Topics regarding layoffs at Lowe's Cos.

Dear Melvin

Please visit our store. It would be so nice to have you. We could line up at attention outside when your stretch limo pulls up. Our SM could blow a bugle and make some official announcement. Maybe "hear ye! Hear ye! Stand at attention for our... — read more 

Does Anyone Actually Give A D@mn Anymore?

I’m sitting in the offices of my store tonight, just wasting time because the truth of it all is that I don’t really give a flying f*ck anymore. Does anyone? Really? Over the past two weeks I’ve been threatened more by corporate Lowe’s than I... — read more 

Installs

PSE/IHC targets are $1.2 million and they can't get installers (or maybe aren't trying to hard) for rural markets. Labor costs are 2-3 times higher in rural areas than urban ones. Lowe's has made it painful to sell installs in rural areas. My... — read more 

Out of touch with real store issues

I don't remember the last time my manager talked about real store issues. It seems that the management always skillfully avoids it. I'm just wondering - why?

Respect goes both ways

Just as much as we want to feel respected, so do our managers. And that is very obvious. However, how do you respect someone who obviously doesn’t know their job and isn’t doing it well? This is what their egos can’t stand, when they notice that... — read more 

Calm before the storm

Think about it.... Stocks are way down and store level sales are way down...... What do you think happens next?

No one likes to feel used

Most of us still give this company much more than what we get back in return. It's not even a question of who feels squeezed and used here, because who doesn't?

People need to step up

Someone needs to step up against Marvin's cronies and all his friends in the company. I have watched good employees be bullied to quit and forced to move all because a douch is in power that is Marvin's best friend. This sh-t has got to stop... — read more 

And that is possible too

I do my job the best I can and I do a lot more than one person should be doing here. I’ve never complained before although I’m very often exhausted from work to the point of burnout. And then one day, the manager comes in and says that I am wasting... — read more 

Lowes Stockholm Syndrome

Going back to your place of work constantly when you're not working. Does anyone have those coworkers who always "shop" on their day off? We have an ASM who comes every day off to schmooze, brag about his pay and his accomplishments, flirt with the... — read more 

And they wonder why nothing ever gets done.

Arrive at store and wait 15-20 minutes until someone opens the door. Walk in and get yelled at, asking you numerous times "where were you?" Get your stuff from your locker Wait another 20 minutes for someone to open the cage for a... — read more 

No cleaning supplies for store use.

Has anyone else's store had a problem getting store cleaning supplies? We've been waiting for weeks, I cannot clean the bathrooms because there are no paper towels.

What if there are more cuts?

Our store is barely functioning as is because there is not enough staff (who actually do all the work). I don't understand how things will continue to function if there are even more cuts?

Union poster. Post this right away!!!

Customer Traffic Is Way Down

Here in the Midwest, in-store customer flow has decreased dramatically. Even compared to pre-pandemic levels. Cutting F/T hours has already started to circulate. What is it like at your store?

I'm hearing rumors of potential cuts

I don't see how it can be true since we barely have enough people to get anything done. Can anybody share more info or let me know if this is true or not?

Delivery Damages

Hi. I’m a delivery dude. I just dropped a three thousand dollar refrigerator down the steps of a two story deck. Oh well. Go to the store and get another one! You out of it? So, I’m just a delivery dude! Now break down those boxes I left in... — read more 

SIMS is an absolute failure. Lol.

Literally no one follows the system. I see this only being harped on right before inventories. That's it. Other than that, it's business as usual.

If the pandemic hadn't happened. .

We all know how the pandemic has affected companies and businesses. I'm thinking about whether the situation at Lowes would be better today if the pandemic hadn't happened? What do you think? My store is terrible, our superiors are treating us... — read more 

Boss giving conflicting messages

My boss here is constantly giving me contradictory instructions. Perhaps because of some personal animosity but I really don't know what to do about it anymore, how to deal with it. Has anything similar happened to anyone else here? I'm starting to... — read more

There Better Be A Good Raise For Us Next Year

I’m posting this early in the hope that a lot of Lowe’s associates will band together and get the word out to the company that we will NOT accept some pathetic 2% or 3% raise next year. They’ve been lowballing us year after year and I’m sick and... — read more 

Lowes miscalculates again.

Pitiful Memorial Day results. Barely any foot or internet traffic. I guess Marvin will blame the weather.

Who stayed here longer than planned?

It seems to me that there are more and more of those who stay shorter than planned. I feel miserable because I am one of those who stayed longer than initially planned.

All rewards and no repercussions for some

Managers here no longer even try to hide that they treat some employees more favorably then others. This is an obvious signal that hard and honest work doesn't pay off here. I don't know what is the best way to fight it. Have you ever reported it?... — read more 

The work just keeps piling up.

I’m not sure that I can take it anymore. Lately jut a couple of us in our team are doing practically all of the work while the ones that are in good relations with our manager get to do nothing. What’s even more sad is that the people that do the... — read more

June 17 is the last day for Lowes flatbed drivers in numerous markets in florida.2 weeks severance for affected drivers.Once again,thanks Marvin......hope you get 2 weeks severance aswell!

The understaffing is NOT accidental.

0 I really do believe that the clowns at the top of this company intend to compensate for the lower sales by deliberately understaffing the stores. They do stuff like this every now and again. They have these “pain points”, they look for. What... — read more 

Stacked to the ceiling with hats?

I am expected to wear multiple hats and I’m sick of being pulled in one hundred directions while working in our store. I feel like when I first started working in a very small company where I also had to be involved in everything that was going on... — read more 

Leadership should finally take responsibility

The fact that the leadership will not admit that the cutting of hours and understaffing has greatly contributed to drop in sales will only bring even bigger problems. People here no longer have any motivation. Are they even aware of it? How do... — read more

Layoffs

I heard a large number of Corporate HR employees were laid off today. Guess our sales disappointed more than Marv let on.

Pay for PE certification

Pay the people. If not, refuse to train or let your licenses expire. Let these pieces of s**t start using staffing companies to operate their PE.
