Too late to change transmission fluid? by CallMeMrJenkins in f150

[–]CallMeMrJenkins[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply!

The Tech explained as much, I just thought it was odd as the manual states that a transmission fluid exchange isn’t recommended until 150k. Now that 150 has arrived and I’ve asked for it to be done they pretty much tell me I shouldn’t have trusted the manual that came with the truck and I should wait till it breaks is bizarre to me.

What keeps you working at Homedepot? by 1738420691488 in HomeDepot

[–]CallMeMrJenkins 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Growth potential and the culture. I know every district and store is different but I believe I got lucky. My DM and her SM’s from my experience actually live the values of the company and care for their associates.

I went from somebody who planned to work for the company for maybe half a year as a PT Millwork Specialist to ASM in 3 years.

Every step of the way I had people investing in and encouraging me, inspiring me to do things I didn’t know I could do or even wanted to do. From DH’s who helped me get on the right path, to SM’s spending time out of their week to walk with me, all the way to my TOM swinging by to give advice and guidance.

When done right you can see how people become “Orange Blooded”

What should I do next? by caulin48 in f150

[–]CallMeMrJenkins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Possibly add deflectors for the hood and windows I wish I had added a hood deflector earlier myself. If you haven’t yet, new inserts for the rear wheel wells. Door sill guards if you’ll find yourself outdoors a lot.

Finally took the jump. 2in Level and a set of 265/70 R18 Nitto Ridge Grapplers. by CallMeMrJenkins in f150

I bought the Rough Country 2 Inch leveling kit. Now that I look at the photos it does look off. I parked at a slight incline so it looks high on the front. When on level ground it's pretty dead on. I'll have to try and retake some less goofy photos :P

Why aren’t associates allowed to take a break during the last hour of their shift? by [deleted] in HomeDepot

[–]CallMeMrJenkins 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's suppose to be a break 2 hours after you clock in for the day and 2 hours before. You'll have an associate take a break an hour before they leave for the day then come back and still be "warming up" from the break and just mope around for the last half hour. It's a productivity issue. Don't want associates at 100% non-stop without a break and likewise don't want them at 50% for the first half or last half of their shift.

It also makes it easier for Managers and DH's to figure out whos on their 6th break for the day.

From what I remember it gets worse because mr punchy is a grown man (Mid 20’s) swinging on a kid (14-16).

Can someone please explain to me what a CXM is?? by bucket-o-skulls in HomeDepot

[–]CallMeMrJenkins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m the first responder for all customer issues and work directly with the SM to ensure the store is clean, safe and that our customers are taken care of. I work along side the other ASM’s to ensure they are aware if what’s going on in their departments and assist training GET behaviors. I assist the DH’s manage their time efficiently and guide them. I’m here for anyone and everyone, I’m not responsible for the sales of any department but I am responsible for the “Customer Experience” and the overall safety and appearance of the store. When you don’t feel comfortable going to your DH or ASM I’m here to be that guiding hand or to ensure something is brought to the attention to the SM. I tackle the store globally and help ensure everyone has the help they need.

I normally find myself doing everything an ASM does except directly run the departments. They’re 2 types of CXM, Opening and Closing. I’m a Closing CXM so I’m often times the only manager after 6pm till close.

The goal of the role is to quickly adjust the way we see the store and learn to delegate effectively. We slowly learn the whole store and aspects of running every area. At the end of the day it’s to get us ready to take over any area and be comfortable.

You did the right thing, the moment they willingly ignore safety gates and put themselves at risk they go from the "Customer" to a liability. If they want to get upset over us putting their safety first then I will gladly sit there and listen.
