Target lays off over 400 workers at headquarters, Target CEO gets a big fat bonus

[annm4peace]

The news today of layoffs at Target headquarters in Minneapolis is a clear example of our broken system. CEO pay goes up while workers lose their jobs to outsourcing or rich corporations expanding their use of sub-contracting (i.e the same jobs with less pay and benefits).

1. CEO = a new class of criminal.

2. Maybe this could be printed off on card stock and

make into postcards to send to the Board of Directors of Target. Mine will say I am boycotting Target. They can 1st reduce the CEO's compensation instead of laying off more workers.

5. Crap. Target is going the way of Walmart where the company is just a greedy operation to make a few

people rich, keep the workers poor, and consumers like cattle. One more place to not shop at. Just disgusting how these executives feel justified in stealing our livelihoods and abusing workers overseas.

8. And produce people on Welfare and Medicaid for the rest of us to pay for.

Just imagine how much money they save by paying low enough wages and keeping hours to the minimum so they don't have to pay insurance.

7. They cut 150 in Oct and are also leaving over 700 open positions unfilled.

Also notable that the biggest hits were in technology services.

Given the data breach, I'd like to know more about that.

9. can this be reframe in terms of cyber-security?

Certainly some of the lay offs meant that the attention of employees was diverted toward shifting jobs out of country.

10. They are probably outsourcing cyber-security to Prince Alyusi Islassis

notable e-mail con man.
