Yes, yes I work for Walmart. But if you put on this tin foil hat it will prevent Walmart and Coke from buying out Target.
Dear Anonymous69703: Do you secretly work for Walmart?
You actually right on that it got elimnated. Your luke a efing psychic
Re: Anonymous69696 Good for you. But your department has been identified as the first to go. Hope you love grits.
I'll believe ya when my s$&@ turns purple and smells like rainbow sherbert
You are right Anonymous69657: It's "coke" But in the upper midwest, if somebody says can I buy you a coke, the meaning gets all f***ed up. Look, you will either move to Atlanta to be part of the new "coke" empire, or you will stay in Mpls and shovel snow. It's up to you.
Coca Cola Market Cap $180B, Target Market Cap $50B - yet, why in the world would they do this, outside of Coke's competency 1000%
Lol...why do I have a hard time believing an "insider" who calls it "Coke a Cola"...
Anonymous69619: Coke to acquire Target mid August 2015. Take care.
Delta to acquire Target and replace the Skymall catalog with Target circulars. New store concept - put a mini-Target in all major airports. I can order merch on-line or in my departing airport and pick it up in my arrival airport. Yowza, I have an idea I can sell to the Board !
Coke a Cola, based in Atlanta, to acquire Target.
Dear Anonymous69579: No Home Depot is not involved. Bigger.
Home Depot to acquire Target?
Anonymous69536: Georgia legislature passed a special excemption that allows corporations to write off tactical and employee moves as tax deductions. That exemption expires in 2019. Georgia will be working its ass off to get as many corporations to move before 2019.
Interesting. Who pays for the employee to relocate? Are TMs covering that our of their own pocket? Are packages being offered by pay grade? What's the deal?
Northwest Airlines moved to Atlanta and became Delta. Target employees will start receiving relocation notices later this year, starting in August. Target will save approximately $500 million per year by having its HQ in Atlanta. Those workers that don't want to move by August of 2015, will be replaced. There are more than enough talented workers in Atlanta. You don't need to worry about that.
Georgia has corporate tax. What are you talking about? Troll.....?
So are they going to relocate 10,000+ employees or just fire everyone and "start fresh" with a new workforce? They will lose about half the workforce just because people won't want to, or be able to move.
reply to Anonymous69521: No Corporate Tax. No Employer share of FICA tax. Fresh Start.
That's a good one. Why would that happen? Just because?
