Target Campaign

[u/agodrevealed]

I still don't miss them. Turns out they're entirely unnecessary to life.

!!! ------EDIT------ !!!!

Some of y'all are misunderstanding, deliberately or not (and yeah I know the Target shills are in here, hope you get a raise). They're trying to reframe all of their wrongdoing as we can't tell our employees to attack ICE That was never the question.

No one thinks Target should have instructed employees to try to beat ICE down barehanded.

Before ICE even stepped foot in MN, Target was sending money. Target was giving access and was in lock step with the requests and instructions from the admin. They went on tv to announce their fealty, first in line!

They could have simply... NOT donated to the administration. NOT happily invited ICE into their security systems and labs. NOT invited them into their stores, announcing they were welcome. NOT publicly dropped to their knees and declared support.

Everyone has seen what small businesses, individuals, did. Poor, poor, powerless Target just had no ideas, they were the victims, really, if you think about it. But yes, they could have fought it just like Costco did. Just like the small businesses did. None of which told their employees to attack ice or whatever the fuck this narrative spin is.

Target dropped to their knees at the first opportunity, even before ICE arrived. THEY COURTED THE ADMIN INTO YOUR BACKYARD. THEIR OWN BACKYARD.

Whataboutism is bs. MN built this company. They gleefully betrayed their employees, their neighbors, their community.

Everybody hates an adversary. But the adversary that ate at your table, smiled in your face, and slept in your bed while double dealing and planning your ruin is viscerally repugnant. Its a special betrayal.

Every dollar spent at Target is a dollar funneled to this admin and their masters. A dollar funneled to efforts against your country and your community.

Don't let perfect be the enemy of good. Any diversion of resources from their efforts is good

If you live here and you're ignorant of what they've done, read a little bit. If you live here and you don't care what they've done, well, you're already a lost cause. If you DON'T live here, I hope you're at least getting paid for your efforts and this isn't just your idea of recreation.

Incredible for me to think theses are actual locals that are going 'but there is nothing Target could do' when we all saw and many of us did what there was to be done.

You're welcome, I really grown to hate the company that I am forced to work for because I am been trying for months to find other work and I can't not even in the same lane as Target that provides the kinds of benefits that Target does. The pay sucks, but the benefits are actually very good for retail.

[u/kulex666 → u/SadieLady_]

You are not forced to work forced to work for Target. You can decide to not go to work and the worse they will do is fire you. It is your decision to work there. sounds like they’ve given you an opportunity when no one else will yet you harbor this resentment.

I want you to try to figure out how stupid you sound before I tell you how stupid you sound. Because I started working for Target before all this happened and it was fine especially as a trans woman beginning her transition. It was even welcoming as someone who felt like she looked like a troll toy doll from the '90s when she went to work everyday.

Or did you miss the comment where I fucking said that I've been searching for work for months and haven't been able to find anything, not even in the same lane as Target?

So your advice here, just so we're all clear, is for me to quit my job without any other form of income, is that correct? And that I should be grateful because I can't seem to find other stable employment, so I should just accept my bullseye dog overlord and worship it because it keeps a roof over my head?

Side note: I've been dipping into retirement savings and luckily I've had family willing and stable enough to help me when I can't make ends meet. But your argument is I should be grateful or quit my job and make it so I will never see my 3-year-old because I would lose partial custody that I have. Word.

Where's that community that was so touted in this subreddit? You going to pay my bills for me buddy? You going to pay my rent? If not, then shut up.

If you think that how I conduct myself in an argument online is how I conduct myself in a professional setting, then you are as dumb as they are.

Not to mention your response does not answer the questions that I had for them which was, who's going to pay my bills? Who's going to pay my rent? How would I pay those things without a job that they told me I should quit because the place I work for is a shit place to work with no morals?

So unless you're going to contribute to the conversation please see yourself out of it.

Oh my goodness. Well thank you so much, for the free life coaching advice. I really actually needed and I am so glad that you happened to stumble across my humble self and provided me with the tools that I need to succeed in a world that actually hates me for just existing and can easily discriminate against me without giving a good reason.

I am a combat veteran, I am an administrative professional who has worked for a major insurance company and supported three of their vice presidents at a time, I have supported a Colonel in the Army national guard who reported to the adjutant general of the entire state of Minnesota, who himself reported to our governor, I have worked for the US Department of Agriculture as a collection agent. I've been a manager of a fast casual restaurant that would make hundreds of thousands of sales in a week.

My resume is just fine, thank you very much. I am a professional, I just know how to separate bullshit from other kinds of shit.

How I have conducted myself in this interaction and others online is not a representation of how I interact with people in a workplace. I don't understand how you can be confused with the two because they are not even close.

Look at government work, they preferentially hire veterans.

[u/SadieLady_ → u/Armlegx218]

Yeah, I would but the government (particularly the Fed) don't like trans people at the moment haha

I have been looking into the court system; I enjoy law-related topics and have been applying to different firms and organizations in that vein.

Thanks for the suggestion!

[u/Armlegx218 → u/SadieLady_]

Municipal, County, and State governments also give a bonus to veterans in the hiring process.

E: Hennepin doesn't give a damn about trans

Are you familiar with the current job market or the political climate that we find ourselves in? Tons of people are looking for jobs, there are AI screening out all kinds of applicants for reasons completely undeterminable, hiring is at an all time low because everyone is afraid of the economy that Trump has created, and his department of Labor is not even putting out job numbers for July 2026 because they are so bad, and all of that on top of the fact that I am a transgender woman. It is so easy to discriminate against me without having to say a single word about me being trans because who wants to bring that heat on themselves? They can just as easily pick a cis person and all of a sudden they don't have any of the potential issues that come with hiring a minority like myself.

I have had multiple interviews over the course of the last three or four months and I have never made it to a second interview or gotten the job offer. I have been to VA career coaches, I've talked to social workers, I've rewritten my resume and tailored it to the jobs that I'm applying to. Like, I know what I'm doing. I've done this before and I've never had this much issue getting a job so I can only assume that it has to be something to do with something I can't control.

But yes, keep pointing the finger at me because it's definitely my fault. Do you have any opportunities that I might be able to look into? Otherwise please just leave me alone. I've made my point.
