I agreed. Less office politics, more quality work. In the past, I've seen managers gang up on productive TMs for no other reason than they didn't like her, even though she's fabulous with the customers, so sad that "some Target managers" use their positions as their own fiefdom and forget the "bottom line.." It's a business, support your best workers, and leave "your own personal feelings about the TMs" out of it....it's silly that it happens too often in many corporate settings, including Target. Sad all around.
There are still a lot of high paid TTS-ers that add little or no value to the business. They spend their days in meetings, some of them just throwing out buzzwords but in the end really don't have a clue. If you want to save money get rid of that dead weight. The problem is they have the VP's fooled. You need a leadership that can call a spade a spade and until you do, you will have non starters making top dollar when you could have fewer self starters and really attempt to beat your competitors.

I hope you don't think you are entitled to a job just because of your face? This is a business, and as a business MONEY is the ONLY important thing. This corporate trend will continue until they hire the lowest paid people in the planet and hire the smallest amount of resources. Walmart anyone? No wonder Costco already ate Target's lunch. So bottom line: you are not entitled to your job. This is not 1940.
And they took our jobs to save $2B for digital, but they have spare change of $10B to buy back more shares from the market. Why not invest these $10B in digital and spared our jobs!!!!!
