>>I don’t know if they are union, but they act like they’re fresh off the picket line.

Actually, it’s the opposite. HD got a new CEO a while back who turned the company into pure hell for store employees and the company began to have serious problems because he destroyed their can-do attitude. A culture was created and frozen in place. He was replaced and now his successor is having to find ways to create the change necessary to bring the company back in line with the image they want to portray to the customer.

It’s a well-cited case in recent business textbooks to demonstrate how a good business decision, numbers-wise, can be disastrous and how much it costs to effect change to recover from that kind of bean counter management.

Thanks for that, I knew something was wrong, but not the cause, so I stuck with the effects.

...

Was that Nardelli, who was paid $210 million as severance for doing such a horrible job?

I don’t know how your HD is, or you even go to them anymore, but I hate going to the ones around me. Aside from having a hard time finding someone to help me, especially in paint, I get made them they just driving their heavy fork lift down an aisle and chase everyone away to do this, and then take about 10 minutes to do whatever they came down there to do.
