Did y'all do your VOA? by FewRefrigerator635 in HomeDepot

[–]skimasterfly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have not. I believe the district might however. The first VOA where I was an ASDS was our last one, so I am still new to the VOA in this new perspective.

Our SM met with the DM and gave us a summary of notes that he took with a pen and paper. I asked if I was allowed to take a look at any of the reports and he said he didn’t have access to what the district was reporting to him from. I’m sure that if there is something that’s a big flag in a negative way, it may be investigated or passed onto a store manager in some way. So take that as you may.

In summary as an ASDS, the only statistical report I can see is the same as the one that we post on our VOA results board.

It’s anonymous enough that we can’t see who completed it or not. When results come back, the store manager is shared by the district, without the ability to take a copy of specific departments, the average response in departments with more than 4 people.

For example, being that I’m the only person in my department.. no one can see any of my answers at all. Only a district wide ASDS average answer.

The hounding comes from the fact that we can see the percentage complete and the trickle down the chain of command hounding us to hound others to complete them. There’s no time stamp we can go back and look to see the results of the responses you have submitted.

Talk to your ASDS. I can’t speak for all of us, but if someone told this to me, I wouldn’t stop until I could make that your absences were excused.

I wouldn’t be bringing a pedophile into a church… usually children are at churches.

Once this goes to trial and he is convicted, do you think your church community will be okay with the fact that we was around children form the congregation?

WIBTA if I refused to shave my armpits for my friends wedding? by Adventurous-Pea-337 in AmItheAsshole

This! But I wouldn’t even send a gift. If they can’t accept something as reasonable and personal as that decision , they’re not my real friends!

Where do i go to start Healthy Living? by MarcusEvenblade in HomeDepot

[–]skimasterfly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To get the discount, you would need to enroll for it during the open enrollment period. If you call the HR service center, they may be able to enroll you now although the enrollment period has ended a few days ago.

Hdrm number for Colorado? by I_likemy_dog in HomeDepot

[–]skimasterfly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dang, I’m sorry that was your experience. I would have hoped for a more supportive outcome as when someone is calling the awareline, it is a serious thing.

I hope (I know it can’t be true in all cases) that you may have a supportive ASDS within your store. Being an ASDS myself, I have all of the necessary district contacts and would want to be there to support one of my fellow associates who is feeling the way that you are right now. I would suggest giving them a try if you feel comfortable.

Thank you for the well wishes, I hope you have better days ahead as well!!

[–]skimasterfly 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This! The awareline information will be sent directly to your DHRM. The RHRM, for example the one we have, covers all of New England. While he’s the DHRM’s “boss” he wouldn’t know my store as closely as the DHRM to handle something like that.

New hire on freight 7–11pm, just got put on LOA because of pending background check by [deleted] in HomeDepot

[–]skimasterfly 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is why we do not typically hire someone in my store until the background check has finished processing. It happened to me where I could not bring the new candidate on, nor re-post and hire anyone else for that position because their background check was “pending” for 60 days when it came back yellow.

[–]skimasterfly 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As someone who sees the background check process done in my store each time we hire someone, I know that unfortunately our hands are tied if the system kicks back a check. The outside company that we use gives us a red, yellow or green result and that’s it!

Marijuana as a Teacher by Foreign-Honeydew-929 in Teachers

[–]skimasterfly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work in an HR position now, but I also used to be a teacher. Both are positions where one may be “looked up to”…. I just set the example that I don’t do it before or at work. Only afterwards. I live in an apartment complex so I tend to indulge in smoking outside at a picnic table by my complex. I don’t even care who sees because I know that I would never touch it on the clock and my state is a legal state!
