Thread regarding Target Corp. layoffs

Target is the biggest loser in Retail!

Target again has let their shareholders down. Stock price closing barely above $63 today. This of course means Target will again break promises made to its team members with layoffs. It's not a matter of if but when. The executive leadership team needs to be held accountable and not by laying off team members but by losing bonuses or being terminated themselves.

Why would anyone shop at Target anymore? Amazon is the same or better prices and your purchase is delivered to your door. In addition there is no problem getting what you want due it being out of stock.

If you decide to shop at Target you are crossing your fingers that merch is instock and if it's there will likely pay more than Amazon and Walmart. If you decide you want to shop Target.com, you will have to tell with a buggy and cumbersome shopping experience. Compare this to Amazon.com and Target loses again! Any way you slice it Target is in big trouble!

Clearly Target technology needs the most help. Target does not know how to be a technology leader in Retail and under Mike M will never get there. Mike has a horrible reputation with the team and tech that he left in shambles across the pond. He clearly lacks an understanding of what makes Target great and will continue a drive a losing vision into the ground until it's too late.

Mike, it's time for you to go home!

Target should not have become political....plain and simple. It is going to cost us all, our jobs and livelihood! Target needs to stick to selling products!

Previous post...are you kidding? Wrong time, no value? Nice try in defusing a very real situation. The initial post is nothing but the truth. There is no definate strategy that will add value. As far as TTS is concerned, they are worlds behind the competition and the leaders within the space and their dictator approach in how things were done across seas will not work at Target. Target is a different beast with much more complexity, competition and lack of speed of innovation to market. We have fallen behind the competition and stock prices reflect the confidence in future state. Good luck to you all, but the facts tell me it is time to get out if you are still at Target. On a side note, if you are a shareholder you better sell fast.

I have NO idea why we're pursuing this - wrong time, wrong reasons, no value.

there is no strategy:

"Instead, Target plans to introduce mobile payment features to one or more of its own apps, the retailer’s Chief Information and Digital Officer Michael McNamara told Recode last week at a National Retail Federation conference in New York City."

how much are executives getting paid to fight a losing battle against a tidal wave and to what benefit and cost? CurrentC tried to do that with the backings of the retail consortium only to get shutdown because there is no market for it. target really thinks they have enough sway to redefine the market place with their own proprietary pay system when they don't even have a decent website and a mobile app?

TIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBEEEEEEEEEEEER
