Lowe's stock just got upgraded, which means that no matter how unhappy and overworked we are and how bad our working conditions get things will not change. Because Marvin is making happy the one group that counts - the shareholders. Nobody gives a... — read more
EOS is live
I watched an associate take the EOS survey. Much to my surprise there is a section at rhe end of it where you can write your own comments. I will utilize this to lay waste to what was once a decent place to work for. Marvin and Joe and Jen say they... — read more

Pull My Own Orders

As Lowe's unravels..... stop and ponder.....what if Michael Jones had been promoted?
Its ironic that the "good old boys" passed on Michael Jones (alleged racism) and that the outcome would be Marvin (hedge fund puppet). Usually a non minority wins over a superior candidate, causing the discrimination. Here the worst candidate... — read more
My story of buying a appliance as an employee.
10 yr Lowe's veteran here. From plant waterer at $9.50 an hour, to ASM. My promotions are all from hard work, punctuality, and never on "favoritism" or being friends. I transferred from a Lowes 2 miles from my house for a promotion to a store an... — read more

Do you think we'll see any repercussions for the Business Insider article? I'm sure those on top did not like seeing their dirty laundry displayed so openly as much as the rest of us enjoyed it. And I don't mean repercussions for individual... — read more
6 months of paid vacation
I'm retiring anyway so I told my store manager to make sure I'm one of the specialists to be let go this month. I figure why not get paid for doing nothing, unemployment here I come. Curious if anyone else is doing same.
Well......

CPO
What does the CPO do other than create more work for store associates? Seriously, every time they call it’s something that has to be done ASAP. Today they call and want me to resolve an issue while they are on the phone; sorry I have customers... — read more

Marvin: Bargain Basement CEO picked off the JCPenney clearance rack.
Is it any wonder why this company is in such disarray? Buddy has no concept of anything, and will continue his chaotic nonsense, all at about 1/3 the price of Niblock. Sad times at Blowes.
Auto-generated schedules are the fastest way to demoralize your staff
System automated schedules are horrible. They remove all humanity from the system. No matter how much you try to play with the parameters to auto generate a schedule, they are always terrible. I work for a retailer that is trying to get us to do... — read more
Insider trading......the best part of Lowe's employment!
Happy to see J. Weber cash out of her stock on 9/17 at a filthy profit. Crazy as all were watching "small hands" in the air!
