Home Depot Fired my daughter on her 15th anniversary in order to deprive her of a bonus and benefits. Tampa Florida
My daughter, Jennifer, worked for Home Depot exactly 15 years. During her tenure a number of customers sent letters or made phone calls to commend her. She is a hard working, conscientious, and well behaved person. The fact that she worked for Home Depot for 15 years shows that she had a good record with the company.
On her 15th anniversary with Home Depot she was fired. Had she been allowed to work just one more day she would have been eligible for a bonus as well as increased vacation benefits. Obviously, the company's motive in firing her on that particular day was in order to avoid paying these increased benefits.
I, myself have been retired for about 8 years. During my career I worked for several companies, both large and small. I never ran into a management so heartless and sneaky as Home Depot.

Companies these days treat you like a cow, or less then that.

I feel for your situation. I worked at Kodak; friends of mine were laid off months before their retirement bonuses would kick in. I know of people that jumped into the river; the same river Kodak dumps it's chemicals into, after being laid off.
Many companies do this. Kodak found a reason to push me into leaving; I was starting to make a decent salary.
My advice to you would be:
Hire a lawyer.
Home Depot is also under investigation for their hiring practices.
They discriminate upon hiring people.
If you do not complete their computer "test" application in a certain amout of time-they toss your application!!
Any misdemeanor charge, no matter how small--->don't even bother wasting your time.
You won't get the job.
Home Depot needs to be sued for they way they do buisness.
