The Home Depot - You can do it. We can help.

Help increase the unemployment rate, maybe. 750 layoffs will save The Home Depot an estimated 18 million dollars per year. Less than one tenth of the $200 million severance package given to the CEO earlier this year.

    Just about every call center in the bay area is hiring though. If you want phone work for about $30k/year check out USAA on Fletcher, UPS on 301, Verizon and Verizon wireless, B of A, Progressive, and Disney, all of which are running call centers here that I know are hiring right now.

    Please don’t bother me with trivia when I am consumed with the LaFave and Sierra news. Where are your priorities ?

    The best way to get to Home Depot is to shop at Lowe’s

    Even better way to get Home Depot is go to a local hardware store, or fence company or shed company or plant nursery…etc.

    They are closing the store in Brandon, all 750 employees were employed there.

    Be very careful how you attack corporate America, sir. They are a protected and privileged class and little people are not permitted to
    criticize. You may very well be labeled unpatriotic.
