If you think you can be honest in front of management, think again. One time I saw a manager fire someone for a tiny slip-up and they never looked back. - Keep your head down and don't share anything personal. - Watch for any excuse to launch a write-up. - Don't think you can depend on the higher-ups, especially not during all this turnover. - Remember, HD stock might rebound but don't expect it to help you if you step out of line.
