No Female Store Manager No Bonus

A number of years ago Home Depot was sued because of their abject violations in the HR process that led to very few women getting promoted. Now keep in mind this is with an army of store and district HR’s in place that were completely okay with this abject violation of law. 5 Years ago this RVP had 64 stores in his region and there were 2 female store managers. The female hiring and promotion
has gotten fairer but only because the company had a MASSIVE lawsuit and as a result the bonus structure was changed that effects the RVP's based on the percent of females in position per region. Now that the RVP’s and Divisional President (and the entire district and regional team, HR’s included) stand to lose BIG bonus's due to their bigoted and illegal hiring practices they have started to get rid of the people they like least to attempt to improve the female staffing %. Many on the district, regional and divisional level turn a blind eye to the situation because they don’t want to lose their job taking on the issue or lose their bonus if the female staffing% does not increase. The Jefferson quote "Ignorance and bigotry, like other insanities, are incapable of self-government." is a prime example of why Home Depot and so many of these big box companies are in dire need of the workers organizing, because the self-governance these companies have maintained leaves the hourly workers that are working like mad to improve their lives, little or no leverage. Home Depot labor needs a union to protect it from the unfair practices that exist.
