In August 2014, Cornell replaced Gregg Steinhafel as the chairman and CEO of Target.[4] During his tenure, Cornell shut down the loss-incurring Target Canada.[1] Cornell occasionally visits Target stores and asks guests about their shopping experiences.[1] As CEO, Cornell has been featured by news outlets such as CNN, which described him as Target's "ace CEO" and crediting him with the business' strong growth in the 2010s.[9] In 2019, Cornell was named CNN's "Business CEO of the Year".
In 2021, Cornell publicly stated his commitment to programs at Target to support diversity, equity and inclusion following the murder of George Floyd by police in Minneapolis. He said "I recognize that it's time to take it to another level, and that as CEOs, we have to be the company's head of diversity and inclusion."[11]
Cornell was honored with "The Visionary" award by the National Retail Federation for 2022, given each year to "an outstanding retail industry leader."[12]
In 2022, Target announced that their board of directors had eliminated the company's mandatory retirement policy that would have forced the CEO to retire at age 65.[13]
In 2023, Cornell's total compensation at Target was $18.1 million.[14] He earned a higher annual bonus due to the company's improved profits, although his overall compensation dropped.[14] In 2024, Cornell's total compensation at Target was $9.9 million, which was 45% lower than his 2023 compensation and 87% lower than his 2020 compensation of $77.5 million.[
I like to go in Target with the kids. As we walk around we bash all the woke stuff and woke staff. If they go out of business it would be a shame. I liken it to taking the kids to the zoo, but it is free. Then occasionally they have some really good discounts on electronics.
In 2020'ish we made fun of the rainbow stuff and another customer would stare at me like I was a criminal.. That is about when I realized it is fun to speak about stuff in public with the kids.
because of Target I carry this on when we are in the movie theatre, mall, grocery store. It is like reverse mocking. We deal with mocking bird BS, but when we do it back to them they get short circuited. The best practice in my opinion is to always stay calm and smile.
Lefties are absolutely convinced that the majority population is LGBT, and that there is a tremendous pent-up desire for products that specifically target homosexuals. They surround themselves with others who think like them, and they sincerely believe that their circle of Woke compatriots is representative of the American pubic as a whole.
This dude … what’s it been, a decade of woke nonsense, where he was one of the vanguard leaders?
Why, even? What was this scumbag after?
The stuff they’ve pushed at children in that store, for over a decade…. And parents still casually went in there all the time as if nothing was happening!!
No more $8,000 an hour job? How ever will he survive?!

Never thought about this direction. Here’s another - spanx worn as dailywear in public.
The DEI folks on X think he's stepping down because Target reversed course on DEI/LGB+. 🙄
But he’ll take millions with him. What a struggle he’ll have.
He doesn't seem to have the pedo look to him.
I guess he's just a traditional moron.

Case in point: The American publishing industry.

Finally, now maybe Target will be run with some sense (as I hope this guy is not a Liberal also) so I can finally go back and shop there.
The COO Took the reigns. New boss, same as the old boss.
Go woke.
Go broke.
