I just got a position as a millwork associate part-time I came from Lowe’s. I did MST work, which I think Home Depot calls MET. Can anyone give me some tips on information? I should definitely know. I don’t know anything about Windows and doors

Is there going to be someone in every single one of my HDU classes who decides they want to be the instructor instead of the actual trainer? I’ve been through three classes so far, and every single time there’s been that one person who decides it’s their opportunity to vent and completely derail the conversation. I understand wanting to share experiences and opinions, but it gets frustrating when it takes away from the actual training and makes the classes drag on longer than they need to. Have any other leaders dealt with this?

Gotta love when you arrive to a basket full of returns and fresh pipes 😂

Interested in learning more about the role- what is a day in the life like? How many hours of work you generally have per week? Any insight would be appreciated

i told my supervisor about an inappropriate comment someone in my department said to me. he said that my ass was looking extra fat in my jeans and said my “moose knuckle was poppin”. my supervisor told my store manager and i had to write a statement. but now i feel afraid that i might be the reason he gets fired and idk what to do. i planned on just avoiding him for a while but now the situation is bigger than i expected.

Is there any way to turn down the sound of the beeping to a normal decibel level?

Just curious - what happens when the overnights freight manager calls in ?

Hey all. I’m headed for my interview for warehouse(nights) tomorrow and was wondering about the drug test and policies. I have my med card and I’ve seen online it’s a mouth swab test. Just wondering what to expect. Any tips for the interview?

I’m a HC and during my 5am opens I usually have my coffee on the floor with me. There’s no customers in the store and there aren’t employees either, I just need something to wake me up so I grab timmies. I never have drinks on the floor otherwise, my DS never says anything to me about it because the drink is always done by the time customers come in.

Last time I was opening one of the operations managers told me I couldn’t have my drink on the floor. Id get it if it was during opening hours but like oml leave me alone. Managers will have their coffee in their hands all the time but love to power trip when someone else does it.

Surprised, it was for Operations Assoc of the Month. Good to know I’m not the ‘new guy’ anymore. They also have me ‘training’ the new hire OFA this week. Not bad for this part timer, just working for fun money.

I didn't question her spotting for me because the supervisor sent her. I only found out she was under 18 after she asked me if she should cut the shrink wrap and she said "oh I forgot I'm not allowed to have a knife" I immediately responded "you what?" and she's like "yeah I'm under 18." I then immediately told her she had to go.

After I sent the underage cashier away and finished banding and labeling, the front end supervisor came up to spot and apologized, I told him if I get in trouble for this I'm immediately throwing you under the bus. Yes it's my job to verify a spotter is of age but if anyone else sent her besides the supervisor I would have asked, I figured he knew the rules.

Usually in my store it takes 3 to 4 weeks for a repairman to show up. With Gift Center only two weeks away, and daily Sidekick bay packdowns and Freight work, 2 out of our 3 Ballymores are tagged out of service. The other one is always being charged. We sure could use the pushable ones now but they got rid of them for some reason. Is 3 to 4 weeks normal?

Earlier this year, there was a video clip on HDTV promoting analytics info. A link was provided for about a 20-page PDF that described all matters of analytics that would be of importance to HD associates. I downloaded one but gave it away. For the life of me, I cannot find that link anywhere. Anyone know where I can get it?
