r/HomeDepot

I was working 9-5 yesterday. There was not alot to do, I did a bay packdown, cleaned some grills, and watered the herbs and vegetables all while running around and helping customers. While i was preparing the hose to water the veggies and herbs a woman in a home depot apron appeared out of nowhere and introduced herself saying she was from HR, she struck up a conversation with me, asked how long I've been working there, told her a little over a week, she told me that after i complete 90 days i get a pin and she asked if she could take a picture of me watering the veggies, I said sure and she showed me that she sent it to her boss, she also asked which veggies were the most bought and then she told me good job and walked away, all the while she had that typical HR smile lol, is it common for HR people to show up like that?

i was on my final a year ago and cleared it. but i heard that given my history if i go on coaching again it can be grounds for being fired, is it?

I'm in here right now and if I hear another lame country song, I'm going to lose my mind and leave. Why is Ella Langley, Cody Johnson & Charley Crockett playing in a store in New York. This is worse than Taylor Swift.

Contractors swear in front of women, not in a mean way, but too casual. No one, besides girls really, hands me a receipt or a card. They just throw it down. I’ve started correcting some & saying how it’s impolite. I find it funny, sad & downright a dip in like- public respect, that people behave this way. Almost every transaction at the service desk is demeaning. Yet, we hold our customers to no standard. I want basic humanitarian respect. That’s it & I will correct them going forward. I’m just worried management will have an issue.

I’m so friendly and warm - usually personal, even as a stranger, I’m curious of the job they are doing. I do care, they are people & workers of my community. Why treat me like a dog, when you’re so happy to see me? I’m over it.

This is my PSA - mind your manners & be polite. It displays intelligence and mindfulness. Especially when we are perfect strangers. Thanks.

I know this differs based on location, but I’m wondering generally what it takes to excuse an absence without sick time? I have a bad fever and used up the last of my sick time today but I don’t think I’ll be better tomorrow morning.

Does it have to be a doctor’s note? Is a photo of my 102 degree thermometer good enough? I wanna ask my supervisor but worry they’ll think I’m trying to weasel out of work for the holiday weekend when I rlly just feel like crap lol.

How do y’all go about it? Thanks.

I’m working 9-6 tomorrow and Sunday and the description says “Associate Coach”. All I know is I’m doing some sort of monthly safety video, getting my apron, taking a photo and then going on the floor. Am I missing anything? I’m so nervous!

Did they do this so I wouldn’t get paid my vacation time? Am I supposed to just contact the store and tell them I’m not returning? I thought it was pretty obvious as everyone knew that I wasn’t returning due to the fact that I got another job. I’m very confused as to why they would place me on medical leave.

It’s officially been over a month since I’ve quit home depot and I still haven’t received my final cheque with my unused vacation pay. I’m writing to ask how common of an occurrence is this?

From my understanding, in my province this would be considered illegal and can hold penalties for the home depot.

Does the store close early? Are we still scheduled to come in? Asking just in case I need to request the night off.

I was thinking since I'm enjoying millworks specialist . Since I have family to take care of at home. I want to do it from home if possible. Like those on virtual aprons or like millwork specialist that does virtual consultation?

If anyone know what that position is called how I can apply for it ? I would appreciate it

I have situation come up and I talked my store manager about it and he gave me this Monday and Tuesday off for bereavement and he even pulled up the schedule and gave me bereavement pay for those days. But when I open up workforce app it still says I’m scheduled and doesn’t say anything else is that normal? I just don’t wanna get docked or anything

I have yet to get payed on my regular pay day (yesterday). I was let go for attendance on the 18th today’s the 22nd and my last pay day was the 7th. I worked at least 20 hours but I can’t sign into workforce to check anything. I’m worried what should I do.

Long story short, if you're in the break room and a DH comes in asking you to go help a customer on the floor, can you refuse until your break is over or can they get you for insubordination even though the SOP states that you are owed a 15 minute uninterrupted break?

If there are any managers here can you please clarify on this?
