If I’m getting laid off, it’s splitting hairs at that point whether it’s a Zoom, in-person, phone call, whatever. There is no nice way of telling somebody they are now unemployed and happy upcoming holidays.

Pathetic. Should at least have the dignity to do it in person. Although, if I were laid off, I don't know if I'd want to have to walk out past everyone after.

Never been laid off only ever quit, about 20x cus this industry is trash where I live. That's changing, done with the east, liked the west alot more.

This is not the year of Target, it seems. They've had nothing but fumble after fumble. And while I wouldn't like to be fired over Zoom, I don't necessarily know if it would be any better or worse than being fired in person, lol

Typical for target

When they budget cut the budget cut. What you expect targets going under.

Moving on from Hotels (Hospitality)?

I’ve been thinking about this for awhile now, but it is very to commit to actually accept a new job offer since I really do love my job. My only complaint is, the pay vs workload is very small. I’m a manager now and my property offered me a director position… but the salary is still low! To make six figures, it’ll take another 5-6 years to grind it out.

Should I move on and go to a different industry? Opinions are welcome! Thanks in advance.
