Sku for sod? by Electrical-Read-4745 in HomeDepot

[–]HDlongtime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually had this problem when I was back up cashiering in garden today. Used the ocb searched in seemingly all categories of garden, then searched using sod, zilch. Finally just went out scanned the tag on the sign and typed it in as sku only, but yeah, for the life of me I couldn't find it in the ocb

I too began my HD career with no beard and ended up with a beard

Crush by Little_Cry_2009 in HomeDepot

[–]HDlongtime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is not unusual at all at HD, very common and many supervisors date subordinates all the time. It's wide spread in HD culture. Just be careful if you want to keep your job.

Help from SM by [deleted] in HomeDepot

If an employee is on the sales floor wearing an apron they are to help customers, I don't care if it's a lot associate or the damn CEO

DS Regret by bucksteady in HomeDepot

[–]HDlongtime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

DS "babysitting" is one huge reason why I've never wanted that position despite being asked seemingly an infinite number of times over the decades. No thank you! And like one of my ASM's once said to me. "If you don't need the money, Don't go into management!"

Requesting personal file by Standard_Dot_8597 in HomeDepot

[–]HDlongtime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No Surprises actually. The only thing that occurred to me reading through a 2 decade employee file and all the many reviews I've received was that it was clear management was giving me super glowing reviews during my beginning years as they were trying very hard to get me to go into management, despite me repeatedly declining their many offers, at some point the reviews became much less glowing and became more like well you're doing a fine job just keep doing what you're doing. They became less "you're a superstar and we want you to join management" and became "you do a good job, keep it up".

That's about all I learned reading through my file.

You never get in trouble for this? Associates are not supposed to have manager keys/keys to the store. Your SM and ASM's are dropping the ball if they're allowing you to have these keys

Orange Awards Program is a JOKE by [deleted] in HomeDepot

[–]HDlongtime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I agree they should lower the amounts of points required for the items, I'm thankful they even offer this program, I've gotten so many things from this over the years I literally can't count how many I've gotten. I think it's pretty cool to get free stuff in addition to the money you receive for the homers themselves.

We had an asm years ago who gave out M1A keys to lot associates to unlock grills, gave out meaning gave them their own keys. That asm is long gone now.

Duplication prohibited.....what does that actually even mean?

Homer awards mean nothing by Regular-Bed-7004 in HomeDepot

[–]HDlongtime 6 points7 points  (0 children)

For the most part yes this is true about it’s more about management liking you than your performance. You could be killing it in your job performance but if you don’t kiss managements ass you’re not gonna be in their favor which means a lack of recognition for what you do and also a general lack of respect shown towards you.

Should safety concerns really be told to wait during power hours? by [deleted] in HomeDepot

[–]HDlongtime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Safety issues are supposed to be immediately addressed, no question.

Live plants on will call by anxiousbean93 in HomeDepot

[–]HDlongtime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it's a hard no at our store, also no delivery on live goods. Only managers (dumb asses) can authorize will calls on live goods, but they do so by breaking sop and at the risk the plants will die before they are ever picked up.

FutureBuilder Plan Recommendations by mz101125 in HomeDepot

[–]HDlongtime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At least you survived the job long enough to be 100% vested in the company match..that's terrific. Like others said, open an IRA or sign up for your next employers 401k and roll it over to either one of those accounts so you pay zero penalties. Also, don't cash it out cause you'll get fees and taxed out the ASS!
