I'm very proud of myself and didnt think I'd make it especially as a sales Specialist. I'm now looking into being a department supervisor in a different store.
Tomorrow 2-26-20 is going to be Bad for Marvin.
Today the stock is down $4.31. Yesterday it was down $3.23. $7.50 in two days! Those are the numbers with the perception that Lowe’s is well run and profitable. It’s going to be awful tomorrow when the truth is told. Bye Marvin. See ya. .. — read more

Marvin Sure Loves His Employees

Should i be upset about this?
So a few days after taking a $5,800 pay cut someone decided to make me a red vest mentor. I was not asked or even told about this until someone took my picture for the mentor board. So they want me to be the trainer for appliances...more... — read more

Wire Task to return all rental trucks immediatly

Big Disconnect From Corp To Stores
If you watched Friday’s podcast you would think you were hearing about a different company. All of the talk of success, and how great the company is doing. All while the stores are falling apart. Unless it’s a store Marvin is visiting, then of... — read more
We are losing best employees because of computer scheduling
Great management teams will lose their best employees because of computer scheduling. You need to be in touch with workers who deal with customers daily, face to face. Lowe's "boardroom management" is not helping customers or workers. There is a mass... — read more

Anyone know how long it takes to get an interview after you apply for a position?
MARVINFAIL!

What Hammer Will Fall!?
Looks like the Vegas party is wrapping up. In 14 years with Lowes I have never not seen some department or position get whacked following these meetings. Who gets it in the next few weeks??
Tell Marvin what you think is wrong at Lowe’s since he joined.
There are a multitude of things wrong at Lowe’s. Many have been added since Marvin joined Lowe’s. Just post them up here for discussion.
How come I don’t get a bonus?
I’m a flooring csa. How’s it fair that I have to do all the hard labor, sell as much as a specialist, yet i don’t bonus $250 every two weeks. Our specialists won’t lift a finger to help. Time to look for another job
GOT RETAIL?
Costco. If you gotta work retail? At least pay and benefits are great unlike Lowe’s.
Dear Marvin
Marvin, We know you’re all about saving money to inflate the stock price so here are some ways you can save money. All store meetings, big waste of time. Just get rid of them. Wait until Easter to start staying open later and stop... — read more
Socialism, fascism, fear
Does anyone else feel like you are being told what to do instead of being motivated to do what’s right? Everyday I hear about being fired from Corp people who probably won’t have a job in 3 months. Do we just spin? This fear based conquering... — read more
Customer Centric Scheduling
Associates being scheduled all over the store instead of their department; just how is this supposed to improve customer service and drive sales?
Interested
So after ages working for a less than ethical company I decided to try and do something useful with my free time. I've been consulting with an attorney (thank goodness for family bc it's free) and I'm looking into writing a book about employee... — read more
I have been with the company for 16 years...
Unless they fire me, I will be entering my 17th year in a few months. I was told years ago when my manager told me I would be in charge of doing IRP's and coming in at 3am to complete those and then working my actual job... Which is RTM that... — read more
Delivery is Overpaid
Period.
Lowe's Eliminating RTM
I think... I feel... Deliveries and RTM are next... I have heard a rumor that deliveries will be outsourced, as well as RTM Associates.
Is Lowe's a good place for a first job?
My son just started there so I've been reading up on it and then I found this page. And now I'm petrified for him. Did he make a big mistake?
2/26. 4th Quarter results.
Anyone care to guess what Lowe's 4th quarter earning will be when they announce them on 2/26? The stock is still "up", but has been trending down, stagnant at best. The books will be cooked as best as possible to make the company seem viable... — read more
Is this in the future?
Being hassled about names for the pro loyalty card which is nothing more than a re-purposed MyLowe's card. Anyway, I wonder if in the future we will be written up for too few submissions, since in the past we were threatened with the same for a lack... — read more
Managers taking pictures
Managers keep walking around the store taking pictures of us, usually with their personal cell phones. They dont ask for permission, and they usually don’t even tell us that they’re doing it. One of my buddies confronted one of them about it, and she... — read more
Issues with personal information.
Ever since they got rid of HRs, creepy things keep coming up. I had a manager to make a sarcastic comment to me today about my allergies. I asked him how he knew about my allergies, and he said “it’s in your file”. I’ve never ever discussed my... — read more
Move on
Lowe's has changed and will change. I encourage everyone who is not happy to seek other employment. Do not be miserable. You all have a great deal of experience in operations, inventory and customer service, so add this to your resume.
What Marvin gets or has gotten
In addition to his pay check here’s what Marvin gets or has gotten since joining Lowe’s (compare to what you have received since Marvin arrived) Base pay of 1.45 million Restricted Stock of 6 million Stock options 4 weeks vacation $12,000... — read more
