Hi, Did anybody hear they are starting to add on some Sales Floor supervisor departments so they would have 3 departments instead of 2?
Displaced FSA
I'm a displaced FSA. I just completed the paperwork to be hired on at a local university in the maintainence department. Nice bump in pay and the benefits are fantastic! Thanks Marv, small hands Joe, Weber, and last but not least Taco Bell Lady. ... — read more
Performance write up...
Does a final write up for performance expire in a year? (As a Sales Specialist?)
Written up
I was written up for pointing instead of walking the customer to the item, I was 5 deep in appliances with no help, no one scheduled in cabinets, and the plumbing guy at lunch. Customer comes up to me and interrupts to ask where the furnace... — read more
Allowance Talk not Allowed
Shaw, Ackman and Ellison have their henchmen working overtime deleting posts from this site. Nice work boys
Clueless MGMT!
Store Manager and the Sales Manager telling the Appliance Specialists that the Spiff Program is back at a morning meeting. Nonsense! I called out their BS upfront.
Why are the PSEs still here?
My store manager has been saying the PSE all getting let go for months now. Its cruel to keep telling them work work work but we don't have to get leads anymore? Did they get moved like the nursery guys?
Final..
Just wanted to confirm....a FINAL expires after a year right?
Does anyone know when companywide when they plan to go to all 3rd party deliveries?
I just moved out to CO as I medically retired from my government job and took a job at Lowes as a driver. As I was getting trained I was informed that at some point all deliveries would be going to 3rd party only by the other drivers and since we... — read more
China virus costs Marvin his job
The stock price will fall until midsummer by then Marvin may be out. To get the price back up what will happen? A Home Depot buyout would then be likely.
Done
After 18 years, 5 months and 20 days. 770 hours sick time. I no longer share the Hedge Fund’s Vision for Lowe’s as an employee. Why would I continue working for less money than when I started. Marvin has no moral compass or honor when it comes to the... — read more
full time employees not needed.
I made the right decision July 2019, I took a leave of absence for three months from Lowes, While finally I left after Lowes said no more weekends off. you will get 2-4 weekends off per year, maybe. Wow as of today 01-29-2020, more full-time... — read more
Total Meltdown n
Just wondering if anyone has seen an employee have a total meltdown on the job and what happened as the result. Management in my store has been hammering away at the Supervisors and Specialists and a select ASM basically making them the scapegoat for... — read more
Called Off
At 7:23 am my store manager called to tell me not to come to work today as they were cutting hours. I was to work 9 to 6 today. Makes perfect sense to me, no one in the department until 5 when the closer gets there; no one to do the DHSR, IRPs, put... — read more
How many people work at Lowes?
Post any information you have about the total headcount (I know it changes all the time). How about the main office at Mooresville?
Part Time Associate
I have not been scheduled since January 4th. I see that I am scheduled second week of February, that is a long time without hours. I have no idea what is happening. I will find out when I show up in February. I did watch CEO podcast, but that was not... — read more
HD District Managers Wanted!
From what I can tell on my LinkdIn feed, Lowe’s is bringing in former HD district mgrs to fill MD and SM positions at a break neck pace. It would appear that this is an effort to completely overhaul the culture at Lowes in the stores.
Nice pod cast.....
Marvin did a great job of explaining all the changes coming... stressing no one lost a job or money.Gezz guess I wouldn't be the best specialist Lowe's ever had,.,if I didn't do the smart model or other models over the the years.See the real model... — read more
Contact your congressman
If you are an Lowe’s associate losing their allowance/spiff, Contact your Congressperson about the lies Lowes has told you. Also TV, newspaper, talk radio anyone you can. Let’s not go like sheep to the slaughter
New CS desk update.
Anybody have pictures of the new layout? Post them if you can.

Lowe's W2
Need information - where can I download my Lowe's W2. I was let go last year, I have no access to Lowe's systems. Not sure if I can get an online copy somewhere. Please help.
My 2 Cents
Changes in 2020... Company is rethinking HR in stores. ASA will see more responsibilities along with higher pay in 2020. What a slap in the face to the HR managers that left only to bring in less qualified to perform the same task.
Threat... Be written up for talking about the potential change.
Store manager,Asms supervisor's are instructed to monitor rumors from this site.....And watch for specialist talking to each other.Just saying.... Something coming...get your umbrella..
The Master Plan
They're going to make changes that go directly to more profits (cut manpower) to drive up stock. Then sell and bail. Just like J.C. Penny. Notice they (Penny's) are closing more stores again. When you only aim to please shareholders, you... — read more
Mandatory conference call tomorrow.
Any idea what’s going on
Lowe’s Is In A Time Warp
Under the Marvettes one day at Lowe’s is one month in normal space/time. Yes folks, all the money saved from the store cuts has really been spent on a warp engine. You can be off one day and return to find a whole month of normal space/time... — read more
Cash office
Cash office is cut dow to 3 hours and the rest of the time on the sales floor. How long untill they eliminate the position all together?
Lowe's is horrible to work for
Don't get me wrong, things were never perfect. But in the last couple of years, it went from bad to worse. Now I have a feeling I'd be happier flipping burgers at McDonald's.
MST
Hello overnight traveling team.... Goodbye......?
When's the next layoff?
Weren't people talking about end of January?
Untrained employees
I have found that there are more people that make eye contact with customers now than when I worked at Lowes a year ago. But if that employee has no clue about drywall, doors, hardware or pretty much anything - then why are they there? The top... — read more
Tax Info
Former Lowe’s employee here from last year’s LP purge. I went onto the taxform.com website for my W-2, but it still only mentions the release date for last year. Any word on when the 2019 forms might be available?
