DSSM

Is this the end of the PSE program? Are we saying goodbye to our DSSMs? I heard there is a hiring freeze.

They Read This Stuff - Don’t Think They Don’t.

I know for a fact that corporate Lowe’s keeps an eye on this site, so if you’re going to voice complaints, make them good. But instead of complaining maybe there are other things you can do. 🤔 Whining about your boss, lazy coworkers and stupid... — read more

amusing

Its rather amusing that the company thinks the elimination of the spiff allowance has just been swept under the rug and forgotten well guess again would be a good idea to get that army of attorneys polished up you will need them. The wheels are... — read more

Desperate

We are so desperate for employees at my store they are offering a paid day off for anyone refers someone who get hired. I guess Marvin’s fires too many of us!

What assemblers don't assemble.

I am a former assembler at Lowes. I stopped by the store to say goodbye to a former co-worker who is leaving. I found out that the assemblers only work on Fridays at this store, they didn't show up today. I also found out the the assemblers only... — read more 

Favoritism

This runs rampant in Lowe’s Land. Associates are late everyday and call out constantly. Instead of being held accountable, they are promoted to supervisor (and above) positions. Yet with others (the non butt kissers), they are held accountable... — read more 

Is it too late for Lowe’s?

Under this leadership, I have no doubt that it is. Hypothetically, if Marvin and hiss leadership were to leave, can the company survive, or have they buried it too deep?

October the 8th

Remember 10-08-2019. I know it’s only 4 days away. I’m hearing some chatter it’s about MST program. Different roles and who reports to who.

Thanks Marvin

Thanks Marvin you’ve given me the motivation to leave Lowe’s. I’ve been with the company for seven years, worked at 3 different stores under 7 different store managers, dozens of ASMs, and close to 50 department managers/supervisors, some only lasted... — read more 

6 minutes

So we can clock out no more than six minutes after our scheduled shift end. I wonder how much time will be wasted getting managers to fix it every time we are held over by a customer. I am pretty sure this will cost Lowe's much more than it saves. It... — read more 

well, it happened to me

Walked into work and was told my position is being downsized because we now have self checkouts. I was a maxed out Head Cashier. I got the "you're welcome to apply for other positions" BS. This came with no warming.

Stopped by old store.

I was talking to an associate at my old store , that I wasn't that close with. She said they missed me in the back doing their assemblies, because they have had numerous grills come back that were falling apart. One customer literally brought... — read more

The ‘Walmarting’ of Lowe’s

What we are seeing is the ‘Walmarting’ of Lowe’s—get rid of high wage, experienced, tenured employees that helped make the company what it is today and bring in a bunch of college kids and others that will work for bare minimum. It’s sad. Posted... — read more

What is Customer Centric Schedule?

This question might seem stupid to the people on this board, but I’m not a Lowe’s Employee. My brother works at Lowe’s, and he talks about the implementation of that scheduling system as it is the worst thing that could have happened to him. Would... — read more 

You heard it here first, and accurately.

I wont state what managerial position I hold, but I am now actively seeking work outside of Lowes and ready to leave a company where I invested 18 years of my life to. The final straw was when the corporate execs all told us that employees are all... — read more 

It’s Official, Customer Centric Schedule Drops

The bottom line is simply this: we will work 46 out of 52 weekends a year!!!!!!! There’s no sugar coating it, dressing it up, or BS-ing their way around this. Ellison, McRacist Joe, Jen Webber, & the Activist Investors have drawn a line in the... — read more

Don't Care

Only people that will succeed at Lowe's are young punks who don't care what snyone says of does and jumps from job to job. This place is a joke.

Lowes rent to own

The 30% interest rate is not good enough for Marvin, David Shaw, and Small Hands Joe...Now they are dipping into the predatory loan business to really put the screws to the little guy. Nice work, boys. What took you so long?

Marvin’s Coming to Visit

Marvin’s coming to my store and they are pulling associates from a 50 radius to help us get ready. We are also ICBing in anything we are out of stock on! Gotta put on a good show for Marvin!

So about the specialist rumor

Is it bullsh**? Will any conversations happening Monday be only about the Customercentric deal and the new attendance policy? What can specialists expect when they go to work on Monday?

The Other Side Is Waaay Better

So I left Lowe’s a few month back and got a job at a company that pays flood restoration companies and other types of construction. In the last week we were given a fully catered suite to a MLB game for all of our employees and their families. Then... — read more

Tenured "specialists" are the problem

Iv been wondering for a while why lowe's has been slacking in hiring new employees. Half the employees sit at their desks and do as little as possible. One of the pro specialists literally told me that they've been with the company for 16 years and... — read more

Blaming only current leadership is lazy and short-sighted

Just blaming current leadership for all of the company’s problems is lazy and short-sighted. Fact is, Lowe’s has been on the wrong track for years, in decline and plagued with underperformance since way before Marvin took over. I think it actually... — read more

Name tags

There is a reason new name tags are being issued without your assigned department.
