Venting Some Frustration

Bare with me on this post, I have a lot to get off my chest here. This post is not to make Home Depot look bad nor make people not want to shop there. They have great products and in general are a great store to buy from. My problem lays with some other issues and certain management.
Todd has worked faithfully for the Home Depot for 3 years. He moved up extremly fast in the company because he is Very Very good at what he does. He is great with people and fabulous at selling things. He did everything they asked him to do, the grunt work, became a key carrier (only managers carry keys), moved from one department to another without complaint, attended meetings and trainings that no one else wanted to attend, worked graveyards in which only managers do again, but he did it because he was right up there with the managers. They paid him well for being a Home Depot employee. Recently Todd was manager over the Pro Desk, which deals with all the General Contractors and really found his nitch. He brought more money in that desk than anyone else since the store had been opened. He had great relationships with all the contractors and went out of his way to make them happy and get them what they wanted. Since the economy took a turn for the worse they had to downsize and so they took Todd from the Pro Desk and put him over 3 departments in the store. He was the only one that knew all those departments well enough to run them well. Although Todd hated to move, he loved the pro-desk, he did it. It messed his schedule up, he worked all weekends, almost every Sunday, closed till 11 even though he had to get up at 3 the next morning for his other job. He did all these things, in which I would say is a very loyal, good employee. He did all they asked and more. In fact when TOdd moved from the pro desk they lost several general contractors because they refused to shop at Home Depot if Todd was not going to work their stuff for them. That says what kind of a worker he was.
Well to the frustrating part right? The last couple of weeks Todd has come home from work really pissed off saying his work was writing him up for all sorts of stupid, lame crap. Whole other story about that but it was so ridiculous I just laughed at what they were coming up with. I didn't understand at first, he was their best employee, why would they be doing this to him. Todd further explained to me that they were trying to get rid of him, he was simply paid to much and they couldn't afford him anymore. I thought what a cheap shot that is, you pay him that much cause he is worth that much. Todd told me he had a bad feeling they were going to try and get him fired and soon and they could pay someone 12 bucks an hour for his job and not what they were paying him. I was sick, I couldn't believe they would do that. Well they did. Todd went into work this last Wednesday and he just had 2 hrs left of his shift and the assisstant manager came up to him and said hand over your apron, your done here. Todd asked why, what happened, and the assisstant manager just said I was told to take your apron and tell you to leave. Honestly that was it. No EXPLANATION, NOTHING! After all he did for them that's how they did it. The managment there is HORRIBLE! You go in and ask just about any employee there and they will tell you they hate their job souly on the managment. PRetty sad if you ask me. Thanks HOME DEPOT for the royal screw over to one of your most faithful employee's!
