True Lowes reported SSSG higher than Depot (after 14 straight quarterly losses to their rival =market share) in 1st Quarter but wait....... Home depot reports online sales outside of store sales but Lowes had never fully separated those sales. ... — read more
The most important part of Lowe’s.
I have been with the company 15 years, I remember a training sometime around 2007 where we were told “The most important part to any Lowe’s is you”. It’s sad to see how far it has fallen. In 2012 when spiffs were taken away we were given a 2 day... — read more
Corporate spokesperson tells it incorrectly.
With these layoffs, CNN quotes a company spokesperson as saying that the affected ones will be given an opportunity to move into positions open in the store. How is that when they are walked out with no notice????
Sympathy for the devil.
Satan is bald and can’t pronounce words like the and ask correctly. Censorship this time???!!!!! KMA.
How long until the "powers that be" turn on Marvin and show him the door?
It's been a year of failure. No momentum, just a downward slide. In a desperate attempt to "save" a company that didn't need saving he has confused our brand with consumers. We are not the same retailer as Home Depot. The majority of our customers... — read more
Three card Monte: the Lowes' confidence game!
Its funny when you hit Times Square in New York and the ambition seems to be to exploit every unsuspecting bystander. These thieves shuffle the deck, move the shell across the board and force a pose and picture with a half naked super hero for... — read more
Marvin’s Golf Vacation
Wondering what Marvin’s doing the weekend after a big layoff? He’s golfing. I opened this morning in my store to my Spawn of Satan SM running everyone ragged like a lunatic to get the store clean, “why?” I asked him. “Because Marvin is coming either... — read more
Change brings progress! Store cleaner than ever before!!!
I'm so damn sick of the complainers. Anyone with any type of business education knows that a business HAS to evolve to in order to stay relevant. As I read the posts here and everywhere else one characteristic of them is constant... "Our FSA... — read more
Next to go
Plumbing specialists, tool and hardware specialists, decor specialists and the electrical/plumbing pros are going to get axed. Depot doesn't have electrical/plumbing pros or tool/hardware specialists, fashion plumbing and kitchens are merging to... — read more
Ellison Bring's His Track Record of Success!!!!
After totally screwing the pooch at Penny's, Marvin's bringing his stellar reputation of success to Lowe's. Mismanagement, ineptitude, lack of strategy and reactionary managements ensures the long term success for Lowes. Ellison should have... — read more

REALLY?
We are moving to third-party assemblers and facility services to allow Lowe’s store associates to spend more time on the sales floor serving customers,” said Lowe’s in a statement to CNBC.... What an asinine statement
Sad Day for Lowe's
The FSA position is just as important to the store success as CEO. Will a contracted company be on site to perform the emergency tasks that pop up during the work day? Probably not. It's called FSA for a reason, a real person needs to be on site... — read more
Bad Optics Mr. Ellison, Customers Don’t Like It
Customers are asking again: Is LOWE’s Going Out Of Business? What should we tell them Marc??? That you’re running Lowe’s down the Toilet!!!
Hired 6/07/19 as a FSA

It's Over
When a company resorts to management by fear and intimidation, it's over.
Keep blowing Sunshine up my *ss
Layoffs will help associates 'better serve customers'??? What associates? We're down to 40% of the staff we had 2 years ago. Short term stock bump, long term customer disloyalty as they are not happy. The typical press release. If Lowes corporate... — read more
why no asset protection?
Why does Lowe's allow, almost advocate shoplifting? Every thief within 100 miles of Indy knows is a protected sanctuary for thiefs. Put some respect back into your company man, your a joke within the retail industry.
Dearest Marvin
Please for the sake of what was once a great company......leave. We've seen your past decisions and what you've done to us and frankly an actual turtle could do a better job.
Dear Turtle
You now have stores full of people who want to actively do things to screw up the stores congratulations you cheap token CEO
Lowe's Lays Off Unloaders and Night Stockers
Lowe's notified all of our truck unloading team that their jobs would be terminated in September. Four of the seven unloaders walked off the job tonight. Rumour has it the night stockers are being eliminated as well. No reasonable long term strategy... — read more
Cheap
What corporate Lowe’s just did to the FSAs was cheap and ignorant. In my store, the FSA did a lot more than just clean. He added a lot to the store and always had a positive attitude and went out of his way to help out and do extra things for the... — read more
Lowe's is a member of the 'Liars' Ball'
They have a history of misrepresenting to their employees , customers and even their vendors. I be personally witnessed a store manager have his children sweep store floors (under 12 yrs age) store triple pallets of cement block next to large... — read more
Next cut guesses for Q3 and Q4
Believe we will see RTM clerk cut end of Q3 and possibly some specialist positions ie Plumbing and LNS....then I’m confident Pse gets cut in Q4....Marvin only cares about one thing, raising stock price and sees payroll as a liability. Marvin and his... — read more
Next cut... Marvin and Joe
Let’s discuss who should be cut next! That would be none other than our fearless leaders, Marvin and Joe. These knucklehead failed execs came to us with a plan. What is that plan exactly? Copy Home Depot’s every move!! Perhaps you two missed that... — read more

Nonsense from Lowe's spokesperson
A Lowe's spokesperson said the assembly and janitorial jobs are being outsourced to allow Lowe's associates more time to spend on the sales floor serving customers. That makes no sense unless more people are going to be hired to work the sales floor... — read more

Curious about the status of my job.
So first of all I just wanna say it's pretty awful that all the FSA and assembly people had to be let go. I really liked both of the guys at my store, and like to think I'm pretty good friends with our ex-assembler. We talked about sports every... — read more
