Target Fires Security Guard After Black Customer Says She Was Racially Profiled, Forced to Remove Clothing to Prove Innocence
Target fired an employee at a Michigan store on Monday, two weeks after a black customer was falsely accused of stealing a bikini and then forced to remove her clothing to prove her innocence, according to her attorney. The development was the latest in a string of discriminatory practices that have dogged the retailer.

Ashanae Davis, 20, was exiting the Southfield, Michigan, store on May 22 when a Target security guard confronted her and claimed that she was wearing a stolen bikini bottom underneath her clothes, Davis' attorney, Jasmine Rand, said Monday. A second guard then handcuffed her and dragged her through the store, yelling that she had stolen the bikini, Rand said.

The officers took her to a room. Once inside, a female manager was called in, and Davis was instructed to lift up her shirt and pull down her pants in front of the manager and the two male officers.

Davis said she felt "humiliated and forced" by the Target employees.

"Initially, I was in shock. I couldn't believe what was going on," Davis, who lives nearby in the Detroit area, told NBC News. "I was scared - afraid of what was going to happen next."

Davis and Rand held a press conference on Monday morning in Detroit in which they detailed the incident, adding that Target had not responded to their calls. Hours later, Target announced that it had fired one worker.

"We want everyone who shops at Target to feel welcomed and respected and take any allegations of mistreatment seriously," Target said in a statement. "We're sorry for the actions of our former team member, who created an experience we don't want any guest to have at Target. Upon reviewing our team's actions, we terminated the team member who was directly involved."

The statement added that the retailer would be addressing the matter with the security team for the store.

The manager is white, as is one of the security guards, Davis' attorney said. The other guard, who is black, hinted after Davis was allowed to leave that what had happened to her was not unusual.

"The African-American employee apologized to her and said, 'This happens all the time,' and he was afraid he would lose his job" if he didn't participate, Rand said. "The other two did not apologize at all." nbcnews.com


Security Guard's Licenses Revoked for Felony Expunged Nearly 30 Years Ago
A long-time security guard for the Little Rock School District is out of a job and without his security license. He says it's all because of a crime he committed nearly 30 years ago that was taken off his record. The security guard pled guilty to a felony in 1992. After being on probation for about five years, the judge cleared his record. Since then, he says, he's never been in trouble with the law again. Bert Gatlin says he's worked as a security guard at the Little Rock School District for 22 years. fox16.com

5 Ways HR in Canada Is Different
HR professionals on both sides of the border deal with similar issues, but a closer look reveals five key differences between the U.S. and Canada. Work cultures aren't quite the same. In general, Canadian workers have more workplace rights and job protections under the law.

1. Termination of Employment Employers in Canada, unlike in the U.S., do not practice at-will employment. That's one of the biggest differences between the laws of the two countries.

In Canada, every employment relationship is governed by an agreement that grants employees rights regarding termination. For example, "Canadian employers must always provide notice or pay ... if they wish to cancel that contract―or, in other words, fire someone."

The main exception is just cause for termination, which generally refers to firing someone for serious misconduct, incompetence or willful disobedience. "But that is a very high and difficult threshold to meet in Canada," and when employees are let go, severance packages are often much more generous than they are in the United States.

2. Parental Benefits Canadian parents receive more-generous leave by law than their U.S. neighbors.

3. Marijuana Legalization In the U.S., states have taken the lead on regulating the substance. In Canada, federal legislation will make cannabis legal across the country sometime between August and September 2018. But how that translates into specific workplace rules will vary from province to province.

4. Sexual Harassment and #MeToo Across Canada, federal human rights legislation has protected against sexual orientation and gender discrimination for years, Pau says. Harassment tends to be covered in provincial occupational health and safety laws, adding a layer of protection for workers and obligations on employers.

5. Minimum Wage British Columbia, Alberta and Ontario have mandated increases in the minimum wage in recent years-providing a case study in how such legislation can affect businesses. One unfortunate consequence of the resulting higher labor costs is an increase in the number of terminations and staff reductions at small and midsize businesses. shrm.org


Toys "R" Us workers take pay demands to Wall Street
Should deep-pocketed investors and corporate executives profit as a company goes bankrupt? That's what workers laid off by Toys "R" Us are asking as they demand compensation following the retailer's demise earlier this year.

Toys "R" Us gave out millions in executive bonuses a week before filing bankruptcy, but isn't paying severance to the roughly 30,000 employers who are losing their jobs as the company shuts down.

In a campaign supported by the advocacy groups Center for Popular Democracy and the Organization United for Respect, dozens of Toys "R" Us workers on Monday took their demands for severance payments to the New York offices of the private-equity firms they claim are responsible for the chain's undoing.

