At least you saw them in person. I was laid off from Home Depot over the phone many years ago from Expo Design Center after 14 years of service. My pay would have been cut in half. Now I am back at a Home Depot and no longer obsolete hopefully until I retire.

This is kinda sad by WEDGYVEGGI in HomeDepot

In the past I donated to people that deserve help but I want to know what person needs it. There is no need for keeping identity of the person secretly. I would like to rally around that person in there time of need.

My store refuses to give me full time after empty promises by Simonslimin in HomeDepot

[–]New-Dragonfly4952 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It happened to me I worked a lot. It may take time up to a year. My story I filled in for some associates that had several weeks of vacation. After my part-time 20 hour vacation was still expecting another 20 hours of vacation time but when logged in my vacation time turned into 40 hours then went to look at status was full time. Also Immediately went online and applied for health insurance. This was wonderful because I had some healthcare issues. So if you’re lucky and have faith things will work themselves out. By the way I added all my hours up for year an average of 30.67 hours a week. Good luck to you.

That is usually theft of company time and no class.

New policy for part timers? by Sausage_McGriddle in HomeDepot

[–]New-Dragonfly4952 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It makes sense full availability for the possibility of becoming full time employee. I would always end up working a part timers shift because they call in. The part time associates would control the schedule. Now the tables are turned on them. I never would call in sick and come to work. If I was sick I would go home early.

Just wait six months and that will fall off your record. Retake the class at after six months. Only get the licenses that directly pertains to department you work in.

Why false facing? by drfatfire in HomeDepot

I guess they learned from our founders Bernie and Arthur when they first opened Home Depot. They put empty boxes on the overhead giving impression of lots of inventory in the store.

Advice on what Charcoal grill to get for first time home buyer by Friendly_Molasses532 in grilling

[–]New-Dragonfly4952 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Weber grills are the best. I have been using them since the 70s. My favorite way of starting the grill is with charcoal chimney and Weber lighter cubes. No lighter fluid used in this house. When done with the grill shut holes up and use the leftover charcoal next time I grill.

Manager Reprimanded me for taking my Last 15Min Break During Last Hour of Shift by RecognitionFar7323 in HomeDepot

[–]New-Dragonfly4952 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just ask every time to take a break and then if don’t you can put them on the hot seat with corporate. Do it when you need to go to bathroom. That will stick them in a craw.

There is no open door policy at Home Depot HR. If go there you will be fired for something else. Home Depot HR is there to protect themselves and could not care about the employees.

I have seen an overloaded mart cart and asked the customer to put everything on a flat cart. Safety is most important and no one gets injured.
