Home Services

Home Depot places great emphasis on its workforce. Our people set us apart from our competitors,” they brag. Sounding like an episode from the X-files, Bernie Marcus explains that “The Home Depot culture is passed on generation to generation of orange-blooded associates.

In other words, the company can let you go any time, without any justification or cause. The company’s termination policy also includes a reduction in force policy, in which an associate can be involuntarily discharged because the company is down-sizing. HD plans and schedules to keep RIF terminations to a minimum, the handbook explains.

Home Depot employees can also be subjected to substance abuse drug tests, and this extends to prescription drugs. Any employee who tests positive for a prescription drug–but does not have a written prescription, will be terminated.

HD employees must also agree to submit to a search of personal belongings while on company property. Each employee is issued a locker for storage of personal and company-issued equipment. Personal locks are prohibited. Home Depot reserves the right to search associate lockers.

Female employees at HD are allowed to wear skirts, but they cannot be shorter than three inches above the knee. Clothing which reveals midriffs, cleavage, or shoulders is not allowed. No spandex, or exercise clothes are allowed. No T-shirts are allowed.
