Sometimes Target corporate employee's are nice people-kind, friendly and outgoing. Most of them seem nice in the beginning. Then you start to sense that many of them
have this sort of clone mentality. Everyone is a bit snobby, a little too preppy, everyone talks in memes and wears khakis and plaid shirts. If you had any other life experience
different than middle class family with stable upbringing, graduation, college, graduation, job, - maybe you went through poverty, abuse, a few decades of hell in your life- while working your ass off to get you out of poverty. You start to notice that people act like clones and the weight of your life experience makes it hard to close your eyes to the subtle shallowness and icy cold in the smart hip peoples eyes. At Corporate Target people are disposable and ruthlessly let go, often because of reasons that were manipulated to suit whoever wanted them gone....people talk about how so and so should get fired, and people are gossiping a lot. The employee's just don't matter much. Its the bottom line, the competition that matters. Fairness- meh. Looking for ways to build people up when they are doing there best but struggling- meh. Some employee's are kind and some are not at Target. But Target Corporate is a jungle that you have to watch your ass no matter how smart or far up you may be. Getting let go as I was- and not given a reason is hard- when a lot of effort was put in to get in. You always want to be with the "cool people" and don't really believe they are the soul sucking corporate people you were warned about until they personally ice you out. The worst part is knowing that after years of preparation and sacrifice a few seconds and a snap decision and now whenever I go to Target- I have to remember that I was let go- and I don't even know why- they would not tell me. I mean Target is everywhere- everyone loves target.....and I have to shop there the rest of my life. I suppose I could be dead and that would be worse than the stigma. I can still start a new life.
