They must not know that its not 'Home Depot'
Home Depot, the Company, owns it. So yes, Home Depot laid people off. U should see their compensation package... 4 months 100 percent of wages.

[DelSlow]

So 4 months of $9.50/hr (if that?) for 40 hrs a week?

[Joel]

9.50? right... I think cashiers get paid around that. Everyone else makes quite a bit more. And yes, thats a lot more than most people get. (2 months of 60 percent of your wages)

wait so me getting laid off along with the other 90% of my co-workers getting laid off, is a sign of the economy getting better?

[DelSlow]

Yes.

The slight bounce in the consumer confidence...hate to break it to you, but it probably is. Whether it is justified or not is another story.

In all honesty, I had no thoughts about that at all. More interested in the fact it is happening, not who is responsible at this point. The numbers are the important part.

Maybe weaker profit margins didn't do anything for bottom line growth?

One month of 1% revenue growth isn't going to bring any unemployed people back to the workforce.

I work at Hebron which obviously has to do with the building/housing market for the most part and we are always slow during the winter however this was by far the slowest yet.... They even stopped matching our 401k til 2010... But the President of the company also told me they are expecting it to pick back up as early as spring of 2010.
