What do people think about the fact that we still allow all International travel to be Business Class at this pt in time. Many tickets are close to $6K or more per tkt while people are going to be laid-off?

Honestly I have a lot of work to do, but how the heck am I supposed to concentrate when this chaos is going on...seems redicioulous to work so hard if the end result is I might just get laid off anyways. I think I may take up some of these "coffees"... — read more

I heard the United way has to disband because it's funding source is being downsized.

Even if many of us don't get the ax next week doesn't mean we don't get caught up in the next wave. It's a pins and needles effect and it feels like we are holding our breath for the next time. How can you live like that? Do you buy that car that you... — read more

When I came to target I was amazed at the youth in this company. Then I realized that there was a decent population of folks who did nothing but market themselves through "coffee" / "developmental" statuses. You could become a director if you were an... — read more 

The recent announcement that Target’s strategic focus will be in apparel, home, beauty and “localized” offerings is a repeat of strategies, some dating back to the mid-1990’s, that lost their way over the recent years. For those of us who have a... — read more

Heard Target is utilizing Hot or Not to determine the layoffs.
