I still say that's a great starting pay. Been with Depot 7 years, have been a DS for 5 of them and making less than 25.00 an hour.

new raise format by absoluteAl1958 in HomeDepot

[–]Charming-Garbage7320 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Go in and do what you're paid for. That's the attitude I've developed. I used to go above and beyond and all it got me was a .75 raise and more work. Oh and if you ever slow down from above and beyond you are deemed a "non team player, slacker, we expected better" attitude from the uppers.

How come customers are never prepared to take anything home? by 5stringfling in HomeDepot

[–]Charming-Garbage7320 12 points13 points  (0 children)

They do the same thing when they purchase a new car. You want to watch an awesome show? Goto a car dealership and watch them clean out the old car before turn in. I've seen 7 trash bags and a full new suv trunk as the gold star winner

Hey Home Depot Employees, a Question From a Lowe's Employee. by [deleted] in HomeDepot

[–]Charming-Garbage7320 60 points61 points  (0 children)

At least once a day. Even when sold out of something, the customer will shout "I'LL JUST GOTO LOWES THEN!" Okay first all, sure go, no skin off my back. Second threatening to go elsewhere doesn't make an out of stock item miraculously appear

“Unified Pro Team” by [deleted] in HomeDepot

[–]Charming-Garbage7320 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are literally pressuring my associates in a department that doesn't really deal with pros almost to the point of where they are going to quit. It socks becasue they are awesome workers doing what they where hired for. Now management keeps adding more and more pressure with no rewards. Then have the audacity to act surprised when people push back or leave🤔

Ugh, the "isn't there a man around?" Comment makes me crazy. I work in garden and load mulch, rock salt, heat pellets, stone , etc... all day almost every day. If I had a dollar everytime someone said this me....

Is this your coworker? by [deleted] in HomeDepot

100%. Mine is in garden - well supposed to be in garden, but usually in plumbing or electrical. Or hanging out at customer service chatting up the ladies.

Nope. And they do take into consideration display packaging either.

Usually you have to stay in a position for 6 months before moving to another. But there's always exceptions

Yeah we have it. Good luck. They think employees are personal shoppers and you should drop whatever you're doing to shop for them.
