France's workplace values are eroding, but they may be more realistic than those in the US.  In the US we give everything to the company (hours, loyalty, travel, anxiety) and the CEO bankrupts the company and walks off with the cash.  Or they sell the manufacturing off to China along with all of the jobs.  In France there are those who work for themselves or enjoy their jobs and they've generally got good values.  But it's hard for folks to not get cynical about working for the Man, and consolidation of businesses means that less folks are likely to have ownership of, or enjoy their work.

The Target Corporation has slimmed down to compete with Walmart and K-Mart in the United States.\n\nThe nation's #2 discount chain (behind Wal-Mart) now operates nearly 1,400 Target and SuperTarget stores in 47 states, as well as an online business called Target.com. After years of struggling to turn around its Marshall Field's and Mervyns departments stores divisions, the discounter sold them both in 2004. Target and its cousins, including SuperTarget, which sells groceries, and Target Greatland, have carved out a niche by offering more upscale, fashion-forward merchandise than rivals Wal-Mart and Kmart. Target also owns apparel supplier The Associated Merchandising Corp. and issues Target Visa and its proprietary Target Card.\n\nFollowing the sale of Marshall Field's to The May Department Stores Co. and Mervyns to a group of private-investment firms, Target is finally free to focus on its core discount store business. The country's #2 discounter plans to add more than 600 new stores over the next five years, bringing its store count to more than 2,000 stores nationwide. It is also expanding its SuperTarget format (about 140 outlets), a newer 174,000-sq.-ft. grocery/discount store concept that includes groceries under the Archer Farms brand. In addition, SuperTarget has broadening its private-label offerings to include about 2,900 different products under the premium Archer Farms and lower-cost Market Pantry brands. Other formats include Target Greatland (70% larger than regular Targets) and a growing online store called target.com. (Target.com is the third most visited retail Web site behind eBay and Amazon, beating out Wal-Mart.com.) Target has also added dollar sections -- called The One Spot -- to all of its stores. To support its growth, Target is building a huge new regional distribution center in Midway, Georgia, scheduled to open in 2007.\n\nThe #2 discounter is also increasing the selection of merchandise available at Target.com; from about 90,000 items currently, to 200,000 by the end of the year. Increasing online business has also been of focus of late of Target's archrival Wal-Mart.\n\nTarget has distinguished itself from rival Wal-Mart Stores and grown to become the nation's #2 discounter by employing a strategy that relies on exclusive private-label offerings from big name designers. To stay a step ahead of archrival Wal-Mart, which hopes to upgrade its fashion profile with the new Metro 7 line, Target recently launched its Go International program; limited-edition collections from global designers including the UK's Luella Bartley. The Luella for Target collection, available in Target stores for 90 days from February through April is priced higher than previous apparel offerings by the cheap-chic discounter.\n\nOther tie ups with the world of high fashion include Target's long-term partnership with fashion designer Isaac Mizrahi, who joined the discounter's stable of in-house talent in mid-2003. Mizrahi offers a line of chic and affordable women's apparel and accessories. Other designers with exclusive lines at Target include Amy Coe (children's bedding and accessories), Liz Lange (maternity), Mossimo (junior fashions), and the architect Michael Graves (housewares).
