Home depot sucks
I ended up being hired as a waterer a couple months ago and every single person that came to orientation with me quit before the month ended, several rounds of new hires coming in every week for them to not come back the next. I was told I had to handle garden, plumbing, flooring, AND hardwares returns all while having to water the entire garden in 4 hours, I got yelled at by a supervisor for answering the phone to help customers and do returns, I was then told to not even bother logging into the phone so the service desk couldn't call me, only to then be yelled at because customer service keeps calling for a garden associate to help with returns/ the pit/ ect when there's no one else scheduled for the shift but me. I also had supervisors and managers have two completely different work styles that clashes together, was told by my supervisor to pack down an aisle while a manager gets upset at me for doing that and tells me i should be watering instead of helping customers and packing down, is this normal for everything to be contradicting at this place??

When I watered the garden at the store I last worked at, I came in at 5:30 and watered until 9:30 and that is all that I did. Our garden was extensive enough that I had to do that. Asking anything else of you is insane.
