constantly afraid of getting made redundant

Post Reply New Topic

that stupid lil girl, front end supervisor angela w, only interacts with me when she is telling me what to do or telling me off.

every time she thinks i did something, wrong, she overreacts, without even considering the whole story.

she has made plenty of bad and wrong actions and statements but hasn't gotten "held accountable". she doesn't apologize. she doesn't have "excuse me" or "sorry" in her vocab.

her IQ score so low, she should be prohibited from leadership positions. her IQ score lower than my shoe size.

Today supervisor Angela w had the nerve to call a lot attendant on the walkie talkie and I came. She said that the freezer was under fifty pounds but I pointed out the box said 66 pounds. She had the nerve to tell me to do a team lift. I told her that former ASM Javier said that if it is over fifty pounds, no matter how many people are touching it, I don't touch it. Angela had the nerve to tell me that "we are going to have to revisit the doctors note because if it's a team lift, you should be able to lift over fifty pounds.". As usual, I failed to tattle on the stupid lil girl in real time, because I was afraid she would have had the nerve to make my worthless corpse redundant. Another lot attendant and I did a team lift.

Tomorrow I am not scheduled to work and I am going to write my sister an email. She used to be a medical doctor

Friday when I am scheduled to work, I am going to tattle to ASM gabe, human resources, or manager Cristina.

Angela w is way too concerned about what "should" happen, but maybe she "should " have gotten made redundant a long time ago and home Depot should have made her write me a letter of apology and post it in the hallway

Stupid lil girl!

Today head cashier Juan had the nerve to tell me to push seven shopping carts from the garbage pile to Receiving in ten minutes and when I told him I was too old and fat to do that he said, "ok, 30 minutes "

I took 70 minutes and he didn't remark on it but I am constantly afraid of getting made redundant for working "too slowly" or any other reason

high turnover

don't know which servants got made redundant and which ones just quit.

although john v told OFA lead dave that john got written up for allegedly violating safety policies.

whatever.

the whole thing is like "survivor island". "survival of the fittest". it's like a game or something.

Yesterday head cashier Juan had the nerve to tell me to sweep the contractor entrance in fifteen minutes and then I did and then told him I was on break and he had the nerve to tell me that I did not finish and after break he had the nerve to tell me to finish

Am I going to get made redundant for working too slowly?

Besides even if I were to have done it as fast as he had the nerve to tell me, he could have then told me to do it in five minutes

Sometimes I wonder if they are trying to get servants to quit so they don't have to pay Unemployment or anything like that

I strongly suggest that there are underlying issues and ulterior motives going on here

it reminds me of how, in 2012, i overheard a career counselor tell another client, that "if the boss says you are made redundant, you are redundant. if your coworker says you are redundant, you are not redundant, but that is just my opinion and i have to go back to work right now." in other words, the client's coworker had a legal and moral "right" to tell the client that the client was made redundant, but the client's coworker did not have a "right" to actually make the client redundant per se. (semantics and pragmatics).

it reminds me of how, september 2023 (or so), tattletale tom had the nerve to bark @ me "why are you here? you push a couple carts and you disappear. if you don't wanna work here, work somewhere else!". after that, that stupid lil boy hasn't had the nerve to bark @ me like that, but he didn't apologize either, and he still works there. there is nothing that prevents that stupid lil boy (or any other staffer, customer, or any other rodent), from telling me whatever they want. ("freedom of speech") (rolls eyes) (puke)

maybe when i tattled a couple months ago to ASM Gabe, he told head cashier angela d to stop giving me time limits on chores. it never occurred to gabriel to tell *ALL* the stupid lil head cashiers, not just the one that had the nerve to tell me time limits. ("miscommunication"). gabriel should've put signs on the registers telling head cashiers not to give lot attendants "time limits". (stupid lil boy!)

On days off work, when I can login to the portal it means that home Depot has not yet made me redundant

Then I check write ups

You seem to be working incredibly hard while surrounded by people who are... not so earnest, shortfatbalduglyman. They'd be very silly to get rid of you.

It doesn't seem like a particularly rational place, however.

