ASM'S cut to 1 a store?
After 12 years, I walked. I already heard that stores will be cutting the ASM to 1 per store, and the DS position will be eliminated. Again. 9 years? ago they tried this. It didn't go well. I'm fine with it all. Most ASM's are worthless... — read more

I can’t believe the m0r0ns in this company did this AGAIN. Last year they sent out this exact same discretionary bonus and it tanked associate morale. But apparently the people at the top of our company are completely clueless. Do you people truly... — read more
Vegas Stoe Meeting

Unfortunately, the sh-t is about to hit the fan. Very, very few will be impressed with the "impressive" 5% off... try for the 6-month no financing and all those Lowe's points for any chance at the front end. Only appliances, flooring and Millworks... — read more

Another nail in the coffin
With the transition to My Lowe's Rewards, I can't tell you how many credit cards will evaporate once the $100 credit is removed from a $500 purchase... Just 5%, free shipping, points, isn't going to do it for many people.
Sneaky
At the start of November, my management team discovered I planned to submit my two-week notice on December 29th, with January 12th being my final day. Instead of expressing regret over my departure, they immediately announced their intention to fill... — read more
Marvin is a Hack
Marvin Ellison is the most heartless, morally corrupt CEO in retail. I’m sure none of the many of his family he employs received the dreaded “notice”.
Layoffs at Home Depot
Apparently, Home Depot had major layoffs this week. That's not encouraging, knowing that they're doing much better than we are. I wonder how long it'll be until there's something similar here.

Expect a Reorg…
Full disclosure here, this is just my opinion after working for this company for over ten years. I expect the company will enact another reorganization, most likely at the end of the fiscal year. I make this statement after having watched several... — read more
ME is a joke of a CEO
He's clueless about what's going on with the working folks. He has no idea what we have to deal with every day or he simply doesn't care. He doesn't get the everyday grind and the challenges we face on a regular basis. It's as if he's living in a... — read more

What is changing at Lowe’s Tech Hub?
I’ve heard they are changing Pay Grades. Which will impact salary bands, bonuses and stock (for that get stock grants). Also heard they are lining up layoffs of about 1,000 people. What do you all know? Or have heard?
Tide Turning
2024 I feel low Tide for Lowe’s. Everyone get on the boat and shove off before you are stuck. Experienced specialists will be fired and replaced with DEI dummies for $16 and a EBT card each month.
FT getting cut
Stating after BF weekend. All FT hourly positions with the exception of DS, Pro Specialist and kitchen design will be eliminated by end of fiscal year.

Employee Survey - who benefits?
What reason does Lowe’s even have for having all stores participate in this employee survey? Who benefits ? It has to cost quite a bit of money to have this ( supposed?) third party company to create and handle all of these. Since no one ever sees... — read more
Employee survey?
Does this survey determine store manager,Asm,and Dept.Supervisors bonus? Or does it just determine your own supervisors in your department. They say it anonymous so shouldn't your opinion reflect every member of management from your store and bit... — read more

Shoplifting at Lowe’s
I’ve lost all patience with the gaslighting about shoplifting—it’s just 1% of revenue, it doesn’t hurt anyone but rich investors, blah blah blah. Using numbers from Lowe's 2022 10-K, here's a quick analysis showing how destructive it really is... — read more
