Target sales decline 3% with billions in revenue lost. Forbes points to Black people driven boycotts related to anti- DEI

Plenty of $17/hour jobs out there.

People making $15-$25 per hour have infinite job opportunities.

It’s the rest of us that really need our jobs.

Try telling that to the hourly worker who lives paycheck to paycheck and just got fired.

They don’t give af about the job down the street that pays a dollar more. It’ll take them 2 weeks MINIMUM to work a single hour at another job, let alone paid. And that’s 2 weeks you don’t have money for.

What magical job do you work that makes you so much more important than a Target worker?

Arguing against boycotting a racist business in here you dudes are really unserious

This is literally the worst part. And Target is not the only place laying people off in anticipation of customers backing off of purchasing. Target is gonna lay some folks off and cut the shyt out of general hours. Great for hitting their bottom line but if people are being real, there aren't really alternatives that aren't just another big corporation.

I said it in another thread. This isn’t the 90s when Target was full of white women working. This boycott was wrong and will hurt black families way before Target.

Y'all act like the jobs Black folks have at Target are niche and hard to find. Those jobs are a dime a dozen and those skills are transferable. We don't have to support a company to feed the hypothetical Black folks who may be fired. And we never come up with this many tired excuses when we critique Black businesses. Those Black Target workers will be alright.

WHERE'S THE SMOKE FOR WAL-MART! THEY WERE ONE OF THE FIRST ONES TO ELIMINATE THEIR DEI PROGRAM AND FUNDING!

They have different audiences.
Walmart gets most of it sales from rednecks. They sell confederate flag t-shirts and shyt.
Target was known for its DEI programs and having black owned products,
Remember sometime past cacs wanted boycott target for having LGBT products
For them to make a complete 180 was a bigger deal than walmart who was never considered an ally in the first place.

I was at an event where Jassy was supposed be there yesterday. He didn't show but there was a slight chance I would have met him.

I had every intention of telling him how disappointed I was with Amazon rolling back DEI. I rehearsed it and everything.

There is nothing "wrong" about standing up for what is right. Target is under staffed like a motherfukker. If you actually listen what the employees are staying, they support it.

Ya'll always have an excuse.
