Awards
Been working at home Depot for four years and six months.
December 2020, one homer award. Everyone got one. (Rolls eyes)
Some servants like head Cashier MM, and cashier donita have an entire stack of homers
The bulletin board showed that lot attendant "x" got a homer award. Wtf has that boy done besides put the shopping carts in the wrong corrals, and work in Electrical and Customer service instead of the parking lot? Which boss told him to do that? He is not on "job shadow week". How many leads, credits and measures did that lil boy get?
Tattle tale tom got a homer award for Buddha knows what
Greg in hardware got "safety associate of the month". (Rolls eyes). Greg (unintentionally) knocked over the entire vending machine! Plenty of associates did not knock over the vending machine. Give them awards
Mark got "operations associate of the month". Mark are my granola bar
Meanwhile plenty of associates got bravos and homers for doing things I often do without reward. And they get away with doing things I don't get away with. For example, head cashier DF, sagging jeans.
Home depot servants make me wanna puke!
Cashier Janice keeps getting plenty of homer awards and Servant of the Month. Granted I don't know how many credits, Recoveries, leads and measures she has been accomplishing, but she has had the nerve to verbally snap at a lot of servants, including myself, for every slightest thing. I feel like her bad behavior should have gotten her made redundant a long time ago, but she is "in" with so many reptiles, some of which have termination authority. She's just so annoying
The same rodents keep getting homer awards.
head cashier DF got an award. she's been working there 11 years. when she calls on the walkie talkie, she is so annoying (rolls eyes). she keeps flapping her stupid lil trap until i answer. then when i call, sometimes she doesn't answer. she's just way too stupid. she's doing her best, but her best is not that great.
plenty of precious lil "people" having sex with the boss.
it is now august first.
why haven't the rodents @ home depot given me Servant of the Month, a homer award, or anything like that?
anthony rh got plenty of Bravo's but all he does is stand around flapping his trap about muay thai. (rolls eyes)

This is why I don't worry or care about any of that BS at my work. It's meaningless. I hear you though about having to put up with certain people, I should get an award for dealing with this one controlling boss wanna be beeotch in department.
I've never gotten anything despite being one of the better workers in my department but some of this goes back to the Peter Principle basically. Also, " It's not what you know, it's who you know"

