Watching people come and go

What serious company can afford to continuously hire and watch people leave because nobody is trying to keep them here? I've never heard of any company that has managed to grow and stay afloat that way. It is clear to me as a layman that so much... — read more 

Brainwashed into believing you are nothing?

It is their tactic, to convince people that they do not make any difference and that their work is not very valuable. I’ve been watching this in this company for years and I’m really sick of it. Criticism, intimidation and micromanagement are on... — read more 

Was it worth it being a top performer?

They wouldn’t care if you sold a million a week. When they took away the stipend feb of last year that showed some true colors. I walked away recently. My numbers were off the charts but it doesn’t matter. Remember what I just said it doesn’t... — read more 

Doomsday

Somethings going down tomorrow..... just told they need to speak to everyone tomorrow afternoon, any news?

Lowe's CISO gone?

I'm hearing from friends in Mooresville that Anthony Longo the former CISO of Lowe's was fired about 2 weeks ago and no announcement and or reason given. Wonder what happened? Did we get hacked?

A temporary boost

The stimulus money is getting spent as fast as it went in the customer’s account. Everyone is going to be broke after they burn up Covid and tax money. No more handouts. The bubble is going to burst soon. Look at the inflation, check out our... — read more 

Lowe's match better offer?

I'm a specialist who is ranked among the top in my region. But I have an offer doing something else that pays $5-6 more per hour but I'm not thrilled by the job. Would Lowe's match it?

Closed Easter

So we are closed on Easter but you have to use your own holiday or vacation hours in order to get paid. Well damn!

BS

Just heard sick hours are going away and we will no longer be offered sick hours? i am hoping this was the COVID sick hours and not our accrued sick hours

Favorites

Seeing people hired off the street in less than three month get better positions... Sad to see such favoritism amongst so many hard working people who want better jobs.

No Special Treatment

“Waaa....I want special treatment, so I can be a manager. I don’t want to work to get it, I want to fill a quota. Waaa.” —Too bad! Earn it!

Black Solidarity

There is not enough black representation within store management. We will be organizing a protest and union meeting within the 3rd week of April. More information will be sent out on Facebook and links will be put here. #blacklivesmatter

Leave question

Has anyone ever heard of them approving a disability leave for mental illness? I called segwick and they gave me the impression that they were going to approve it, but now it’s becoming a hassle and I’m afraid they won’t. Any advise or stories?... — read more 

gas and propane

Is everybody having a hard time getting mapp gas and propane? Had a customer go off on me wanting to know why every place he went to was out !

I feel better in a small grocery store...

Before I started working here, I worked in a small grocery store. After a few years at Lowe’s, I’m too tired from the atmosphere and stress here. I couldn’t take it anymore and recently I moved back to a smaller grocery store. What a relief. In... — read more 

Cliques spread negative energy

I’m not looking forward to anyone’s layoff, I’m very sorry for anyone who loses their job, but I was genuinely relieved when one cliqueish group got laid off. I thought that something would change without them, that the atmosphere in the store would... — read more 

Things used to be different around here

20 years ago when I was working there, store managers cared about their people and helped develop you and your career with the company. Those days are long gone. Manage through fear and intimidation seems to be the MO of what the company wants these... — read more 

Newbie to work alone in the department?

I can no longer remember where I read about a new employee who was scheduled to be completely alone in the department at the time. I was shocked when I read it. Is that even possible? It’s probably a mistake, though nothing surprises me from Lowe’s... — read more 

The Year Of The Pro 2021

I have always hit my numbers in Pro at every store . Every metric from sales to business credit. Every SM has pressed for sales and threatened job loss if performance is not met . After a while you just smile and say no problem and continue to do... — read more 

Management styles

As a longtime employee of this company, I had several store managers, but this one now definitely has the worst management style - passive aggression. Terrible. I have rarely had the opportunity to meet someone who has so little emotional and social... — read more

Nothing good to say here

There's nothing good about this company that you read. Heck, is there any employee that loves this place or even likes it? I dont see how the place even has anyone working there. I hear the phrase " I hate this place" all day long. Yeah it does s—... — read more 

Not enough hours to stay

I listened to all sorts of stories about this company but I thought people were exaggerating. I’ve only been here a few months as a part timer but it’s already become clear to me. I admire the people who have endured working here for many years. They... — read more 

Coming Apart at the Seams

This company is such a hot mess, a complete unmitigated disaster. It’s not even the 100 days and it’s a cluster——! Wait until the sh–s the fan in April. Holt c-ap!

Lead Table

Here’s a novel idea: make the PSE work the lead table every now and then. I don’t see him in my department selling anything in my name while I generate leads for him for two hours. And, hey Lowe’s! Have you ever heard of telemarketing to generate... — read more

3rd Party

What a joke Third Party Delivery is. We bust our a– to help the customers in the stores and THIS is what you want to leave as the last impression in the customer’s home? It’s a catastrophe. I refuse to take delivery complaints. I forward them to... — read more 

Loaders

Can we please get some load pullers ? Lowe’s is ridiculous when it comes to hiring people on the front end to help pull and load orders. Who thinks it’s ok to send pick up later customers directly to the department to stand there and ask for their... — read more 

Short staffed and customers are complaining

Hours for part timers have been cut to next to nothing so some departments have no one working there a lot of the day. Customers are complaining they can't find any help and are leaving in droves. And employees can't get anything done either... — read more 

Will we successfully pass the test?

Once the pandemic passes, and it eventually will, does anyone really think we will be achieving anything close to the comps of 2020? Wouldn’t surprise me if we hit some quarters with negative comps by end of 2021 and into 2022. Enjoy the sugar rush... — read more 

Two people test positive for covid-19

We have someone on the front end who tested positive for covid. A person she lives with in our department was told to quarantine. The front end person sent a text to me saying get tested because that person I live with is in your department tested... — read more

Oh well, what are you supposed to do

Just read all the comments and reviews at your own store. Its disgusting. Customers even call out some employees by names. But what they don't know or realize ( or they do in some manner) is that they hire people, and work them maybe 8 hours a... — read more

Stronger than expected Q4

What does it mean for us ordinary workers that Lowe’s had stronger than expected fourth quarter earnings? I would say that it means very little if anything - we are left with the same old problems no matter how much profit the company makes. I... — read more 

How well do they know us?

I came to the conclusion that Lowe’s doesn’t know their workforce at all. If it wasn't so, they would appreciate their good workers more, but no, it happens that the worse ones do better here than good ones. What has become the most important here... — read more
