New York — Target CEO Brian Cornell is stepping down after 11 years at the retailer, as the company faces slumping sales and backlash to its retreat on DEI.

But Target has been in a deep slump for years, a result largely of its own strategic missteps. The company has struggled as customers have purchased less of its home goods and clothing. Target has also faced intense competition from Walmart, Amazon and Costco.

Target on Wednesday reported sales fell for the third-straight quarter. Shares fell 10% in premarket trading. Target’s (TGT) stock is among the worst performing companies in the S&P 500 this year.

Go woke or go BROKE. 

And same. I have spent a total of $40 in Target this year and this is ONLY because I absolutely couldn’t find the items I bought anywhere else and actually needed them. 

They won’t see a dollar from me unless absolutely necessary and I used to shop there.

Protest works y'all. What a lot of people don't realize is that they do take awhile, but it's worth it. Keep protesting. Him stepping down isn't enough. Protest until the open-minded policies return.