Current and former Toys "R" Us employees are also readying a claim to file in bankruptcy court this week asking that they receive fair compensation, according to labor advocates in involved in the campaign. cbsnews.com

Walmart, Target, Kohl's see the light at the end of Toys R Us' tunnel
Retailers are already preparing for the disappearance of Toys R Us from the market. Since the toy retailer filed for bankruptcy last fall, media and analysts have speculated on who might grab Toys R Us' market share should it close stores or fail altogether. Now many are making plans to push deeper into the category as the 70-year-old toy retailer winds down.

Walmart, which is often credited with being among Toys R Us' killers, said last week it plans to expand toy offerings. Target, which added 1,400 toys to its offering in 2017, is also beefing up the category in stores. Kohl's has company in the department store space. J.C. Penney - whose catalogs used to be filled with toys - has also expanded assortment. retaildive.com


Walmart order-by-text service could be
next stage of omnichannel retail and e-commerce

Walmart unveiled plans for their new delivery service, Jetblack, which will allow some of their customers to order goods from their website by way of text messages. The initiative, spearheaded by Rent the Runway co-founder Jenny Fleiss, has started serving people in New York City and will soon expand nationwide.

Walmart created Jetblack within their Store No. 8 technology incubator, believing it to be a step forward in their battle to retake control of the market against Amazon. Users will be able to shop on Walmart.com and other websites, text Jetblack with specific orders, and receive other recommendations before ordering it with same-day delivery. techrepublic.com

Security Fail?
One in three companies think paying hackers is worth the risk

For some organisations it seems splashing out on cyber security products or training is viewed as investing in something which might actually never be needed, so some are choosing to invest elsewhere.

Decision makers at organisations around the world were asked if they would consider paying a ransom by a hacker rather than invest in security because it's cheaper.

Just over a third (35 percent) of US firms said they'd consider taking this action, while the country with the fewest number of organisations which would consider paying a ransom to hackers is the UK -- although one in five still represents a significant proportion. zdnet.com

What does a ransomware attack cost? Beware the hidden expenses
Not surprisingly, industry estimates relating to ransomware damages have soared recently. Cybersecurity Ventures, which pegged ransomware costs at $325 million in 2015, last year estimated damages at $5 billion in 2017 and predicted it would exceed $11.5 billion in 2019.

For security executives trying to prepare a total ransomware cost estimate, the key is not to get fixated on the ransom amount itself. Even if you end up paying it to recover your data - something that most security analysts advocate against - the actual costs of the attack in most cases will end up being greater.

"Data loss and loss of productivity are two of the biggest ransomware-related issues that executives need to proactively plan for,"
says Gary Mello, security evangelist, SentinelOne. "Projecting the overall cost of an attack needs to include loss and destruction of data, downtime and loss of productivity, and the potential for post-attack disruption to the normal course of business." csoonline.com

Cloud functions present new security challenges
Serverless apps are deployed over a cloud platform and are designed to use only the amount of computing resources needed to carry out a task. They come into play when needed, and then go away when the task completes. This is great if you're looking to maximize performance and minimize overhead in a cloud environment. Because they are small, fast and have short lifespans, however, serverless apps pose challenges to security teams.

The cybersecurity industry is still trying to come to grips with containers, those small, easy-to-deploy, pre-built little bundles of applications. Since many containers can run in a single virtual machine, each isolated from the rest, they are cheaper and more flexible than previous application deployment options. csoonline.com

U.S. Sen. Warner: Mandatory Standards Critical for IoT Security
Following the release of a report to President Trump on the increasing threat of botnets, Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va., said Thursday that the government is not doing enough to force the private sector to build better security into Internet of Things (IoT) devices.

The botnet report called for the establishment of security baselines for IoT devices in both commercial and government environments, similar to the type of standards Warner has been advocating for in legislation he introduced in the Senate last August with Sen. Cory Gardner, R-Colo.

Their bill calls for "minimal cybersecurity operational standards for Internet-connected devices purchased by Federal agencies."

A draft of new legislation in the House also calls for an in-depth study into the IoT marketplace in order to coordinate the appropriate regulatory framework for the burgeoning industry.

Warner, co-founder of the Senate Cybersecurity Caucus, said the report is further evidence that Congress needs to move quickly to make that bill law. meritalk.com

US Authorities to Open Criminal Investigation into Bitcoin Price Manipulations
The Justice Department has opened a criminal test into whether dealers are controlling the cost of Bitcoin and other digital monetary standards, significantly tightening up U.S. investigation of scorching markets that commentators say are overflowing with unfortunate behavior, as per four individuals acquainted with the issue.

The examination is centered around unlawful practices that can impact costs - for example, ridiculing, or flooding the market with counterfeit requests to trap different products into purchasing or offering, said the general population, who requested that they should not be recognized in light of the fact that the survey is private. hibusiness.ca

Face Recognition Offers Retailers a Fast and Dramatic ROI

Retail chains post impressive e‑commerce growth in this week's earnings news
A number of retail chains reported strong e-commerce growth this week, helping them post revenue increases as store sales slump.

DSW didn't break out exact e-commerce revenues, but chief financial officer Jared Poff said on the company earnings call that orders placed online and via a mobile device increased by more than a third year over year for its first fiscal quarter ended May 5. Total comparable sales were up 2.2% overall.

