Just got fired yesterday from Home Depot!!!!

haddrd in Houma, Louisiana said: Yeah, kiss alot of ass if you expect to make it at home depot. That's one thing I couldn't stand about that job.

Without a union I think ass kissing is normal procedure just about anywhere you work. Personally I think most companies should be union, not necessarily for higher wages but so workers will have a little dignity on the job and not worry about being fired if you don't kiss ass.

join on facebook Home Depot Targets....i was a victim after 14 yrs

I worked for Home Depot for 14 years and was set up by management falsly accused and fired without explanation. I was making $23 hour and im over 50...and I agree there is much foul play going on at Home Depot every day. i too believe that the company is targeting individuals making money...and yes i know the policies because i was management...Home depots policies were made so vauge so that they can get rid of any one they want...I as a manager was asked to participate in the policy steam roller many times and refused...meaning set up associates according to policy to get rid of then because they were not liked or made too much money. I believe my refusals over the years to not participate made others uncomfortable that along with my age and income was seen as expendable...they fired you for bull..every manager in the company has done or dose on a daiuly basis exactly what you did...Home depot policies are made to suite Home depot when they choose or who they choose.If you are on facebook join Johnny Fired on Home Depot Targets...I believe you all and want your stories told...and I believe that if we get this out Legal people wanna hear it too.

tarheel00 in Batavia, Ohio said: If you worked there for 4+ years, you should know that you can't leave the property while you are on the clock. That is told to new associates at Orientation. Don't blame other people for the fact that you broke a clearly written and explained rule!

leaving the property or breaking a small rule is not a good reason to be fired.
Working retail sucks no matter where it is.
Managers are A-holes, that's just the way it is.
I retired from General Motors and worked at Lowe's for about 2 months, I quit when they were not willing to work with me concerning my work schedule. It's their way or no way.

The problem is people need their jobs and employers control a big part of your life like it or not. Even if you quit a job the employer has the ability to give you a bad report to a prospective employer. The private employers are way worse than the government when it comes to having control over people. Directly or indirectly.

People will never organize a labor union in retail but that's what needs to happen.
People are stupid and if they don't have the balls to stand up to their employer or attempt to organize they deserve what they get. Without a union get used to doing a lot of ass kissing.
