all.' Another wrote: 'All we can do is ride it out and hope for the best. If it comes down to it, prepare a resume just in case.' Several workers have also posted TikTok videos showing backrooms overwhelmed with merchandise that hasn’t made it to the sales...

Key Points Target missed first-quarter revenue estimates as transactions fell, and the retailer cut its full-year sales outlook. The company has been struggling to return to growth for years, and created a new office to try to accelerate its turnaround. Target in part blamed falling consumer sentiment, uncertainty about tariffs, and backlash to its rollback of key diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives for its performance.

Sales at Target fell more than expected in the first quarter as the retailer faced boycotts for ditching its DEI efforts and felt the impact of President Trump's tariffs. Target cut its forecast for the rest of the year warning that sales would slip further as its customers pulled back on spending amid an uncertain economic environment. Earlier this year the company conceded to the Trump administrations attacks on diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives by scaling back its own efforts. However, the retreat created a fierce customer backlash leading to store boycotts that further damaged sales. Sales for the...

Self-checkout is checking out. Target is removing self-checkout stations from stores as thieves use the kiosks to conduct their crimes. Last March, the popular chain announced plans to limit self-checkout to 10 items and limit or remove self-checkout kiosks amid complaints about clunky technology and concerns about rising theft. Along with paring back customers’ self-checkout hauls, stores will expand the number of traditional checkout lanes available. Reddit user @jxbermudez72 shared a photo two weeks ago showing where the store they shop at had a large empty space where the self-check out stations had been. “The target I live near completely...

ATLANTA (AP) — The pastor of a Georgia megachurch who led a nationwide 40-day “fast” boycott of Target stores over the retail chain's commitment to diversity initiatives is now calling for that effort to continue as a “full Target boycott.” The Rev. Jamal Bryant said this week that the Minneapolis-based retailer has not met all of the boycott effort's demands. Among them: Restoring its commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion principles and pledging money to Black-owned banks and businesses. Target announced in January that it would phase out a handful of DEI initiatives, including a program designed to help Black...

DataRepublican (small r)@DataRepublicanThis is the first time I've felt like breaking down. But that means letting them win.Look... I don't know who you are. Unless you're Bill Kristol, I don't know why you hate me so. I gave up a lucrative career to do this. It was never for money.Why am I doing this? I know numbers. I see that my children have no future unless we tame spending. And as we are finding out, taming spending, also means taming the corruption in the government.The numbers don't lie. Look at them, logically. Look at how much of our economy is...
