Ain't heard sh*t of any importance from McNamara in a month.....wtf
Get your shi*t together Mike, we should be hearing from you almost daily....nothing more important than keeping the team up to speed during a major transformation. If you are counting on lame ass VPs to do this, you've failed.

Time for Target to merge with Walmart
There is no longer room for two major brick and mortar discounters to compete with Amazon and future on-line competition. Combine forces and you have a chance, otherwise keep canabalizing each other at their gain and your demise.
Employees Are Mid Term Low Paid Contractors - When Projects are done they are left to find another on their Own or Will be Laid-Off in upcoming.
Heard and Learnt...Thoughts ?
REALLY, Cornell has time on his hands to devote to YUM Brands.....
What happened to Target before team or me. Apparently BC thinks Tgt does not require his full attention any longer. Beginning of the end for Target, BC is already hedging his bets. Every man for themselves now.
Now that FNM is over....
Layoffs resume? That's totally Bryan's plan. Get everyone all happy and then shit all over us.

Speak it foward
No more great team card just pick a fis fit animal to match up,.. Zombies now misfit animals. Who in the hezzz thinks this bad stuff up. I agree our ads suck too
If MM told BC that TTS was going to be 100% agile he should be fired....
and then every TTS VP that can't show BC how exactly (not just that they changed everyone's job title) how each person is engaged in agile process....fire them too. This is classic Target....see if you can outlast current fad long enough to keep team... — read more

Target ends education funding
Kids and families are yesterday's news. "Wellness" is where it's at! Target hasn't decided what wellness means yet, but the consultants thought it sounded good. Who needs kids when you've got organic okra to sell the childless hipsters?!?!
EDSO....
Did Simon just describe everything wrong with Target in 60 minutes? Yes he did and that includes current leadership.
