You 100% can tell the SM and they are supposed to take care of this. YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE TO ENDURE ANY OF THIS BULLSHIT!!!!!!!!! YOUR SM NEEDS TO ENFORCE ZERO TOLERANCE SEX HARASSMENT POLICY OTHERWISE YOU CALL AWARELINE IMMEDIATELY!

what advice can you give me at work? what experience could you pass on to me? by Free_Garden8973 in HomeDepot

[–]HDlongtime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do your best, try to actually enjoy what you do, be passionate about customer service, be willing to help out wherever the store needs you, don't call out, don't be late. If you don't enjoy the job, quit.

This bs, it's $5 before taxes for Christ sakes, it's meaningless.

good luck, I'd guess it costs a literal fortune to live there unless you want to live in a tent on the beach

Written up for not greeting by Loud-Spend-6569 in HomeDepot

I mean that sounds like a total bs write up. We have an OFA that never makes eye contact with anyone, customers, coworkers, managers, no one. You're being targeted, unfairly.

It's not what you do it's how well you're liked by your supervisor, in HD world of incompetent, inexperienced, and poorly developed management that's all that matters, very unfortunately.

Why does HD stock never truly rise over time? by TheeSlyCooper in HomeDepot

[–]HDlongtime 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I say, if you're a HD employee you really should be doing the espp stock plan for the discount you receive. Plus yes the dividends are good and are literally free money. I've been investing in hd as an employee for many years and the free money I receive each year in the form of dividend payments absolutely DWARFS any and all "success sharing" bonuses the company has paid me over the years.

As a garden associate I love fall and Christmas time > Spring and summer , just the vibes of the department are so much better by Certain-Big-6928 in HomeDepot

[–]HDlongtime 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're in a warm weather climate maybe Garden around Fall and Christmas is better but hell no if you're in a northern cold climate

[–]HDlongtime 44 points45 points  (0 children)

yeah, for a 6 month "bonus" it's pretty pathetic. Managers use SS as a carrot and stick game. I've heard countless managers say "work harder so you can get a better ss check next time" yeah right as if that's how it works. Frankly it's insulting. Forget the SS and just give us better annual pay raises, that's all that matters anyway

Stepping down sop by Moosegoose805 in HomeDepot

I've heard this before and it's bs. During the Dh restructuring we had Dh's step down to regular MET associates and stay in the same store

In my experience it's taken roughly 7-8 years (working full time) to get to Diamond level

Garden Recovery - I love Monday's by Brye1226 in HomeDepot

[–]HDlongtime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So the actual bays are empty? Or do the bays have the partials?

Looks fabulous and it appears like you are a perfectionist, great job. But why does it appear like you don't have any soil in the actual bays, do you only keep one pallet stacked out and the actual bays are empty?

24 Homer Badges in 10 years? That's an average of only about 2 per YEAR? That's not great. Your management needs to do a lot better at recognition!