'If they behaved well you'd be fine' is no comfort, I know.

kuen

home depot can do anything it wants, legal or illegal, and nobody can do anything about it, short of winning a civil lawsuit.

whether or not something is "silly" has nothing to do with anything.

a couple months ago, Lot Attendant John worked there janulary 2025 to july 2025. one time, supervisor angela and head cashier angela had the nerve to put on "smoke and mirrors" because they couldn't find him in the parking lot. head cashier angela had the nerve to ask me two times if i had seen john and i said no. head cashier angela had the nerve to photograph a cart with sod in it (what is she, a forensic scientist, a crime scene investigator?) (rolls eyes) (puke). then she had the nerve to call john to the assistant managers office. a couple weeks later, the angelas could not find john in the parking lot again and they called him to the assistant managers office again. didn't see john after that.

john was the best lot attendant. (roy might be an exception). not once did he make comments about my performance. he asked "how are you with heavy lifting?". he did not say "i am not a slave", like last year lot attendant justin. nor did he put on a temper tantrum like tattletale tom. nor did he leave home depot while clocked in, like jamiel. nor did he sit in the lockerroom sleeping while clocked in like Adam S. nor did he stand around flapping his stupid lil trap like Adam W. nor did he sit on the picnic table half his shifts like lazy boy steve.

_______________________________________________________________

one time, when i clocked in, the time clock made a "buzzard" sound and i thought i was made redundant, but i just typed the wrong number. (i thought that home depot had the nerve to make my worthless corpse redundant and didn't tell me. and the only way that i could know that i was made redundant was that i would not be able to clock in).

stupid lil ASM javier

stupid lil ASM gabriel

stupid lil angela w, former front end supervisor

stupid lil angea d, head cashier

they should've gotten made redundant a long time ago.

yesterday, i thought the stupid lil girl head cashier angela d told me to sweep, so i swept. and then while i was trying to sweep, the stupid lil girl had the nerve to come ask me "who put you up to this?". and i told her i thought she told me to sweep. and she had the nerve to deny it. "i'm sorry. i misunderstood," i said.

the stupid lil girl had the nerve to bark @ me out of control. she grotesquely overreacted. like a catharsis. totally out of proportion. and that was just her "freedom of speech". i was briefly afraid of getting made redundant, but i did not get made redundant.

with stupid lil girl angela d, it's like "every straw must be the last." she has the nerve to expect and demand perfection, to her standards, @ all times.

she's just like an off leash dog. WHEN dogs have the nerve to bite me, they physically injure me, and i am terrified of them. however, a dog is just a dog. it is just being "true" to itself. it is not "morally" good or bad. it is just a dog. when dogs have the nerve to bite me, i blame the OWNER, not the DOG.

likewise, blame ASM gabriel for failure to make the stupid lil girl redundant a long time ago.

every time a supervisor or head cashier has the nerve to tell me that i did something "wrong" or "bad" (even if i didn't do it and it's on videotape), i am terrfied of getting made redundant.

those idiots have been going out of their way to actively look for excuses to make my worthless corpse redundant. they have been doing that since december 2024 and it is now december 2025 and they have not yet succeeded. but if they keep trying, sooner or later, they will succeed. ("at will") employer.

according to some articles (which might not be correct or current), plenty of software engineers have been getting made redundant lately.

granted, more job skills is better than zero job skills. all things equal. but not all things are equal. and maybe things are not really "that much better" for white collared or STEM professionals, than minimum wage servants like my own worthless corpse.

so whatever.

according to some articles, there is no such thing as "job security" anymore.

Why won't you look for a new job?

That all sounds awful, and also sounds like you're worried about losing the job anyways because of those jerks. I don't think you deserve any of that, but it is what it is, and it doesn't seem like there is anyone higher up you can go to that's willing to help you.

Aren't there any other like hardware stores or gardening center type places besides home depot where you live? You'd have plenty of experience for any job like that but might find better coworkers.

Sweet leaf

I got the feeling that, there are not that many jobs that will make the mistake of hiring my worthless corpse. (Unstable work history). And especially in the current economy,vits hard for anyone to get a job. But of the jobs willing to hire me, I don't think that many (or maybe none) of them are better than home Depot

Restaurant retail sales jobs tend to micromanage

And if I left a job every time things went south, that's "job hopping"
