I believe that the feeling that all new hires have is - sink or swim. My friend's daughter got a job in the store where I work and I, despite my best intentions, can't help her much. How can she know how to do work if no one shows her? It’s awful... — read more

If they want to eliminate a field role to save money.....
I know Area HR's use to have direct reports and there use to be two per district in my area but that was all eliminated and now it is one per district. They don't do covid reporting, nor do they do internal investigations as we have a centralized... — read more

Store to lose over half of the employees
Around the grapevine the word is that if Lowe's decides to mandate either testing or the vxe then more than half of the employees will be leaving. How will Lowe's handle this kind of issue? It's going to be a dire situation across the globe if people... — read more
Run Away

More layoffs coming?
Has anybody heard anything about more layoffs being on the way? I think if they mandate vaccines it won't be necessary, enough people will quit rather than be forced to get a jab. But if there's no mandate, then I think we might be looking at another... — read more

Anyone can be a supervisor
When managers decide who to promote to supervisors, do they just take the d-mbest people in the store or people who couldn't sell a cup of water to a thirsty person?
How much more and better can you do?
There are people who strive to have the best possible performance until the very last day they are here. Still, most of us don’t think that putting in effort is worth much here, so they don’t even bother. For example, I only give 50 percent of myself... — read more
