Home Depot
Employee reports staff cutbacks and random schedules since 2011

I would like to let all customers know that, as a long-time employee of Home Depot, I have never seen so much lack of respect, harassment and actual disdain for Home Depot's employees. Since early fall of 2011, Home Depot has cut back or laid off most of its part-time employees, cut back on its on-hand stock, lowered the quality of its products and pretty much tried to drive the quality employees to quit. Of course, these are employees who are making decent wages. Hmmmm?

The quality of assistant managers has reached an all-time low. Hourly scheduling is no longer handled at the store level but rather online from the Atlanta, GA home office. To cover the lack of employees, HD is pulling full-time employees from all other departments and "forcing" them to work in other departments on random schedules, with a love-it-or-leave-it attitude.

This is not a quality or career place to work anymore! Through the grapevine, we have heard that Home Depot has hired some ex-Walmart executives. If true, it is no wonder the stores are going downhill.
