Last night Volunteers were able to get one of the remaining cats safely. They did not step foot onto Home Depot property. They were able to trap one cat on the property of an adjacent business. They tried to trap a second remaining cat but were unsuccessful.
I don't know about you, but when you're a billion dollar company that's designed for DIY and handiwork projects, you can't make posters/Ads yourself?
Among the several reasons why generative AI is terrible for the planet, it's just lazy man.
They look nice, but every time I see one, I can tell the person wearing them doesn't do any physical work.
For example, I'm a millwork specialist, one of two at the store. We have no part timers or hardsiders, so it falls to us to put away the doors and downstock when needed. Except, I'm the only one actually doing any of that. I'm missing my sales metrics because I'm the one who has to handle doors, wallboards, and moving assembled tool chests and grills.
I have a plain apron. It is often scraped and dirty. He paints his apron every quarter, and it is never marred or scuffed. He gets most of our sales since he stays at the desk, so I have to explain to my manager why I'm falling behind.
He's the main culprit I see almost daily, but some of our cashiers, plumbing associates, and hardware folks also have very nicely decorated aprons that seem to last a very, very long time between needing to be changed.
I dunno. I'm not against allowing folks to have some personality, but I feel like decorating the apron means you are less likely to want to get it dirty, and thus are less likely to do work. Maybe I'm just cranky. Probably that to be honest.
So for two shifts this week I've gone in at least 10+ minutes passed my shift which is above the 7 minute grace period. When I first got hired I knew you would get a late-in for arriving past the grace period but as you can see it hasn't registered, did it change with the recent changes? Just taking forever to register or do they like me that much they turn a blind eye? Lol I am not complaining but it didnt take them long to give me the 0.5 occurrence for leaving at 10:41pm instead of waiting to leave until 11pm on September 19th lol so that is why I am asking.
Would you think a manager saying “you’re up for coaching” in passing and walking away is enough of a “talk” about being put on coaching? I thought we were suppose to have a 1 on 1 explaining the details and then I’m supposed to acknowledge a document in work force.
There is definitely some mad management in the comments down voting every one. This isn’t about me showing up or not. It’s about sop being followed correctly and being treated fairly. Why should I take accountability and follow the rules if they won’t?
New hires, move up if you’re given the opportunity. Don’t waste time.
A wise ASM once told me, “If you have no intention of becoming a manager, find something else. Also, don’t tell upper management I told you that.” 😂
I’ll miss the people, not the company. It’s a different company than when I first started. It’s still not a bad gig, but in my opinion, they’ve moved away from their “core values.”
I wish all of my orange-blooded brothers and sisters nothing but the best. 🧡
P.S.
YOU KNOW HOW MUCH MONEY I SPEND HERE?! 😂😂😂
Why do these OurSafety videos get worse each time?
I don’t get all these posts throwing shade @ the Safe Lee videos. If people keep complaining, they aren’t going to make you stop watching safety videos. They are going to make you watch more of the boring “I worked in a store and a customer used the wrong cart and it broke tile” videos that you ignore anyways. These videos try to be engaging and light hearted, and are fun and silly. You still have your standard videos you aren’t paying attention to. But with the Safe Lee videos, more people definitely pay attention and listen. Be it if they enjoy the story line or are hate watching it.
I agree they’re mildly cringe but cringe culture is dead. Enjoy the small things in life or die salty
5 hours of work must be too much for these guys, so they just leave their steel cart
Worked overnight Freight at Home Depot for about a year. Holy fucking shit.
I applied for Garden, somehow ended up doing Freight, and initially they were paying me the cheaper Garden rate. When I questioned shit, management acted like I personally ruined their fucking day.
The micromanagement was insane. Some managers would watch you for ten minutes, then walk over asking, “What are you working on?” Motherfucker, what are YOU working on besides watching me?
Favoritism was everywhere. If they liked you, you could fuck around. If they didn’t, suddenly everything you did deserved a coaching.
Then I had a retinal detachment. My doctor restricted me from lifting over 40 pounds. Management knew, but I still felt pressured to lift beyond my restriction. I’m not risking my fucking eyesight for Home Depot.
Training was a joke too. They barely teach you shit, then coach you for not magically knowing it. Two people call out? Congratulations, you’re now expected to do three people’s work for the same paycheck.
And some managers acted like that little title made them fucking royalty. They could disrespect you, but speak your mind and suddenly you’re the problem.
The Freight work wasn’t even the worst part. It was being understaffed, micromanaged, underappreciated, and treated like management owned you.
Maybe other Home Depots are great. Mine sure as fuck wasn’t to all mangers yall bunch of of punk ass pussy s at least i served my ass for this country to end up getting bossed by a bitch in his midlife crisis
I only noticed this because I was trying to offer the shift. A) Whyyyyyy? B) How am I supposed to see that?
I'm probably just gonna work as a hardware guy and pretend I never saw that unless someone tells me something but I was curious if the automatic schedule generation stuff does this or did someone do this by hand? Haven't talked to my asds about it.
Had someone bring in their blinds like this and said they needed blinds those sizes cut to the exact same measurements😂😂
Im a full time lot associate. I offered to help on register as im qualified and i got scheduled some cashier shifts. Never said id leave lot. Today they changed my schedule and job. All cashier shifts, and they changed my job from Lot to Cashier. Can they do that without talking to me? They've asked before and ive said no, im not leaving lot. Im pissed. I choose lot as i cant sit or stand still. Lot is perfect for me and I like it. I also get tired of people and I can go outside.
16" boxwood for sale for 70 bucks at home Depot if you are interested! I call that n excellent deal! NOT
