Submission + - Target Mandates Worker Smiles, Friendliness to Boost Sales in "Forced Joy" (bloomberg.com) 1
joshuark writes: The Minneapolis-based retailer has a new directive for store employees: If a shopper comes within 10 feet of you, then make sure you smile, make eye contact and greet or wave. If they come closer — within four feet — ask whether they need help or how their day is going, according to new guidance confirmed by Bloomberg News. This is part of the Forced Joy trend.
The new initiative — dubbed the 10-4 program internally — is among Target’s latest efforts to make its stores more welcoming and reverse its extended streak of weak sales. “Heading into the holiday, we’re making adjustments and implementing new ways to increase connection during the most important time of the year,” Chief Stores Officer Adrienne Costanzo said in a statement to Bloomberg News.
Target, which is set to report quarterly earnings later this month, recently cut 1,800 corporate roles to remove complexities and move faster. The company’s shares are down more than 30% year-to-date, compared to a 14% gain for the S&P 500. The retailer’s cheap chic allure has faded and customers have complained on social media about bare shelves and long lines.

Submission + - Musk Wins $1 Trillion Pay Package, Creating Split Screen on Wealth in America (nytimes.com)
schwit1 writes: Tesla shareholders approved a plan to grant Elon Musk shares worth nearly $1 trillion if he meets ambitious goals, including vastly expanding the company’s stock market valuation.
Much like an earlier pay plan that Tesla shareholders approved in 2018, this 12-step package asks Mr. Musk, the company’s chief executive, to vastly expand Tesla’s stock market valuation — to $8.5 trillion from around $1.4 trillion — while hitting a variety of other goals. Those include selling one million robots with humanlike qualities and 10 million paid subscriptions to the company’s self-driving software.

Their aggressive military actions against Tawain and their (Well Xiâ(TM)s) statements about a probable hostile takeover over Tawaiin by 2027 kind of makes them bad. Or did we decide that autocratic Putin was not âoebadâ for invading Ukraine so he could bring back the Soviet era??
And Xiâ(TM)s promise to Trump that he will not invade Taiwan during Trumpâ(TM)s term in office seems more about playing Trump as the fool he probably perceives Trump to be.
Ergo, fomenting war is a bad thing, and in that light China should, in fact, be seen as âoebad.â

Mr. Dollar Ton writes: Meta is using a classic BitTorrent defense in its legal battle with adult film producer Strike 3 Holdings. In its motion to dismiss, the tech company argues that IP-address evidence is insufficient to prove who the infringer is. Meta further counters that the "sporadic" downloads on its corporate network began years before its relevant AI research started. Instead of AI training, Meta argues the activity was likely just for "private personal use"
