Exclusive LEAK from inside Target HQ. Here’s how employees reacted to last year’s boycott
2023 saw several boycotts, but Bud Light and Target were by far the pack leaders when it came to the companies that made the horrible financial decision to go woke.
For those who need a refresher, last year, Target included tuck-friendly swimsuits and chest-binding garments (some of them marketed toward children), among other controversial items, in its Pride Month collection. A boycott quickly ensued, resulting in the company losing “$10 billion in market valuation in ten days.”
Now, a year later, Glenn Beck discloses insider information shared by an anonymous Target corporate employee — including leaked internal messages between the members of Target’s “Pride + Business Council.”
“Last year, our team was given exclusive access to internal messages that took place on Target's Slack channel for their ‘Pride + Business Council,”’ he says.
Here are some of the messages exchanged between corporate employees following a town hall meeting framed around reducing some of the company’s more controversial merchandise:
“While we were saying Target went too far, the employees were upset that they hadn't gone far enough,” Glenn translates, adding “We don't know what they said at the leadership of Target,” but “surely it had to be sexist, racist tirades that started this chaos.”
However, there were also employees on the other side of the spectrum. Here are some of their messages:
These comments, in addition to others, resulted in Target leadership sending out a company-wide letter condemning the messages and reiterating that the company “does not tolerate discrimination or hate speech of any kind.”
But the Pride + Business Council wasn’t satisfied and sent the leadership team a list of demands, including “acknowledgment of harm, a sincere apology, and a clear statement of unwavering support for the LGBTQ+ community.”
The department’s memo also included the following statement: “We have always regarded Target as an inclusive and progressive company. However, these recent events have called into question the company’s commitment to these values.”
Further, it stated that “the removal of some of the Pride collection was disappointing and distressing, so for the company to atone, they needed Target to acknowledge in writing the harm done to the LGBTQ+ community (explicitly the trans and non-binary members of the community), forge partnerships with prominent LGBTQ+ advocacy groups, immediately reinstate the Pride collection in full ... donate to LGBTQ+ causes, implement sensitivity training for employees, and cease all contributions to politicians and organizations that do not support the LGBTQ+ community,” reads Glenn, adding that “this is so crazy.”
Bottom line: Target, even at the pinnacle of its Pride collection (don’t forget the company also partnered with a trans satanic artist), wasn’t woke enough for many of its employees.
