After donating $1m to Trump and axing DEI, Target CEO watches his salary get chopped in half by tariffs and angry shoppers

He still “earned” 753x more than the median Target salary. Crushing, I am sure. How will he ever survive?

I'm not sure that there's any aspect about this news that's truly "uplifting".

Cornell, who has led the Minneapolis-based retail chain since 2014, received $9.9 million in total compensation for 2024, an 87% drop from his 2020 peak of $77.5 million.

What the actual fuck? Why are humans being paid $10m A YEAR, let alone over $75m?!

If I had $9 million dollars I would be done. That's line a six figure annual salary if you put it in the safest of safe investments.

Rich people suck

The only bit of the title I can fully get behind is this:
Target CEO.
Target CEO 🎯🎯

Greedy pricks like this should live in fear.

Go woke or go broke.

Target’s CEO pay ratio now stands at 753 to 1, with median employee pay at $27,090.

Target was one of few department stores I actually felt okay about. They hadn't done anything particularly terrible, even what scandals I did find seemed to have nuance to them. Then they decided to wage war on minorities - sorry, "DEI", and I called them to specifically say I'd never shop there again.

I didn't bother to state "unless", but I'd be okay with returning to them if they turn out to fire the people responsible for the move.

Oh no, only a few hundred million a year instead of all the millions a year? Devastating

Oh no! His salary was slashed 50% to only $9M?!?!? How does the poor dear survive?

Most of us survive on less than 1% of that. Yay! We're One Percenters!

Would be nice if he lost it all

Still not enough. As someone who frequently shopped at Target, I doubt I'll ever go back.

I found the problem!

Wait until they see a guillotine rolling up the street

meanwhile costco traffic doubled :)

I closed my target account when they pulled this crap. Shopping Costco and thrifting only now. No walmart, no amazon either.

They didn't heed the warning of Pillow Guy's demise. There many big US businesses that are going to hurt badly in the coming months and years - all thanks to their support of Trump. It's wonderful.

Didn’t target boost prices leading to record profits during the pandemic? Seems like balance is returning to the world. Perfect time for some tiny violins

I saw CEO and chopped in one sentence and I thought the guillotines have finally come out. It's a good start, I guess.

For those of you not aware of Target's recent troubles, here is an astrophysicist explaining why they suck. : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lPVSj9rcK-E With data!

Neat! Hope he loses even more!

oh no. anyway.

Not enough. We need more pressure.

Just to put $10 million a year into better perspective: that is ~ $833,000 per month or ~$208,000 each Week! for one year

The SOB is not hurting and he should have been given the Target median income for fucking up.

Article title sounds like an a abusive relationship.

Really painted a target on his back, didn’t he?

I can think of other things this guy could use chopped.

Keep axing and I bet the situation will improve for everyone.

Is he getting paid stocks now?

Salary removed by moderator.

misleading title at best

lol. That is all.
