Vault Message Board: Home Depot

Topic Name: SLP
Message Name: Growth from within
Date Posted: 01/10/2006
In Reply To: The whole SLP concept is nuts. To think a company would take advantage of the economic declines after 2000 and 2001 and want to sweep up the layoffs and recent grads is concerning. A company who has banked success with growth from within. This company is paying for degrees not skills. As a parent if I pay for six years of education for my child, I'll be damned if he/she ends up as a retail store manager like my Army buddy with a HS education.
Message: HD's growth far exceeded it's talent pool years ago. Even with SLP there are at least a hundred SM openings right now.
