r/HomeDepot

From my time being at Home Depot, I feel sorry for any DH that's responsible for Hardware and Lumber. I see ours constantly running back and forth between unlocking tools and cutting wood at the saw. The crazy amount of SKUs in hardware combined with the physical labor in lumber beats up the mind and the body. Not to mention there's a call out everyday in lumber.

I've seen this man drink 2 pots of coffee and smoke a pack in a day on his breaks if he even takes them.

I was told I said I'd burn the building down with everyone in it.

I would never, ever say or think that. I'm not capable of that.

I'm so afraid. This is a serious charge besides the loss of employment.

If I said anything remotely close to it, it had to regard the waste gasoline can in the very small tech room. Which is incredibly dangerous and scares me every shift.

It now feels like I'm a dead man walking.

I'm waiting to hear from Atlanta. I'd hope they call soon.

I do not wish harm upon anyone. But have pointed out the danger posed by the conditions in which I'm forced to work.

Does anyone have any advice? I think I need to lawyer up. My time here is now quite limited regardless of the investigation results.

I've done so much. Improved so much. Tried to make myself irreplaceable.

Now this accusation has the potential to ruin my employment and life. It's horrifying.

Help please

is it just being polite and checking up on you? or can they actually rearrange your schedule after it's been set, because you're calling out due to circumstances

For reference, I’m (21F) and she’s around her late 60s I just started as a PASA two months ago and this lady we’ll call her Karen thinks she runs the place. She’s in no high-ranking position. She’s a PASA just like me and she makes every day that I work with her hell. I have to walk on eggshells around her every day. I have to tell her exactly what I’m doing if I’m leaving or going to another station. She’ll come over and correct me on everything that I’m doing. I even offered to cover her while she went on. Her break trying to be nice and she came back and said. “ I know you’re young and naïve and you don’t understand things, but what you said to me was rude. But I appreciate your head, strong attitude.” which I have no idea wtf she was talking about since I only offered to cover her for her break. I work with her every single day and she gets on other people’s nerves as well. I had my own manager tell me that she’d will try and boss him around my question is what do I do? I’m getting fed up and thinking about switching departments. It’s just a job I don’t wanna have to deal with this drama.

I just found out I won the associate sweepstakes and get tickets to a game. Only problem is I don't live close to any games and I wasn't expecting to win. Also flight prices are ridiculous.

Anyone know who I can contact about this? That way maybe someone else could get a chance.

TIA

Hi I recently got the offer to join the team I have an orientation coming soon what is best appropriate men’s outfit should I wear that would pass as serious candidate. Thanks for info if you have any

MODS PLZ DONT BAN ME🙏 I posted this on my alt In accident and it got removed.

I started working at Home Depot a few months ago. Everything seemed fine other than they didn’t train me for shit. Watched the videos and went straight to solo shifts. But that’s not what I’m asking abt. Today I had an issue with the scheduling app and couldn’t get in. I was 99% sure I closed so I came in at closing. Turns out I was wrong and was 5 hours late. Everywhere else I worked if I was late they’d call me to ask if I was ok etc. I got nothing. Is that normal?

I work full time in Lumber plus every other weekend I work 20 or so hours for a part time job. So I dont get alot of days off a month and also work weeks straight before I do.

But when the Lot Guy is gone on vacation for a week guess what? I get pulled and scheduled to do it. Garden Loader gone? Schedule me to do it. Order Puller gone? Schedule me to do it.

I dont mind hard work, Im just annoyed that everyone else gets a pass from the disruption because they complain that their knees or feet hurt or they cant climb up a orange ladder. Well, Im f'n hurting too! Do I litterally need to get a Doctors note to break free from the Able Body Curse?

And on a whole other note on hired associates who out right refuse to get any kind of operator license. Honestly what is the point!!? I don't get paid any more! I get bitched by everyone and their f***ing mother over the radio to get on a lift to do this or that. And I am taking all the safety responsibility. Shouldn't I be getting paid like 10$ more then old knees Gary or Midget Ann or whoever the f*** that take ZERO RISK at all and are never in a position to ever make a mistake to get fired?

Im done, I dont want to do it anymore. I want to come to work and get paid to fart around too! My feet, my knees!

Has anybody had their raises yet?

Soooo someone’s great dumbass idea of our associates for D38 decided to bring s haunted cursed item or doll and place it hidden in the store while nobody knew anything until i heard someone from our freight team members tell me as a report shit has been happening really bad lately our store has been having insane shit ton of activity doors slamming by themselves shopping carts moving on their own left and right and back items being thrown randomly and loud banging by the garden center and receiving lights flickering and shit moving on their own

This has never happened before but now that I gotten a investigated report that someone brought something it hasn’t been the same anymore not sure what to do I spoke with asset protection and district manager about this situation to figure out where to sweep find that stupid item or whatever it is

Even though if it were to be found and destroyed or taken far away I believe shit like this won’t stop happening either way one of my freight associates came on telling me that they told them not to say anything but keep it hidden to see what happens supposedly now shit is scarier than my old grandmothers old home…

Whats you’re guys opinions on this have anyone of yall had this happen to you’re store at all?
