Target policy of "walk of shame" results in a suicide.

[tinydancer]

This is a "beyond horrible" story of a company policy gone awry. I am caught between disgusted and passionately angry and heartbroken for this young man's mother.

This outrageous policy has to stop like freaking yesterday. You don't do this to anyone in your employ. If I still lived stateside I'd be leading a boycott. Thank heaven's they are closing up here. But that's another story.

Target maintains that they have no such policy. No other ex employee has ever had a walk of shame. This was manufactured by the family of the mentally ill man that got fired.

Was it Target policy all over the world or just in California?

Or will you be posting a link?

That's what he said. But we don't know if that's what happened. The boy had problems. His brain processed what happened according to whatever it was able to comprehend.

That's beyond gone awry. Management knew he had been diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome.

How do you know that I just don't love tipsy cats?

I am perfect. I have no vices at all. I do not drink, use drugs, gamble, look at porn and I don't like sex. I am an angel on this flawed earth.

IOW, you made it up when you wrote:

Here's what the article said about Target:

Target has refused to comment due to the pending litigation.
If you have some inside information, as you are hinting, then post it.

Did you have a deeper thought behind that?

I didn't think so.

When will you post a link corroborating your assertion that most of the KXL oil will be exported? Get your butt over to that thread, soldier.

You know I don't believe that for a moment. I know that Target is under fire for many issues at the moment. BTW used to be a huge fan.

Your post? The man was never fired. And he was cleared and never even charged. So your post makes no sense.

It also doesn't even make good nonsense if in fact he is a lawyer. Lawyers are hired as specialists in keeping their mouths shut. Most legal matters can be handled competently by legal zoom.
