I have told you that i worked at Home Depot, I learned that the company can weather all types of bad economies. I lied. This economy is bad.

[para bellum]

A sales increase of 4% YOY and you are freaking out like the company is going bankrupt tomorrow

Well that's not what the article says...

"Home Depot’s sales at stores open at least a year dropped 3.6% last quarter, the company said Tuesday. It expects sales at stores open at least 12 months to fall between 3% and 4% this year compared to last year. That’s down from its earlier estimate that sales would fall about 1% by that measure."
