Everyday employees less valuable than shareholders and C-suite, new norm at TGT.
Unlike the Salesforce CEO who just came out and indicated his employees are number 1 priority, target leadership has put a bullseye on it's employee's back. Stock buybacks and dividend increases demonstrate where priority is.

I feel sorry for the Admins that are left
Your workload just doubled for the same rate of pay you now receive. Target culture is not what it used to be. Throw the koolaid out, there are much tastier drinks on the market.

I've heard some departments are hiring soon in the midst of a 2-years lay-off plan? Out with the old and higher paid employees and In with the cheaper new employees? Just my one cent. What do others think of this conundrum?
