    She must work at the Home Depot location I worked at for awhile. It was a particularly crappy and miserable experience, and I usually refer to my time at HD as the second worst job I ever had. The management culture was absolutely toxic and they treated low-level employees with unfiltered contempt. To this day I avoid the place as much as I can.

      A friend of mine worked in home depot, there was an old guy who worked there, loved to sexually harass younger women. They complained, multiple times, raised the issue higher in corporate. Corporate came down and declared it a “he said she said” situation even with multiple complaints, one of them being a customer. Did nothing, old guy got worse when he realized he could get away with it.

      More complaints, woman who made the newest complaint got a talking to for bringing up a situation that had been settled.

      It’s just hardware retail in general. I still roll my eyes, years later, when I think about the idiotic morning meetings we just had to have at lowe’s. It was always the same: store manager desperately telling us in a faux cheery voice to push for ‘people to get the credit card!’ I worked in the outside garden area, and was amazed that they made the concession of giving us cold water… after an employee collapsed during the summer.
