Of course, the knee-jerk reaction of big business management in Australia seems always to slash away at staff numbers immediately a company hits hard times. Well, not always. TARGET has apparently been in some bother for quite a while. The owners previously appointed a 'new-broom' management to stem the rate of decline in the enterprise compared with other horses in the same stable (eg, Coles, K-mart). Apparently, their remedy was to hire MORE staff in marketing and other support roles, thus making the situation worse!
Since that effort failed miserably, I wonder if the brainstorms who engineered the first abortive attempt to steady the ship, are among the 260 set adrift by the parent company a day or so ago?
