Home Depot is the largest home improvement retailer in the United States, founded in 1978 in Atlanta, Georgia. The company operates over 2,300 stores across the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, and employs roughly 475,000 people. Most of its workforce is hourly store associates.
Home Depot's WARN filings typically stem from store closures, distribution center relocations, and periodic corporate restructurings rather than mass company-wide layoffs. The company closed its Expo Design Center chain (all 34 stores) in 2009 during the housing downturn. More recent filings relate to individual store closures and supply chain facility changes.
Home Depot invested early and heavily in e-commerce and omnichannel capabilities, spending over $11 billion on its One Home Depot strategy between 2017 and 2020. This included buy-online-pick-up-in-store, same-day delivery, and professional contractor digital tools. The company's early technology investments helped it outperform competitors like Lowe's during the pandemic home improvement boom.
Home Depot is navigating a slowdown in the housing market as higher interest rates have reduced home sales and remodeling activity. The company acquired SRS Distribution for $18.25 billion in 2024 to expand its professional contractor business. AI is being applied to supply chain optimization and customer service tools.

Data on this site comes from WARN Act filings published by state workforce agencies. Where a state does not publish a usable list, filings come from a third-party compilation and are marked on each row. Filings are updated regularly but may not reflect same-day submissions. Coverage varies by state.
Across 3 filings with usable paired dates, the median recorded gap is 62 days. This is date arithmetic, not a finding about notice received by workers or legal compliance. Source definitions, coverage and exceptions matter.
Severance is negotiable more often than people assume, and the leverage is largest before a notice lands. Financial Samurai's How To Engineer Your Layoff walks through how those conversations actually go, with real severance examples.
