CEO Brian Cornell Resigned

[Florida Dawg]

Been seeing on social media that longtime CEO Brian Cornell has resigned. Not surprised. Company was going to shit since Covid and I’ve seen it get worse myself and I worked for Target from April 2020-June 2022. It was getting worse since 2021 and the way they handled issues from seasonal merchandise to business decisions and how their stores should be ran for management has caused boycotts, lost of a lot of revenue and even a big loss of employees because they don’t get enough hours already and managers as well as corporate give out alot of unrealistic expectations. Seems like there’s a lot of panic in the company right now. If I was y’all, I’d quit and find another kind of business to work for or go to another retail company. Just thought I’d share but I been predicting things to go bad eventually and seems like Brian Cornell was pressured into resigning and has HQ in a very sour mood overall.

He's leaving at the end of his contract and getting a cushy gig as Chairman of the Board as a retirement bonus. So not really resigning.

He’s still resigning as CEO, I’m aware he’s staying and it’ll be a position that still closely works with the CEO but he isn’t gonna be CEO anymore and seemed like a lot was going on amongst the people at HQ.

No changes in direction... just more pain ,and suffering for those who remain. Can see all small format stores closing tbh.

You worked during Covid which was awful. The worst years I’ve spent with Target were the COVID years. Things are definitely better now. My store has not lost many employees. The only ones leaving recently are the college kids. I’m not super worried. I say give the new guy a chance if things get worse than quit.

My store is not that bad. No pain and suffering from me.

No way in hell I'm quitting, my store is amazing.

Terrible advice in general to give to a group of people as you have no idea what their store culture is like. Just because yours was terrible several years ago, doesn't mean it's still the same, or the same for everyone on this forum.
