What a great day before Valentine's gift: getting laid off. At least we made the paper!
"ADDISON – About 550 Home Depot employees will lose their jobs when a call center closes on March 12, the company said this week.
The center, which opened in May 2006, had assisted customers who purchased floors through the Home Depot, said Ron DeFeo, a company spokesman. Local store associates would respond to flooring questions once the call center closes.
“As we continue improve the customer experience in our stores, we felt it was a priority to restore that customer-associate relationship,” he said.
The Home Depot has about a dozen call centers, including one in Dallas and New Braunfels. Those centers will remain open, Mr. DeFeo said.
Associates will be compensated for 60 days following their departure, the company said in a statement. The company said it was also helping employees with job placement.
The company announced its decision during a staff meeting on Tuesday."

I wonder if it has anything to do with the CEO who left a couple months ago with a 200 million dollar bonus ?