cashier tamika got "operations servant of the month", even though she head cashier alfredo told tamika that tamika (and mark's) cash register was short $100.
tamika and mark are nice enough. glad they haven't gotten made redundant thus far.
greg got "safety servant of the month" even though (or maybe b/c) he pulled down an entire vending machine.
reptiles that have sex with the boss get awards. reptiles that do good, hard work, get nothing or get made redundant.
yesterday lot attendant chris g gave me a "bravo" award.
i've only gotten a couple of bravo awards:
meylin
marie
norman
asm smith
saleah
a lot from angela d but she gives a lot of bravo awards.
but it's just a "bravo", not a homer or "servant of the month". (rolls eyes) (puke)
anyone could give anyone else a "bravo" for anything. anyone could give an unlimited number of bravos.
every month, the bravos go in a raffle and one winner gets chosen to get a homer award.
but "bravos" do not have a currency and do not override "write ups" or anything like that.
(former) flooring associate john had a whole stack of homer awards and then he got made redundant.
that's the first time a lot attendant gave me a "bravo" award. in four years ten months
Former ASM LaMadio told Rafael that Rafael should have worn gloves. That could have been a Final Warning. Then Rafael got promoted to Supervisor and Safety Servant of the Month
ASM smith told Doan that Doan was not supposed to go shopping on the clock and it is Time Theft. Then Doan promoted to Supervisor
head cashier juan got a homer, operations servant of the month, and cashier of the month, all in one month. then supervisor angela w told juan that if he did something again, it's a write up. later, juan was trying to get behind the building and tried to climb the barbed wire fence. (safety violation, final warning).
la playveya has won servant of the month @ least 2x.
one time, i was trying to wash my face in the mirror and that stupid lil girl had the nerve to bark @ me in a self righteous, urgent, loud, rude manner.
(rolls eyes)
another time, she saw my granola bar (one buck) and said "finders keepers losers weepers). then i told her it was mine. then she went to mcdonalds and ate an entire meal. she and i both in the same pay grade. and she is not frugal or anything like that.
some of those idiots @ home depot make me wanna puke.
lot attendant chris g told head cashier DF that chris "deserved" a Bravo Award for doing (something).
df said "i got you" and smiled.
df and chris both get on my nerves. df says "huh" and "can you" and when she calls on the walkie talkie she keeps flapping her stupid lil trap until i answer. df swaggers and her voice doesn't sound good. she talks too informally.
_______________________
a couple years ago, DF was pro cashier and she told (former) pro supervisor sue that DF deserved a Bravo for cleaning a mess.
why do those idiots insist on getting Bravos for every slightest thing, and what is so great about bravos?
@ home depot, any insect could give any bacteria a Bravo award for doing anything (positive).
nobody has to document that someone did something per se.
almost nothing is quantified: exception: credits, leads, measures, recoveries. things like that.
some of the Bravos are really vague. for example, "hard work", "great customer service".
but i turned in a lost purse, which i could/should have kept for myself. (rolls eyes).
five days later, Customer Manager B still hasn't given me a Bravo award, much less a Homer or Servant of the Month.
unappreciated
he did say "thank you", but whatever.
i have not once gotten Servant of the Month.
Cashier JC, a 76 year old woman, told (former) pro supervisor MA, to get off a chair. MA refused. JC sat on her lap. a different day, Supervisor AW (JC's own boss), was sitting on a chair, JC told AW to get off, AW refused, JC sat on AW's lap. later, JC got "cashier of the month".
JM used to be Cashier, then got Cashier of the Month, Servant of the month, and promoted to head cashier, all in the same month. then JM tried (and failed) to climb a barbed wire fence. (that could have been a Safety Violation and Final Warning. i do not know if he got a Final Warning, but i find it hard to imagine.)
Assistant Manager DS told customer service associate D that D committed Time Theft by shopping on the clock. later, D got a promotion to Supervisor.
hardware associate GM pulled down the entire vending machine. the vending machine fell on the couch, which i often lie down on. thank buddha, it happened that i wasn't on the couch at that time. otherwise, the vending machine would've fallen on me.
head cashier A told Cashier TS that TS (and cashier MP's) register short one hundred bucks. then TS got cashier of the month.
lot attendant X wasted a lot of time and energy in other departments. then X got a Homer Award. later, someone said X got made redundant. have not seen him for a couple months.
____________________________________________________________
but, drumroll please, the Ultimate Winner:
Flooring Associate J worked there ten years and got plenty of Homers. Then one day he got made redundant. After that, he got Servant of the Month.

granted, i do not know everything relevant about the situation, but it appears to me, that the method of getting promotions and Servant of the Month:
sitting on boss's laps
pulling down vending machine
trying to climb barbed wire fence
getting made redundant
for a long time, i was trying to figure out what good and correct things servants that got awards and promotions allegedly did, and copy them. and what bad and wrong things servants that got made redundant allegedly did and do not do them. however, i am not willing to sit on precious lil "people's" laps. besides, even if i did sit on my boss's lap, she might react worse than the way she reacted when JC sat on her lap.
maybe the servants that are having sex with the boss get promotions and Servant of the Month.
not everyone that allegedly does (ABC) gets (DEF punishment) or (JKLreward).
the reward/punishment someone gets, has little or nothing to do with what they allegedly did. it has everything to do with which boss they having sex with.

metaphor and simile: home depot is just like "survivor island", in that contestants get told to do random, meaningless and useless tasks. winner determined not by effort, skill, or result. every week, someone gets voted off the island.
home depot different from "survivor island", in that home depot not so fascinating that it could be on tv (usually). and "survivor island" has a large $$$ prize while home depot's winner wins a minimum wage job.
