Target CEO out

NEW YORK (AP) — Target's massive data breach has now cost the company's CEO his job.

Target announced Monday that Chairman, President and CEO Gregg Steinhafel is out nearly five months after the retailer disclosed the breach, which has hurt its reputation among customers and has derailed its business.

The nation's third-largest retailer said Steinhafel, a 35-year veteran of the company and CEO since 2008, has agreed to step down, effective immediately. He also resigned from the board of directors.

I doubt there's a lot of laughing. Nobody, regardless of how they are paid, likes to be "encouraged" out the door. Although if the proverbial door is to hit his backside ... I'm sure the blow will be softened by the wad of cash.

Target paid him $23 million in 2010, $19 million in 2011, and $21 million in 2012 so the $9 million severance pay is actually not a lot of money for him.

He's done, set for life, he and his family, and probably next 3 generations. For the rest of us: CLOCK IN, CLOCK OUT til you die
