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.

    I have to go one more time, to use a $10 gift card I won in a trivia contest. I’m trying to think of something that won’t help them, like items from the clearance rack that have no profit.

      They have already recived the money for a gift card. No need to shop the clearance rack. Buy the best value you can with that $10 gift card and walk away at peace!

        Taking their clearance items, something they are trying to get rid of anyway, would actually help them out.
