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.
Who would have thought disrespecting your customers would drive them away?
There’s nothing quite like the wrath of a pissed-off soccer mom—except for the wrath of a few million pissed-off soccer moms all working together to boycott your company.
He’s on the board now and that’s basically a promotion - no real change here. Fuck target.
Go woke go broke??? :'(
Lol spit in the face of the individuals and employees that made you great, then wonder why sales are down…
Go woke go broke??? :'(
Yeah, the term is really idiotic. Out of the many right wing propaganda, that one never stuck, thankfully.
According to survey, the vast majority of Americans still believe in diversity. It is only the tiny miniscule of loud minority who keep harping as if “go woke go broke” it’s a popular sentiment, when in reality it’s not.
But don’t be complacent and think Americans would never turn around from believing in diversity. If all eligible voters of Americans turned up on the election, only 30% voted for Trump. A similar amount of minority of eligible voters elected Hitler and the Nazis. It was only with sustained propaganda once the Nazis became firmly in control of the government that the Germans became steeped in the cult of group think, and forgot any semblance of humanity. With Project 2025, indoctrinating Americans is part of a similar agenda.
Edit: wording
And yet, knowing these facts, many idealists on this site still bleat about sitting out at election time because both candidates are capitalists.
And if they’re reading this: Yes, you’re virtually useless idealists.
Yay, uplifting post.
Last time I was in a Target they literally had nothing for me to buy. Just aisles of useless merch. Ended up getting a drink because I was thirsty and that was it.
No Xbox games, old PS5/Switch games, horrible book section, no movies to speak of, no decent olive oil… Just a bad scene.
It’s like they aren’t competing with Walmart or Kroger anymore and are just trying to be a super sized 7-11.
What, you don’t want cheap Chinese plastic junk from the “Dollar Spot” that’s just going to end up in the garbage anyway?
I can’t tell if I aged out of the targeted men’s clothing demographic or if they shifted targets to SoCal/Bohemian semi-casual but I’ve just felt so lost the last few years trying to find their plain tee shirts
I spend more but get better quality at Duluth Trading.
The root of my struggle is I want V-necks. I’m not seeing any at Duluth. The Target selection always seems to be narrowed down to 6 V-necks (total) in colors that aren’t me. Kohls has done better recently
Yeah, the V-Neck looks super shallow, more like a “U” Neck:

Should have looked closer at those customer demographics.
Original post was removed because I accidentally created an image post instead of one linking to the actual article. My bad.
I’ll let it slide ( ≖_≖) …this time.
I appreciate your understanding.
Oh no… Anyway
Execute all the CEOs
Cucked himself out to Trump all just to step down from his position
I hope people never step foot in there at all anymore. They should be an example at this point.
To paraphrase some guy I met on a carriage ride the other day: Hey you. You’re finally a woke.
😂
