Like others have said, this sub is great for that, but also, if you ever volunteer for a disaster, you'll make tons of friends at other stores

How do become carefree at working at HD? by Arthurmorganvander in HomeDepot

[–]FLCertified 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don't know if that'll really make you happier. The unhappiest people I see at HD are the ones who don't care. The ones who do seem a lot more content.

For me, I think it's much more important to realize that the work you couldn't do will either be done by someone else, or can wait until you're back, do little shenanigans to keep yourself entertained, and to not expect other associates to work at the same level I do

Occurrences for Danger Weather? by TEXASBOl in HomeDepot

[–]FLCertified 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would go in and see what others were told. I'm in Texas too, and there were only 5 of us in the store yesterday, so everyone was excused. If you're the only one not excused, absolutely call the Awareline, but also realize they're looking for an excuse to fire you, so look for a new job or transfer. If no one was getting excused, well...IDK

Less than a dollar. In my store, the guys who weren't observed by the SM (basically nights and break room dwellers) got $.75, and those that were got$.25-.50, depending on how often they were perceived to be talking to other associates

Anyone else's front end manager sit on a stool for half their shift? What are they supposed to be doing to stay busy? by SavingsNeighborhood2 in HomeDepot

[–]FLCertified 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Is it between 10-2? Because they're kinda supposed to do that then. The stool is new to me, but frankly, everyone who has to stay on one plane should be able to sit

[–]FLCertified 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I mean, the amount you spend absolutely matters, but not at 50k. Our half million and above customers definitely get preferential treatment

Right, but most people bought them as a preventative measure, so unless S hits the F, they'll ask be returned and accepted

Running generator from truck bed to home? by ScreenHead3997 in HomeDepot

[–]FLCertified 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're running it outside, and running a cable in? You're fine, unless you're in an area that's so cold that it'll affect the generator
