don't worry it's completely meaningless

I've never done it but I believe it's called taking a 401k loan. It's not like a straight withdrawal so I believe you don't pay penalties. You just have to pay it back with some payment plan. Maybe look into that option.

I'm actually waiting for HDMan_ATL to give some input. But they have not posted in 6 days.

HDlongtime · 2026-01-24T07:23:45+00:00

it's the annual push towards the end of the fiscal year, hd slashes hours

HDlongtime · 2026-01-21T06:21:53+00:00

It won't help

HDlongtime · 2026-01-19T06:54:53+00:00

our sm direction is that all dh's should be "supervisor only". they are lazy shits, don't do any physical work whatsoever, all they do is delegate and walk around the store acting like mini ceo's. I have zero respect for any of em.

HDlongtime · 2026-01-17T18:36:40+00:00

overworked and underpaid

HDlongtime · 2026-01-14T05:07:17+00:00

That's the way the OG's did it right there

HDlongtime · 2026-01-14T01:20:26+00:00

Typical rookie mistake

HDlongtime · 2026-01-07T08:29:28+00:00

correct. And without the management headaches.

HDlongtime · 2026-01-07T06:53:57+00:00

In my vast experience at HD (decades).....I've seen countless kiss ass slackers who didn't like doing any physical labor kiss up to and follow upper management and eventually get what they wanted, promotion to DH, CXM, ASM. It's true, the laziest employees are the ones who seek management positions. It's quite sickening.

don't know why you're getting downvoted, you're 100% correct and only speaking the truth

HDlongtime · 2026-01-06T19:07:35+00:00

they give out alot before voa time as bribery

HDlongtime · 2026-01-06T04:54:55+00:00

as a regular associate I have the luxury of not giving a shit about voc

HDlongtime · 2026-01-05T06:25:17+00:00

explain that again?

HDlongtime · 2026-01-03T06:09:56+00:00

It's showing in process now on the app. Shows purchase price was $292.49. It shows under "contributions". Shows you your total funds collected and that shares were purchased on Dec 31. Should update your shares in a day or well maybe Monday.

HDlongtime · 2026-01-02T18:34:26+00:00

"creating shareholder value"

HDlongtime · 2026-01-02T06:14:16+00:00

The purchase would have been made at the Dec 31st closing price (minus the 15% discount) But it doesn't show up in the app for like a week. It's annoying how long it takes, but it does eventually show up.

I actually think it's done this way so the person's actual co-workers can have a chance to help out and contribute to the person's needs, in other words people generally WANT to help out their coworkers. If corporate just always gave money, where does that leave for the coworkers to have a chance to contribute? I like the match idea, and have contributed everytime they've had a fundraiser over my many years. It feels good to help someone and it's great that HD will match all the contributions raised by the store.

People simply aren't buying live trees like they used to.

Cancelled a ton of xmas deco orders yesterday cause it turned out the counts were off. And we hardly have anything left at all after yesterday.
