We need fans of GI Joe getting jobs at Hasbro and actually designing what they love, that’s what we need, especially for the 1:18 scale!
"SR" says
So the question is, why is the Replenishment Manager – Target job available in the first place? Is this a new position that they created specifically to address one of their biggest customer complaints? Or is this an existing job and if it's an existing job what happened to the previous guy? was he fired? That would mean they are acknowledging the problem and working on fixing it, or did he get promoted, which suggests the opposite? Or did he just quit? I'd love to know..
ShadowNinja says

May I use weapons and other implements of destruction to convince Target to agree to higher volumes of figures AND give up on exclusives? If so, I'll apply today.

I sense if anyone here worked the position, Target would be terminating their agreement with Hasbro
