I'm just wondering, because with so many oversights, intentional disregard for employees' and customers' health, and failures of safety protocols (the deep cleaning is laughable at my store,) I believe people have more than a solid basis to actually... — read more
Complaining
I can’t believe the backlash over Lowe’s closing Easter. They are not “taking” one of your days off. Full time will still get the same amount of days and hours....but hey! Now one of those days is one we complain each year we should have off. No... — read more
How many more????
Yesterday we at store 1882 were signing a sympathy card for the Harper Woods store and the topic came up of how many more associates have to lose their life in the quest for the $200 stock price?
Masks Finally!
Well so we thought, had buckets of masks and other items set aside. Thought they were the ones for associates but was told not to touch as the Market Director was picking them up to give to a local entity, more or less another photo op Lowe’s does... — read more
Rumblings...Finally

Look at the news today
More and more locations with confirmed COVID-19 cases are popping up each day. I see three more in the last 24 hours - and those are the ones that made the news. How many are there that don't? Shouldn't this be a warning sign to our management that... — read more
Sitting ducks
I've seen more lowes commercials than I ever seen in my life here recently advertising there sales even using the now famous word "essential". They make sure they throw that word in there. What is this "ambassadeur" nonsense? Counting customers... — read more
This is pathetic!
They make us work in unsafe conditions for weeks, then they barely implement any of the highly touted safety measures, they reduce the open hours by the bare minimum they can, and now they expect us to be grateful because they are giving us Easter... — read more

The Easter egg you don't want
Easter, a holiday we should have off in the first place. But we finally get it to pacify us. As the number of infected and casualties go up everyday, and all the employees country wide who have contracted it and even one who died in Michigan. ... — read more
What if we refuse to come to work?
One of the coworkers at our store is out sick with symptoms similar to the Cocid-19 infection. As far as I know he wasn’t tested yet, or we still don’t have any info on whether he was tested. My manager says that we should continue working as usual... — read more

Paying for our silence
Dont try to lean on tiny bonuses or mini-bumps in pay or a day off that literally every other business is giving their employees, to silence us, to buy us off. You know what you did to us, especially this weekend. The customers saw it, we saw it... — read more

Lowes is China. China will stay open.
Let's consider the facts. 90% of what Lowes sells comes from China. And Lowes is heavily vendor run. Lowes is basically a collection of thousands of vendors who source out their materials and labor in China. Take a second to think about it. Sure... — read more
