Just wondering where all the people who predicted Lowe's downfall ever since Ellison took over are these days? I thought he was destroying Lowe's, leading it into its own demise, right? And here we are, the stock is at an all-time high with no end in... — read more 

I used to hate all the changes that have happened since the pandemic. Everyone that I worked with hated it. But now, it seems as if we’ve all gotten used to it. I don’t know if that’s a good or bad thing. I guess we’re just getting used to being... — read more

It’s not unreasonable to expect healthy and balanced conditions in our work environment. In fact - we all deserve it. No company is ever perfect but for employees to thrive and be capable of productivity those things are a huge necessity. From... — read more 

I've noticed has been widely used in Lowe's land lately... de·ba·cle /dāˈbäk(ə)l,dəˈbäk(ə)l/ noun plural noun: debacles a sudden and ignominious failure; a fiasco.

Get rid of third party delivery. It’s a disaster. Do it now!!!

Just wondering....Are the specialists in your store working the registers to make their numbers. There's a couple or four here that works the registers all day two or three times a week

It is not worth to report something to AR. They will always talk to the AreaHR and it will get leaked out to others who told and why. Then the SM will be very sneaky but find legal ways to retaliate. Trust me - not a good idea to call AR

I always thought that we were short staffed but honestly this is RIDICULOUS. By my count we’ve lost more than 1/3 of our coworkers in less than a year and we’ve only hired a handful. I’m not sure what’s going on; why people are quitting and why we’re... — read more 

I was recently called into the office by the ASM and DS to discuss why I was not taking lunch and getting overtime every week. Well of course the real answer is that we are severely understaffed and I am taking care of the customer. They told me I... — read more

Of course Lowe's has National Hiring Day and then turns around and cuts part timers hours. Why are they doing that? They must be getting tax breaks for hiring more bodies.

Time to drop the masks. Time for an announcement from corporate.

Store operations have hit an all time low...it's just pathetic! Not sure if it's just me or my store, but everything is chaotic... nothing makes sense anymore!

Luckily we have a good store manager and I don’t have a lot of complaints about him, but I was surprised that some here complain that their store managers are less competent than they are. It’s both funny and sad. How is it possible that the store... — read more 

I've noticed that there hasn't been any significant news in a some time. No manager restructure, no specialist eliminations, no ridiculous policies to be implemented. Is it possible the Marv and friends are trying to stay on the down-low, are they... — read more

Does anyone remember when it was difficult to get a job at Lowes? lowes could pic and choose who was best to hire. Now it seems like if you can walk in the door and are breathing you're hiredl. SAD

April 2021 Lowe’s outsourcing installation services to large National company. Goodbye to great independent contractors that have great ratings and services. Now all you get is delivery.
