Spring cleaning spurs Home Depot to hire 70,000

[Saving Hawaii]

6. UPS hired me as a temp. After the holidays they gave me a full-time slot.

I eventually left for a job I really wanted to do but UPS was a pretty dang good place to work. Nice union employer that was afraid to walk on its employees. Reasonable pay and good benefits. I felt like I had some dignity when I worked there.

I suspect that quite a few of those hired as temps will transition to perms, but my guess is that Home Depot's total number of permanent employees won't change very much. Most of those promoted to FT will be replacing perms who've promoted or left.
