TTS
Anyone working in TTS that says they are satisfied is lying. Not a day goes by I don't wish I was somewhere else, but circumstances leave me trapped. I said everything is great on BTS, don't want the uppities to get p-ss-d off.

Appropriate compensation
I've been trying to figure out how much "time off" I should use to align my salary with that of worthless directors. About 1 day a week is what I've come up with.

Things can't be that bad

News media all over it. What great PR
Thoughts on Shipt deal?
Anybody thinks this Shipt deal will be a catalyst for more layoffs? The deal focuses on online ordering, which means that fewer people will be coming to the store thanks to this. Which, of course, will give those at the top some ideas. After all, you... — read more

Couseling out many employees
Target isn't going to do an official layoff. They are managing out many employees now to be able to hire college grads. Unless you're on the list, and you'd probably know by now, don't worry about it.
Anyone here notice how target is horrible for women?
I keep getting told by my boss I'm not nice, and we have a culture of nice. If I ask if I've hurt anyone or done something wrong, I get told it is not about doing, it's about the personality, that I'm aggressive and go getter and it offends others... — read more
