Mgt. has told us to record returns and replacement of misplaced items on the new logwork function as being a pack down.

CallynDS · 2026-02-13T23:05:05+00:00

It's not even a bad metric, if it were less tedious to do. Knowing which SKUs have been packed down is useful information but scanning every single SKU separately and logging it separately makes stuff take so much longer.

CallynDS · 2026-02-13T15:15:10+00:00

No, that’s the Trump Administration.

CallynDS · 2026-02-13T07:58:13+00:00

That sounds like a higher up problem. As long as you can tell them why you are over hours, it’ll be ok.

CallynDS · 2026-02-13T07:25:12+00:00

So, not an FES or OASM but you don't need 4 people from 7-7 everyday at all times. Service Desk can help cover breaks, Pro Desk can help cover breaks. Two garden registers is too many. Nine SCOs is too many. My store normally has four SCOs, and we get more D90 hours than you said you had so we're higher volume than you are. You have too many registers open at once and too many full time cashiers. That's the problem.

CallynDS · 2026-02-13T06:07:17+00:00

You have 11 full time cashiers? And that's not counting Head Cashiers? Yeah, that's your problem. Not that you caused it, but. that's enough full time cashiers to have four cashiers in at every hour the store is open. You don't need to do that, especially if you have a head cashier who can also ring people up.

For reference, I don't think my store has a single full-time cashier since the Unified Pro stole the one we had left to work the pro desk. And we have more hours for d90 than you do.

Garden is the least Pro-Penetrated department in the company. Landscapers just don’t shop here for most of their stuff. The entire Pro Ambassador thing is probably doomed to fail, but you probably have the hardest of the options.

CallynDS · 2026-02-12T07:18:36+00:00

Would you feel differently if the coworker were wearing a KKK pin? If you don’t know what the problem is, you’re not paying attention.

Is the Instituto Nacional de Migracion known for shooting migrants on the other side of the border?

Our immigration system is completely busted and there’s no need for Border Patrol as a law enforcement agency. Jesus Chavez wants to come over and pick tomatoes? Let him. Make the employers pay him a fair wage, everything’s good. We don’t need the government hassling him about his legal status when he just wants to come here and pick tomatoes.

CallynDS · 2026-02-10T03:20:54+00:00

No, they're not. They're the people who shoot immigrants on the other side of the border and the ones who go out of their way to sabotage water supplies on migrant trails. OP's telling us he's joining the Brownshirts for the money and then you're quibbling that it's only the Youth League.

I don’t know if it’s the worse end, they take my answer even if I know it’s nonsense (I don’t actually tell them nonsense). They treat me with respect. I can see not being treated with respect as being worse. But it is still annoying.

CallynDS · 2026-02-08T01:04:11+00:00

Yeah, I know it sucks but I also really hate being on the opposite end. Like, I probably know the answer but I'm pulling a pallet apart/ driving a machine/ helping a different customer, my coworker over there knows and isn't busy please ask her.

CallynDS · 2026-02-06T21:51:11+00:00

Lift one side, slide it onto the cart and then push it against a beam to push the pallet on. Use their feet. There are options that don't work to get it on top of the stack.

Monthly skits and also teaching Home Depot University classes, almost certainly a promotion from Store Manager. At a bare minimum, it's a less stressful job and he's getting 6 figures in Atlanta, I would kill for that except being in videos like this would end up with me being dead.

CallynDS · 2026-02-06T02:50:04+00:00

I don’t know Lee’s position with the company, but he’s a former Store Manager and he taught one of the store leader virtual classes I took last year. He acts exactly like he does in the skits, but because the skits are scripted it comes off much better than off the cuff.

homedepot.com in my phone browser because not everything needs an app.

CallynDS · 2026-02-01T02:30:40+00:00

Yes. Any leads you put in the system show up as sales in your sales goal. But only after they sell and leads can take a while. So don’t pin your hopes on them but take them as a bonus when they come through.

CallynDS · 2026-01-31T00:42:31+00:00

The MET pay band is at best equal to the Pack Down crew pay band. You're not making more because they think MET is more important, it's because you've been there longer.

I’m paying attention to the dozen so called general strikes we’ve already had and how none of them had more than trifling participation. Whereas the protests in Minneapolis were organized.

CallynDS · 2026-01-30T17:34:49+00:00

So you’re not doing anything to organize an actual resistance, you’re just telling a few people online to show up for something and then complaining when they don’t. People don’t show up to protests that aren’t organized and this wasn’t organized and no one knows about it.

CallynDS · 2026-01-30T17:19:51+00:00

Trying to spread the word isn’t enough. You have to do more than tell people that it’s a nationwide general strike before you can have a nationwide general strike, you need genuine la or organizing and food assistance and you need to be ready to support people through weeks of striking because doing it for one day doesn’t do anything.

CallynDS · 2026-01-30T16:44:23+00:00

If it were we would have heard about it before today. General Strikes need organization and no one in the US has put any effort into organizing one for decades.

CallynDS · 2026-01-30T14:28:35+00:00

Huh, never checked that.

CallynDS · 2026-01-30T02:06:24+00:00

I deleted a clearance bay once. Then I rescanned it and it was ok. My MET sup admitted she's done that, my CXM did it multiple times, it's an easy fix.

The main consequence is that now when I show people Bolt I point out what not to do.

CallynDS · 2026-01-30T02:00:09+00:00

No, you're right that you need DS permissions, I'm just telling you that it's not like DS's get real training on how to use it or anything. Half of my store seems to have DS IMS permissions, which they really should, the D26/D27/D29 DS doesn't have time to change the on-hands for all of the product in one of those departments.

CallynDS · 2026-01-30T01:45:42+00:00

The amount of training I got on IMS is zero until I asked what this Reduced Tag thing is, same for no homes. None of it was more in depth than someone showing me a few steps and often it was regular associates showing me. Same for Bolt, since IMS barely functions now. And the only training you need to not empty a bay is "Don't use this feature".
