Home Depot Cuts 800 Corporate Roles, Mandates Five-Day Office Return

The retailer says the overhaul will boost speed with closer links to frontline stores after a stretch of softer results.

Overview

  • About 150 of the eliminated roles were based at the Atlanta headquarters, with most other cuts affecting remote employees in technology and select corporate teams.
  • Corporate staff will shift from a four-day hybrid setup to a full-time, in-office schedule starting the week of April 6.
  • Home Depot said impacted employees will receive separation packages, transitional benefits, and job placement support.
  • The moves follow a third-quarter miss and lowered full-year guidance, with leadership citing weak housing activity and consumer uncertainty.
  • The announcement arrives as large employers across retail and tech disclose fresh job cuts, including recent reductions at Amazon, Nike, and UPS.
