Topics regarding layoffs at Lowe's Cos.

Are we the next Sears?

Just go and check back on how things happened with them - it's going to sound eerily familiar. If the similarities continue, what we have to look forward to are several years of constant layoffs, reorganizations and store closings before we... — read more 

Broken contract

Meeting with our attorney next week to look over my paperwork stating I would be be receiving my allowance (for them taking away such a huge chunk of my pay) as long as I was employed and did not go salary. Here's hoping you do the same.

Specialists— Quit whining

Enough with the complaining that you aren’t receiving free money above and beyond your paycheck because you were “promised” it. How about the majority of staff that works ten times as hard as you while you sleep at your desks and pretend to call your... — read more 

Just a Thought

I understand the reason behind all of these large retailers, including Lowe’s, restructuring and cutting back as much as they can. I get that the ride of e-commerce is a huge part of this. However, I think the companies who stick it out and focus... — read more 

And just like that.....

corporate was able to make everyone forget about the lowly assemblers and fsa's and turn their attention to the faux outrage that some employees in their stores were getting an "allowance" dating back to 2011. The same people across social media... — read more 

I'll do my part

After collecting screenshots of employees making fun of customers sharing these people's names and pictures from Lowe's official FB page I will do my part by sending these via messenger to the customers involved at least once a week. I will encourage... — read more 

Adjusting my budget; Home Depot here I come

The script that SMs read for employees regarding the discontinuation of allowances indicated that the company is giving us enough time to adjust our budgets. Well, that's exactly what I have started to do. My LCC is at the bottom of the shredding... — read more 

What is "Spiff Allowance"?

For those that don’t know, a spiff allowance was a stipend for those of us that were once on commission, in 2012 they ended the program. They took our 2011 commission and cut it in half and divided that among our paychecks. For example: I... — read more

Final pay

Did anyone else get money from Lowes today? My the SM at my old store wasn't very in touch with what was going on. He just read the company issued letter to me. Are we still getting one last check in 2 weeks? When do my benefits end? Am I getting all... — read more 

3rd party?

What about plants. Will Lowes Garden Center be 3rd party for plants? Will they have a LNS? They are going to a pay by scan no markdown system .

Highway vs stairway

As an assembler of 14 years I was laid off last week as a cost cutting measure BUT they just replaced all the store light fixtures (over 400 in our store) with LED. Now some of the high sales area are dark as night. I can see cutting the cost of the... — read more 

Deliveries and RTM are next

I have heard through a certain manager"that deliveries will be outsourced, as well as RTM Associates.

RTM / Laid off

I just heard RTM is going away as well from a trusted manager. I applied for a transfer in the same position and he stated to look at another position.

Unionize

I do not understand why no one has unionized Lowe’s yet. With as upset as everyone is, why are you not attempting to unionize? Just curious.

New intimidation tactic

PSE leads, credit, details. 1 a week For department pros, or documentation for poor job performance.... Just another way to create more cuts.

Who else is shocked by media coverage?

Any date and factual info on when and who next? S—s working at a place that makes you feel like you are in the holocost and you do not know when you will chosen next.

Full time?

Will Lowes fire all full time associates. FT garden center , lumber. Etc.

Marvin’s Problem

Marvin has a credibility problem at my store; no one believes him anymore, not even the most pro-Marvin associate we have. Everyone is looking for jobs elsewhere before the cuts eliminate their jobs. Just look at the past year to see what a liar... — read more

There is life after Lowes.

I sold about $2 million dollars of appliances the last year I was at Lowes. My reward was to be called a "Jackass" by an ASM for leaving, even though I gave them ample notice, which is more than they give their "team members" before they "can" them... — read more

I’m one of the lucky ones that left

I was curious if marvelous Marvin is still doing his weekly chats? If so did he address in anyway the firings last week or what has he been saying to try to boost morale?

Layoffs

Keep in mind Liberal thinking companies have to create their own recession. After all,there is a election coming up,and they are as desperate as I've ever seen.

Assembler elimination wrong

That Lowes is doing away with in-store assemblers doesn't surprise me. But, I agree with a previous statement, no one will be available for repairs or on-the-spot customer requests. Of course, that's a moot point.......it's all about the bottom line... — read more