Express Inc. (No. 97) reported a 35% increase in e-commerce sales for the first quarter. Online sales accounted for 28% of total revenue, or about $134.2 million, during the quarter, up from 21% of total revenue, or about $99.6, million during the same period last year.

E-commerce sales at Ulta Beauty were up 48% year over year to $154.4 million during the first quarter. Online sales now represent 10% of the retailer's total $1.54 billion in overall sales. Comparable retail store sales increased 4.7% during the same period last year and overall comparable sales (including stores open at least 14 months and e-commerce sales) were up 8.1%.

Lululemon Athletica Inc. (No. 90) posted a 60% year-over-year increase in first quarter comparable sales through its direct-to-consumer channel, which is mostly online sales, while comparable store sales rose 8%. Total comparable sales were up 20% with a net revenue of $649.7 million.

Abercrombie & Fitch Co. (No. 69) announced a 14% increase year over year in direct-to-consumer sales, which include e-commerce transactions, during the first quarter. The direct channel generated $200.7 million in sales, or about 27% of the apparel retailer's total sales of $730.9 million.

Dick's Sporting Goods (No. 54) online sales increased 24% year over year during the first quarter to $210.1 million. That's now 11% of total sales, compared with 9% during the same period last year. Comparable same-store sales dipped 0.9%, but overall the retailer reported a 4.6% total revenue increase to $1.91 billion.

Costco Wholesale Corp. (No. 12) boosted e-commerce sales by 36.8% year over year for its 2018 fiscal third quarter ending May 13. Profits are down with a gross margin of 11.1% compared with 11.5% during the same period last year. Total comparable sales were up 12.1% to $32.4 billion.

Hibbet Sports Inc. reported that online sales now make up 7% of overall sales or $19.2 million. Overall expenses hit 22.5% of net sales, compared with 21.2% last year. Comparable store sales were down 0.3%, with net sales across stores and e-commerce totaling $274.7 million. digitalcommerce360.com

Amazon needs to get a handle on its counterfeit problem
'Fulfilled by Amazon' should be a badge of trust, not a legal loophole

Legally, Amazon isn't responsible for third-party counterfeits, as its Fulfilled by Amazon service acts as a shield against liability. With FBA, Amazon takes care of the entire transaction between sellers and customers. It stores, ships and processes payments, but the only thing it doesn't do is claim to be the owner -- and that's what keeps it from being held accountable.

The Counterfeit Report (TCR), an advocacy group that works with brands to detect fake goods, has found around 58,000 counterfeit products on Amazon since May 2016. That's a small slice of the 560 million items on the site, but even a single counterfeit is probably too many for most customers. Craig Crosby, TCR's publisher and CEO, said that as Amazon's sales keeps increasing, so does the fake-goods problem. All told, the group managed to have 35,000 items taken down, but TCR says that the total number of fakes on Amazon could be much higher than 58,000, since that accounts for only brands it represents.

Although Amazon is not be liable for the sale of counterfeits on its marketplace, thanks to its FBA program, that may not be the case for long. Mark Schonfeld, a partner at law firm Burns & Levinson LLP, in Boston, who focuses on intellectual property cases, said that Amazon has been able to shield itself because when it started its business, it acted only as an intermediary between buyer and seller. But that's clearly changed in the past few years as Amazon has taken on the approach of being more of a direct seller, be it through its own sales or those that are Fulfilled by Amazon. engadget.com

Muncie, IN: Three sentenced in $1.2M Amazon return scheme;
stole over 2,700 items

Three people have been sentenced in a fraud investigation involving more than $1 million worth of Amazon merchandise. Erin and Leah Finan, plead guilty to federal mail fraud and money laundering charges and were sentenced to 71 and 68 months respectively. Danijel Glumac, pleaded guilty to money laundering and fencing items, and was sentenced to two years. U.S. Attorney Josh Minkler said the Finans and Glumac stole and sold more than 2,700 electronics items such as GoPro digital cameras, Xbox's, Samsung smartwatches, and Microsoft Surface tablets. "For the Finans, fraud had become a way of life. Their Amazon scheme was their "job." It involved placing thousands of Amazon orders, creating hundreds of false identities, retrieving their stolen goods from retail shipping stores all over Indiana, and selling them to their fence, Glumac, on a near-daily basis." Their theft included more than $1.2 million in stolen products and they made more than $750,000 by selling those products over a two-year period. theindychannel.com

However, it's also a double-edged sword that mandates your adherence and constant effort to reach your written objectives and goals. The problem is that while most are rather open about their areas of improvement, very few actually quantify what they are going to do to improve and set specific goals that are realistically obtainable. The first step may be in just approaching and completing the reviews of your direct reports first and doing them with the same intensity and focus as you do yours. This step gets you in the game so to speak and allows you to tie yours into your teams and also may just give you some feedback you need to hear.
