Why Target didn't remove layers of middle management this round

Wow, was there really that much bloating that occurred the last several years?
Article below. Says Target will be at 9-10k people that they were back in 2009-2010. I left Target in late 2009 and the company was bloated back then...I just didn't know what the count was. Target really got that fat? Now really not that surprised... — read more
