Thread regarding Target Corp. layoffs

Senior Humanity Specialist

Brian Cornell has shown his true colors. Slash and burn regardless of individuals' ability. A lot of the people cast off today are among the best leaders we have....had. The heartless way in which this is being executed indicates BC isn't interested in people very much,not even the ones left behind and how they stay engaged through change.

Quote from Bryan at a meeting with high level leadership. "1/3 of you 'get it', 1/3 of you are starting to get it and 1/3 of you will not be at the next meeting."

Whoa tough talk BC! Not much in the courage category, but you win in terms of getting what you and shareholders want from your org through fear and intimidation

This guy has no heart and his designs will fail because truly talented people will not follow out of fear. So then what? He's soulless, but not stupid.

Merger with Amazon. Web presence plus In store brand affinity maybe? Let's make lots of money. Great vision.

Tomorrow we will learn more about our fate and how it will impact our families...our lives. Let's not call that difficult from a company perspective Brian. Let's give some respect to the people whose lives will be turned upside down and say that the company's difficulty and your personal difficulty pale in comparison.

This sounds like what happened at Capella University a few years ago. Their CEO is a real clown. Morale never recovered, and it used to consistently make the top 10 places to work in the Twin Cities. Not anymore... Target will be lucky to attract the scrapings on the bottom of someone's shoe in terms of talent after this.

He will continue doing this, too.

The guy is a stockholder pleaser and when his pockets are full, he moves to the next failing company and does the same butcher job.

The guy makes a living laying people off. He has not a piece of innovation in his bones hes just the guy who eliminates jobs to raise the stock price.
