Target--no way here, either

I stopped shopping at Target years ago after I learned that they quit allowing the Salvation Army bell ringers in front of their MANY stores. I may be a small consumer, but it's not just me (family as well), so each person makes a difference when it's all added up.

Also, doing a little research on different companies can be well worth the time. If/when I learn that the owner/board of directors, etc. supports abortions (can we say Planned Parenthood?), my conscience won't allow me to shop there. And I've never even had children!

Excellent subject matter.

Thanks!

I think TT is right on target
Am I the only one who was there when the old COO was there? Never ever ran out of work. Called all the time and asked to pitch in and help get back in TAT. When the new person, who shall remain nameless, came on board, things started downhill and continued downhill. Might be interesting to check out her previous credentials. In order to see where you are going it is usually helpful to see where you've been or I should say where the person in question has been. That's been 5 or so years ago so I wonder how many MTs have been there back to those days when TT really was the best. They have had low/no work for well over a year, more like 2 so I don't know why anyone would think it would get better.

It's okay, I shop at Target enough

to make up for you and probably 3 other people boycotting.

I did hear about the Salvation Army thing but honestly, I agreed with their stance on it.

You're on target, but . . . . .

the problem is that India's educated population, which is about 20% of their total population equals almost the United States ENTIRE population.

India has over one billion people. 20% of that is 200 million. The United States ENTIRE population is only 300 million.

So, yes, they're getting more expensive, but they have a much bigger non educated labor pool to pull from and educate.

Very intelligent post, and right on target! nm

Your character core is right on target.
Of course, we all know to worry when a company we work for starts employing people to spout this meaningless BS. Bast#rds.
