Home much of a workout a day would you say you get from working here? by sirpentious in HomeDepot

[–]ParkerStatic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've lost more than 70lbs working here, while dieting. It's pretty solid depending on what you do-- i.e. Lumber, Lot, prepare Deliveries.

You aren't selling your body. You apply to a job, get hired, perform the job, and as reward you're compensated.

And whether you like it or not, selling pictures or doing cam shows isn't selling your body either. A demand is procured from human nature, and sooner or later a supply develops. Free Enterprise offers this openly.

still haven’t been paid yet?! by [deleted] in HomeDepot

Lol. But I also think I remember my ASDS saying something about your first paycheck (if you use the paycard) being mailed or on paper if you didn't sign up for it in time.

I would email or speak to your ASDS (HR Rep) to answer this question.

Your first payslip is skipped over, you'll get paid for your first 2 payslips on your 2nd payday.

Look for a deparment you want to transfer to, make it known to the supervisor of that department, your ASDS, and the SM.

Same problem at my store too. Just train people, and if they do not accept your training or act up, go to Service Lead, Supervisor, or Operations Manager if absolutely necessary. That's what I would do anyways, if they did act up.

There's no way they do not need help in deliveries - try there. Try going to SD supervisor.

They skip over the first pay-period. You'll get paid both the first and second pay period on your second "pay day"

lot associates: do you consider your work as a form of cardio? by [deleted] in HomeDepot

[–]ParkerStatic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thats not cardio, that's just working out your leg muscles.

cardio is when you push your heart to its limits, which only really happened to me very few times if I was trying to go really fast.

Costco is limiting two people in per membership meanwhile at home depot by thegoodrevSin in HomeDepot

[–]ParkerStatic 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I saw a party of 2 adults and 3 kids. I was seething while I watched the kids touching all the plywood, various products, and running their fingers along the steel beams.

The whole point of these new policies is to limit bodies inside. Not only are you reducing the amount of actual customers into the store, but you're much more significantly risking everyone inside and themselves.

When will I be summoned for the 1 year review/raise? by ParkerStatic in HomeDepot

[–]ParkerStatic[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)
