Do Target workers deserve a shortened Black Friday?

Problem is, more and more corporations are jumping on the "take, take, and take some more" bandwagon, and people have less options. I know...I know, they should just be happy to have a job.

I agree and saw it firsthand at Walgreens. They reported 36 years of record profits through 2011 when I left there, yet they kept squeezing the proverbial rag looking for another drop out of their employees. I have dozens of instances I could reference detailing basically employee abuse at the district level and corporate level, but the employees just took it because they didn't want to put their jobs in jeopardy.
As I said, I made my choice to work there and I made my choice to leave. I am much happier now that I can have a life with my family and actually be around to watch my kids grow up.
