The COVID vaccines are going to be shipped in stages. The CDC is deciding who gets them first. Of course, the at risk population should get them first, and then the front line medical workers. After that, “essential workers”(you know, those of us... — read more
Sales Specialists bonus
I’m curious if most specialists are getting a monthly bonus?
The downward spiral
I'm sure blowes contributed to a massive percentage of the spread of covid today for black viral spread friday. No doubt. On top of the anti-employee agenda they have. All the manager threats on a daily basis, lack of actual employees......(but... — read more
Why are delivery drivers being told they have to have open availability?
Who wants a fridge delivered at 9 pm? Doesn’t lowes know that drivers have to fallow Federal motor carrier laws? Or is lows exempt?
People are getting fed up
We are having trouble keeping people at our store. Can you imagine how bad it must be for them to just walk out when there is no guarantee of another job? Most of those leaving are older employees who are sick and tired of the joke that are our... — read more

Black Friday Virus
Here comes the charge of the infected, acting as if nothing is going on. Restaurants and bars closed for indoor dining. Schools closing. Governors ordering restrictions on Thanksgiving gatherings. Lowe’s will be full throttle and wide open for those... — read more
7 he meeting
My ASM just told me he has a 7 he class/ meeting today. He asked me for a copy of the dash 7 and a daily business folder along with section 5 and 8. I asked him what it was about but he couldn't tell me. Anybody heard anything?
Is anyone's store really ...............
demanding that customers wear masks, or if they won't, kick them out? ANYONE?
Time to explore other options?
Have you seen the news that Home Depot intends to make pay increases for hourly workers permanent as their sales surge? The heavy activity has, however, also led Home Depot to spend $1.7 billion in temporary pay and benefits for staff working... — read more
With the pandemic "RAGING"...........
Is anyone willing to stand up for a decent wage and REAL protection for the people who don't have the luxury of working from home?
Employees are just expendable numbers in a database
It's not just Lowe's that does this though as it seems to be the way of the Corporate America these days. In a way we only have ourselves to blame, by not supporting local businesses and giving our money to these big conglomerates. The unfortunate... — read more
Hours being cut?
Why am I hearing about possible hour cuts? Please, somebody, tell me that's not true? Why is it even being considered? We are barely managing to get anything done as it is. And we all know we'll need more seasonal employees soon anyhow. So what's the... — read more
Thanksgiving holiday
Have any other stores been told that we are working 4 (10hr) days the week of thanksgiving to “make up” for being off on Thanksgiving (which is a set holiday day and store is closed). Does anyone else see this as a warm up for next year (Lowe’s... — read more
The revolving door of new employees
The new batch of new employees some think they will change and organize the very disorganized department. They think they will be a manger because they can navigate the computer. To bad only a couple know how to do the job I sit back and watch and... — read more
Long term disability
I had to retire after Heath issues made it impossible to continue working at Lowe’s. Pray that you never need your LTD coverage. Lowe’s contract with Cigna is a huge scam. Lowe’s should be ashamed of themselves for offering LTD coverage from the... — read more
Run to the hills
Big changes coming end of month for specialists., Have those resumes polished.
What would you do for a corporate buck?
Marvin or the DM is really screwing Lowes up for employees. Or is it how many people they can get in and out the door to say they hired a lot during the pandemic for tax purposes. What’s the deal? How can some full time employees get Monday -Friday... — read more
Something's got to give
I don’t know if it’s a scheduling issue or if we just don’t have the manpower but we are running on empty here. We’ve got stations and registers understaffed and with all that, what exactly am I supposed to say when customers complain? We can see... — read more
Get out as soon as you can
What I am about to post is strictly my opinion and nothing more. It is my belief that the "new" sales specialists bonus structure was likely concocted to throw off a potential mass exodus when the last bastions of the original commissions/SPIFFS... — read more
Squash the Election Talk
As I walked into work today, I was informed by an ASM and a DS (I’m also a DS) that any talk about the election even just asking if you watched the news last night is to be stopped and “treat it like union talk” this is no skewed towards one... — read more
It’s coming...
Flooring specialists, millworker specialists are soon going bye bye. Heard from a source that the company is quite pleased with how the plumbing specialist and pros change went. Now they want double down.
This is discrimination against older employees
The random scheduling is the way Lowes discriminates against older employees. It is rough hardly ever having two days off in a row, one weekend off every two months, closes followed by opens, four long days then a short day. Its bad enough being on... — read more
There goes Bill Ackman reducing exposure
Canary in the coal mine Lol!
How lowes has fallen
How lowes has fallen no regard for employees it’s all lowes or the road. Your life and needs do not matter.
Giving a bonus with one hand and swiftly cutting hours with the other
WTF is up this strategy of running the store? We're barely having coverage of the store and customers aren't stopping. 300 dollars means nothing when I'm covering lumber, millwork and hardware.
Is Lowe's stocking up for the Apocalypse?
We have been getting a truck everyday like it's spring all over again with 1/2 the staffing. We are getting ridiculous amounts of freight we don't need and it's stacked to the ceiling in my places. The store can't keep up, every isle is filled... — read more
Question?
Why would Lowes schedule full time employees different times with different days off? Knowing the store opens the same time every week and with the same amount of hours in the 24 hr day.
MST Green
Hearing rumors that MST Green will take over merchandising and caring for the plants next year and that all service vendors will be gone?
Photo Bomb
I’ve heard our new District Manager is being very sneaky and taking photos of employees in other stores , trying to catch them off guard. He’s taking advantage of his anonymity to “blend in” like a chameleon. I find this to be very creepy and I... — read more
Lowes does not want long term employess
They treat their employees like rubbish! Lowes does not respect their employees at all!
Threat Management
That new culture being brought into the stores is all about managing by threats. Lowe’s used to be a fun atmosphere, and we all worked hard to achieve the goals for our store. The mood is so negative now. You can cut the tension in the air with a... — read more
Master of Disguise
The new DM in our market came into the stores wearing a wig and secretly took photos of associates and the desk areas. This is the new culture the Turtle is bringing into our markets. You can’t make this stuff up. Ridiculous!
Tool Rental Program
So what do we know about it? Who will stag it? When is it coming? Is it 3rd party? Where will the area be in the store?
Halloween Drive Through Marketing Gimiick - Pretty Sad at our store
In Upper Midwest here , any other stores having an OSLG Halloween Drive Thru, with small area poorly decorated by outside wall?? It was actually kind of funny in a sad sort of way. Granted weather didn't help, but only a few cars stopped buy for... — read more
Cuts compared to previous years?
There is still no information about cutting hours in our store. The cuts at this time of year don’t surprise me and I don’t believe they will bypass us. Please no sarcastic comments, I need accurate information on how deep are those cuts compared to... — read more
