I've been trying to figure out how much "time off" I should use to align my salary with that of worthless directors. About 1 day a week is what I've come up with.

Things can't be that bad
Target can't be in that bad of a shape if we are opening 35 new stores while nearly everybody else is closing theirs left and right and we are bidding for some Toys R Us stores. I understand some people don't like working here, but frankly, I'm happy... — read more

Thoughts on Shipt deal?
Anybody thinks this Shipt deal will be a catalyst for more layoffs? The deal focuses on online ordering, which means that fewer people will be coming to the store thanks to this. Which, of course, will give those at the top some ideas. After all, you... — read more
