When Alphabet stops holding up their end of the bargain, I'll stop paying them money. A pretty standard business/customer relationship.

This always makes me laugh. They may be the minority, but public companies like Costco and Target who prioritize employees and company longevity do exist.

I spent a few years working at Target and a few at a Walmart. I'd take the Walmart every day of the week, though of course some of this is the particular people in charge at the store level, etc. I found Target to treat its employees pretty terribly in comparison.
There’s also a bit of a big fish in a small pond that can happen - a normal target employee may very well be an absolutely top tier Walmart employee - and being too tier is always nice.
Respectfully, this anecdote does nothing to refute the point.
There are an uncountable number of variables which could have resulted in your experience that have nothing to do with Target's (or Walmart's) high level corporate strategies.
That said, I am sorry that it was your experience. Working for bad bosses sucks big time.
