Brian Cornell to be replaced next year as retailer navigates boycott over its scaling back of DEI initiatives
The CEO of Target is stepping down, as the embattled retail giant seeks to turn around its fortunes amid an ongoing customer boycott over its scaling back of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives.
Brian Cornell will be replaced next year by Michael Fiddelke, Target’s chief operating officer, the company said on Wednesday.
I’m in an area where target barely exists. Yesterday I was driving through a small town I’ve never been to. And there was a target. I thought “Wow a target! I have a gift card!”.
Then I drove past it because I didn’t want to deal with their bullshit.
Use it to buy a gift card at another store.
Use your gift card but no more. No need to give them free $
I’ll use it eventually when I’m mentally prepared for the disappointment that comes with shopping at that place.
Just use it asap. There’s a reason companies love people buying gift cards. They’re basically interest free loans until people spend them and like 5% are either lost, forgotten about, or never spent at all which translates into free money for them.
They or the card company are making more money this way.
