The Home Depot layoffs

[Kioshi]

For any Home Depot employees here...all i know is (around my area at least) stricter regulation of lunches, breaks and punching in-out is being monitored. Before my managers were lenient, now they aren't :(...I usually take advantage of the 6 minute grace period at my job most of the time haha..

Probably a good idea to use that grace period as infrequently as possible. Where I work we are being observed and monitored for slacking and raising hell. Management is already restricting purchases above fifty bucks. They are also shuffling folks around, at first voluntarily and then they'll make folks go.

They offered work in other areas, some of which I've been trying to get into for over a year. I told one of my coworkers, "Christmas came early this year".

I don't take anything for granted now. Things are too unpredictable, and I remember the recession of 1982, handing out resumes by the stackfull and then waiting by the phone like the Maytag repairman. Screw that.

My store has been the same. We are a C volume store, so management has time to be fanatical about punch in punch out regs. I'm the guy that's always early, skips breaks and meal periods so that I can split early. These days no can do. Now with the bomb that has been droped, I can only see it getting tighter on day to day SOP. Who knows what is going to happen, but I know everyone here is walking on egg shels.
