In this powerful replay episode, Felicia brings back one of the most jaw-dropping career survival stories we’ve ever shared. Raslyn C. Wooten takes us through her incredible journey of surviving not one, not two, but three PIPs (Performance Improvement Plans) at Target. Yes, you read that right.

This conversation is a must-listen for anyone who has ever been gaslit at work, set up to fail, or made to feel “less than” despite their excellence. Raslyn’s story is a masterclass in resilience, strategy, and holding onto your power when your workplace tries to take it from you.

What makes this replay even more timely is the broader context unfolding right now: Target’s long-standing issues with performative DEI have finally been dragged into the spotlight. In 2025, Target dismantled its $2 billion REACH initiative and rebranded its Supplier Diversity program, facing nationwide backlash, investor lawsuits, and boycotts. But for those inside, like Raslyn, these systemic problems — racism, bias, and corporate gaslighting — have been simmering for years. The political climate attacking DEI efforts has only emboldened companies to roll back progress, exposing the fragility of “corporate allyship” when it’s not rooted in real change.

Whether you’re currently navigating a toxic work situation or just want to armor up for your career journey, this replay will remind you: you are not crazy, you are not alone, and you can win — even when the odds are stacked against you.
