Life Anyone ever work at Home Depot?

millz · 11-11-2014, 07:52 PM

Starting first night shift in about an hour or so, freight team.

Really nervous, anyone ever work there or still do? It's only part time and just to get some $ on the side.

Why would you be nervous about a job at ****ing Home Depot? Is it your first job?

This is not how real life works. You have a better chance to achieve the end result threw a aggressive take over

I don't want to aggressively take over a golf course. I'll just pay my greens fee.

In 1986 Tommy Lee Jones made a movie called The Park is Mine. It shows you exactly how to take over that course.

This is also good advice. I would address Sodomy in your tenure as Assistant Store Manager. It will show how much you care about safety and how it affects the bottom line.

There are whole websites dedicated to Home Depot stories. Here's one for you since you will be moving stuff.

I was talking with an associate today at home depot who was just finishing up moving a ton of new appliances to the floor. We talked about how much work it was to move them all and how many there were for the new appliance initiative. He told me that they were supposed to be taken to a storage trailer but that the trailers weren't there yet so a manager told him to put them all on the sales floor. Just as the last appliance had been brought out from receiving.....guess what? The trailers showed up......guess what? All the appliances that had just been moved got moved again.

Good point. This seems like a District logistical problem. This will be best addressed during your tenure of District Manager or Regional VP. Redirecting floor planning and truck routes might require a bit more pull.

So?

Why don't people realize they get paid to do what they are told? I don't care if I tell you to dig a hole and then fill it in, I'm the one writing the checks, when you start then you can bitch.
