One thing runs through every single post here, and that's complete frustration with the entitled sorority sisters that are pervasive at TGT. You're at f***ing work, wear something appropriate. Just because you are on trend doesn't mean you wear jeans... — read more

Who will it be

Raise your hand if 1 in 6 people you know at target don't do sh!t! Those are the people I'm hoping are let go next week. Heaven help us if we end up getting rid of good people and keeping the ones dragging us down. I'm guessing it will be a mix.

No way you could get rid of BAs just yet
