I see so many people who didn't want to lose their jobs end up being laid off, and I'm still here when I've been ready to leave for months now, if not longer. The only thing that's keeping me here is the possibility of severance. If there was a... — read more
Lowe’s Business Resource Groups

Assembly going 3rd party also.
After nearly 14 years of working and busting my behind for the store I worked at, I was laid off along with the FSA. I kind of figured it was coming when they brought in a third party assembler. Plus with all the "improvements" they are doing, I... — read more
FSA
I am an fsa or was and I worked 12 hours today trying to complete projects before I left and I was deleted from the system already when I left. This is going to be horrible for the store I worked. I wanna see Marvin work a 16 hr day when the... — read more
Carvin Marvin Transitional layoff
All this layoff does is help Marvin's expense page to show he pays less for employees for q3. It raises the store expenses by doing all 3rd party but that must be a different page that investors dont see. What is going to do the next quarter and on... — read more
This stinks!
My husband really liked his job and the people he worked with. I don't think he ever had a bad day the whole 6 years he was with Lowe's, until today. They have no idea what they have done. I feel bad for all the people who have had their lives turned... — read more
Not Nice People
I was warned in advance about the practices within Lowes. I wanted to see for myself, as a full retiree with plenty of money, I took a FSA job to actually see the injustice that people had expressed to me. After one year and incredible anguish I... — read more
Specialists safe for now?
Thoughts? Info? Are they going to survive this purge or is the turtle man saving the biggest for last?
FSA Axed This Morning
FSA here... Got the ax this morning. Not going on a rant about my managers, they all treated me well, SM encourages me to apply for a different position. We all knew this was coming, just didn't expect it so soon. Notice ahead of tome... — read more
discounts and termination equals determination
how many FSAs , assemblers, paychecks could be covered by not giving complaining customers advantageous discounts and actually sticking to corporate policy? No "leader" gives zero warnings except when they care more about business than... — read more
Receiving area
Cuts coming tomorrow in receiving department
WARN ACT
Has management explained why the WARN Act does not apply to the FSAs and Assemblers let go today? Federal law requires 60 days notice with plant closures or layoffs of more than 50 employees. Why does the WARN Act not apply to the layoffs today?
Was FSA at Lowe's for 11 Years.
I helped build the store March 2008. Was out sweeping the back Receiving area and ASM escorted me into the Store Manager's Office. 9 years as back-up flat-bed driver and floater delivery driver. Dismissed.
FSA position just got cut about 30 min ago
I have been an FSA for six years at my store and just a half hour ago I got called into the HR office and was told that my job was eliminated as of today. Most FSA’s suspected this was coming but I didn’t think it would happen this quickly. One day... — read more
More face time ?
Yes that's right, Most nights are weekends, mine is the only face the customer will see. What the....
Lowe's is completely directionless
If there is any rhyme or reason to what this management is doing, I can't see it. Unless the goal is to tank the company... In that case, job well done!
Get Ready!! Big changes coming!!
This week is gonna be historic. Be ready.
Write ups at 39 hrs not 40 for full time
Anyone else’s store threatening “documentation” if full timers go over their scheduled 39 hours. That used to be our buffer to keep from going over 40.
MSA overnights in September
How about them apples!! 3 weeks of overnights in September. Wanting 3 major resets done in that time frame. What is corporate thinking???
Store manager selling High dollar items VERY CHEAP!
My SM sells everything from mowers, appliances, and just about whatever else to this guy and his wife for literally pennies on the dollar. Then the family apparently flips the items and even has a website that displays them. They are making... — read more
Hand Printed Signs
We are (the educated Lowe’s associates) wondering how long the hand printed signs at our store are going to remain up. We have several where the word vinyl is misspelled vynail. Our store manager likes to hire from Home Depot (thinking he is... — read more
Let's try it again Read this fast
I have never done anything like this but feel the need to do so. This e-mail is being sent because of your actions toward myself and a lot of others here at the store. Was it worth it? Dear,Mr. Store manager I have never worked for a more... — read more
workday compensation issues
Has anyone else who got a raise,or promotion between Memorial Day and the transition to Workday on July 1st,still waiting for their retroactive pay to show up on their paycheck?Isn't unrealistic to expect an associate to wait now 9 weeks for it to... — read more
My Old Store
I went to my old store to pick up a grill the other week. There was no one in ISLG, plumbing, paint, or home decor. Only sales associate I could find was some new girl in appliances (not yet red vest ready) who had several customers she was trying... — read more
Marvin. You awake?
All money is Lowe’s money. That’s what they believe. Everything is an expense too high. In times like this when good employees are hard to find, Lowe’s has decided they all need to go to save money. They, of course, could keep 8000 or so full time... — read more
Lowes Online/E-commerce not working/struggling
Does anyone else feel that Lowes is struggling with Buy online pickup in store? At our store all online orders go through the customer service desk so customers have to wait until an associate is ready then pull there order. It seems like most... — read more
Who is actually running lowes?
The holding company is in charge of operations. This is why you need a manger approval for every discount. The inventory prices have been off for at least 3 years. I discovered it as a cashier in Garden when Color Spot was still solvent. No one... — read more
More Associates Leaving
Five tenured associates have turned in their resignations at my store over the past week. I turned mine in today making it six in eight days. Manager wanted to know why. I told him “Marvin Ellison.” I’ve been a Lowes employee since 2007. Time to... — read more
Department Supervisors job description
So we are being told there are 2 different department supervisors... the ones that do everything including running the whole store and the ones who mainly have no responsibility at all! They also get to pretty much open all the time Along with the... — read more
Lowes’s in a few years
If you want to see what Lowes will be like in a few years head over to the JC Penney’s section of the layoff dot com. It’s sad and it’s where Lowes is headed.
No reason for things to get better
As bad as this stamets sounds, I’m afraid it’s the truth. The leaders don’t seem to be worried too much about the way things stand at the company, even more, they seem to be generating this on purpose. When you’re lead by people who are not afraid to... — read more
There are plenty of reasons why people don't just quit
It’s very easy for someone to say “Why not quit?” When they aren’t in your circumstances. First, some people who have been employed at Lowe’s for a long time, it was once a decent place to work. Then the changes came. But if you’ve worked for... — read more
Just not a happy place to work anymore
Feels like the company is going in the wrong direction, more angry customers, miserable employees and the place is just a pit of despair overall. I feel depressed walking through the doors when going to work. I hope it's just my store that feels like... — read more
Big changes coming?
I keep hearing there will be big changes in August, and people are being very tight-lipped about it. Anyone know what it is?
If it’s so bad, why not quit?
If you work at a Lowe’s, then there are other places to work. McDonalds, Family Dollar, Home Depot. You don’t live in a place with no other options. People act like it’s Guantanamo Bay. If you truly hate your job so much, why don’t you quit? I did. I... — read more
Can we counter this with some non-fluffy PR facts?
I'd say the fact Lowe's treats its employees like c-ap is more mind-blowing than the total number of its stores, but that's just me. 8 mind-blowing facts about Lowe's'... — read more
