Home depot is the most depressing of hardware stores. I wouldn't want to work there even if what this fake ass post says is true.
Also $17/hr is shit pay. You can't even rent an apartment at $17/hr.
I'm renting an apartment at $16 move to a better area.
Surely they need to move to a shitter area.
Assuming lower cost of living means shittier is very home country of you.

I worked at the tire center in wal-mart when I was in college. To accomodate my school schedule I started at 2 in the afternoon and worked until the tire center closed. Then I was supposed to work with the people inside doing whatever they did for the last few hours. They never actually told me who to report to or what I was supposed to be doing for the last 3 hours so I would just go sleep in my car then go back in and clock out at the end of my shift. I did this for like 9 months and no one ever questioned me.

So this is why when I come in for the morning shift nothing has been done.
This was how it was in the good old days working third shift at Walmarts back when they closed at like 9-10pm. You were just there to unload the trucks and restock the shelves, so our store would put the peddle down and be finished at 3-4 in the morning. Our shift was until 7am so we'd typical goof off playing video games in the electronics department or watching movies.
Getting paid to be there through the night for the times when a person is actually needed, as well as being on site to keep an eye on things. Sounds like honest work to me
That's basically it. They're just there just in case they're needed and many people actually can't stand working like that. There are a ton of jobs where someone only needs to be there just so any potential work gets done right away. But it's shocking how few people actually enjoy getting paid to do nothing most of the time. It definitely takes a certain mindset.
I work a similar job right now. I'm support in a factory. I show up to work with the expectation that I'll only actually be working for maybe about 20-30% of my shift. If a machine needs attention or a production coworker has a question then I deal with it, otherwise I read a book. Whenever one of our production workers gets promoted to support, it always takes them months to get used to not working. They always start out trying to take literally every call just to have work to do and nervously twiddling their thumbs while staring into space at their desk when they don't. Eventually they start pulling out their phone but they always look so guilty about it and hide it as soon as a boss walks by. And these are internal hires who even have the advantage of having personally watched me fucking around on my phone sending memes to my boss all day at work every day without issue. We actually just lost an external hire maintenance guy because he was constantly woried that he wasn't doing enough work and was going to get fired.
That's a failure of management.
Or rather, that's a symptom of a certain kind of management that incentivizes people to look busy, punishes those who don't, and doesn't give people accurate and realistic guidance on their responsibilities.

That's how I learned to code. Got a night security job to pay bills and just took my laptop there. In my whole time there I had to get up from my desk maybe 2 times because some drunk dudes would get lost and stumble into the territory lol
It's somewhat the same argument for universal income. Gives people time to learn valuable skill sets without giving all their time and energy to some company.

I work overnight at a home Depot, this has not been my experience.
You'd have to be pretty low volume not to have shit to do. Hell, moving pallets around that were placed in overstock way far from their stock location because people were too busy would be a full time job itself. That said, it's rare for anyone overnight to get the training to actually know what needs to be done.
