Two days after posting this, the company announced it was laying off 8% of its corporate workforce and suspending all new hiring for open roles — bringing total cuts to roughly 10% of its overall staff. It doesn’t make me happy to be right, but the writing is clearly on the wall. I just hope...

I dumped every share I had in this company over two years ago, and honestly, I haven’t looked back. I’ve only been in a Target store a few times since, and every time I walk through the doors, I’m hit with the same feeling: I made the right call. The guest experience is pure garbage, and the...

Inside Target, Frustrated Employees and Search for New CEO Retailer, needing to revive sales and boost morale, looks for its next leader https://archive.is/ZnTOG Interesting article I saw in the Wall Street Journal. Figured many of you may want to read it.

Why was my post merged with the original thread? I intended it to be a dedicated memorial. Combining it with the earlier thread, especially one that includes speculation about his absence and comments from someone who didn’t even like him, feels deeply inappropriate. It sours the memory...

This is incredibly hard to write. I recently came across a post asking about Peter and I wasn’t sure how to respond. I hesitated, hoping for better news. But today, I found his obituary, and my heart sank. Peter was more than just a volunteer moderator in The Break Room. He was a deeply...

I've completely stopped frequenting Target. My last significant purchase there was when I needed specialty GE light bulbs for my refrigerator, which only Target carried. That was nearly seven months ago. When comparing the experiences between generations, Gen-X and Gen-Z, at Target, the...

Well... I can tell you this much. It's a legitimate Target Coupon. If you want my opinion, I think someone received a paper coupon, and re-created it into a mobile Q. At the very least, Target may actually get reimbursed for it. If it starts with 9856, It's a Target issued Store Coupon...

That is so bizarre. The reason I mention this -- is when we file a Internal Theft Report, the Team Members information gets automatically added into something called TRE (The Retail Equation) which maintains a database. They also hold onto information of shoplifters we've apprehended and the...

AP either lied or more likely didn’t know. You will have extreme difficulty getting a job at any other big box store. Your name will be entered into a database that is used in employee screening.

I was genuinely curious after you mentioned it, it was a Target scholarship program. At the time, Target was heavily promoting their giving back to schools incentive, so it was probably a easy check to write. CFDA Scholarship Program The Scholarship Program was created to award annual...
