Shocking: Target Raised Wages to $15, Cut Employee Hours

It’s almost as if this had been predicted or something.
“We knew we couldn’t operate the stores anymore in the same fashion we had for the last 20, 30 years,” Target COO John Mulligan told CNN Business in an interview for this story. “We needed to change the way we operate in the store to create a better, more inviting experience for our guests.”
Mary Chastain at Legal Insurrection does a nice job peeling this onion as she delves into employee testimonies, market forces, plus brick-n-mortor VS online shopping. Give it a read.

Yet, in our brave new oh-so woke world - whose epicenter might just be California - this woeful quote left me bewildered:
“Lee Beecher, who works at a Target in California, complained about how his hours “fluctuate a lot” and said “[I]t’s not fair.””
Uh, I’m confused about this whole ‘fair / not fair’ thing. Simply self-identify as a full time employee and there’ll be more dollars in your paycheck.

What’s the problem?

Thank Trump, in this booming economy, employers are desperate for warm bodies to fill positions, so happy job hunting, young man woman (insert your gender self-identification unit here)!
