The culture of yes men

I don’t think anyone can argue that this leadership put in a standard that only people that blindly follow the rules and never question the decisions of the tier above can hope to progress at Lowe's. I don’t have a problem understanding the yes men... — read more

Things that make that noise are falling fast. You know, like Lowes. Marvin actually told investors on a conference that he lost their money because he didn’t watch it. Unreal.

Uhmmm. We lost .9% of our profits and our totally shocked.
