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?!?!

Did Simon just describe everything wrong with Target in 60 minutes? Yes he did and that includes current leadership.

Just seen the latest round of target adverts on TV. UGH OMG... a drunk teenager could do better.

US Bank is laying off people weekly as well! Friday is always the day for US Bank. They are trying to do small numbers each week to stay out of the media. Not much of a package either. 90 days is all.

There is no strategy behind layoffs. All idiot managers still in target. Mike you cheap
