Thread regarding Target Corp. layoffs

Fall National/Target Together

As if this approach to layoffs wasn’t bad enough, anyone else reflecting on all the attempted “feel good” moments at this year’s fall National and feeling even more betrayed? BC getting emotional about stepping down, humanizing Fiddelke interviewing his children and pushing the family man that he is, the constant preaching of bringing joy to all families, holiday magic, smiles, excitement, team target etc etc etc meanwhile, some of them knew this was around the corner?! I realize working in corporate America you have to have to be cold and manipulative to some extent because at the end of the day it truly is about the bottom line, but I can’t help but question how some of the leaders of this company could stand in front of us all with such happy & cheery faces knowing they were going to kick off the holiday season with mass layoffs.

Don’t need people commenting about their salaries and bonuses as to how they were able to do that. Obviously. Sometimes I just like to think they’re more human than they clearly are.

Flacid National was feeling pretty limp this year

“happy & cheery faces” - no, no. Those were heavily filled and unmoving faces because they all got their ‘tox too close to Fall National.

Remember leaders, get your Botox in early August next year so we can see your eyebrows move at Fall National when you’re lying to us.

Remember Hoda’s speech and how she opened with how our work isn’t tied to our identity, etc?

I understood the sentiment, but it felt a bit cringey to me bc many people from my former team had recently been laid off and there had been multiple quiet layoffs over the summer.

But thinking about it now, it seems like that speech might have been planned knowing this had been in the works for months.
