Thread regarding Target Corp. layoffs

Years of DEI is catching up to Target

Target tech and product is cooked.

If fidelky thinks he’s going to get anything out his tech team, he’s stoned out of his mind. (I spelled his name wrong - it’s not worth the time spelling it right)

This is the most reactionary/pedestrian group of senior leaders ever assembled. And if you add to that the layer of DEI VPs over the last 8 years, you will get leaders who monitor sprint metrics while the place burns down around them.

Glad that I landed a new job outside Target -staying at target is worse than getting laid off. It’s a complete clown show funded by a bunch of ignorant stock holders and board. good luck all - use Christmas to reassess your career.

@5na It sure is. I would not recommend TGT HQ if you are new to the company and over 40; or even over 50. Move on.

its a very ageist culture. A toxic place with a smiley face.

@jb Just wait until you’re over 45. No matter what you look like, you are too old. If it’s not one thing it’s another.

@j1 when you have a diversity quota to hit, men aren’t included unless they check a box that makes them “oppressed”.

@dv the problem is men are excluded from DEI initiatives unless they’re g-y or black/hispanic. White men in particular are by definition not diverse in a DEI context.

I’m so tired of this accusation going around that Target is heavily invested in DEI when it seems 80% of the company is run by women. White women at that. I may be exaggerating the numbers here, but this has to be the most female presence I’ve ever seen at any company I’ve ever worked at. And it makes sense; it’s a fashion-leaning retailer. But we desperately NEEDED diversity initiatives to balance things out a bit. Call it what you want, but representation matters, especially if you’re developing products and assortments to attract BIPOC and Men to be honest.

Then the company wonders why underrepresented groups don’t stick around too long.
