Maybe it’s better to make the leadership part timers
At my store nothing good has come from the changes. A lot of par timers, long term employees long gone, sales are down, basically a big mess. I swear it would be much better for the shareholders to make the leadership part time employees, as they... — read more
Sudden drop in sales

Has anyone seen any positive impacts of Marvin’s “brilliant” changes on the field?

Anyone else have a hard time working with the new part-timers?
Don’t want to badmouth anyone, but at my store it has been a mess, think that took an hour to do now take 2 hours, and the newbies even don’t want to learn anything. Is that the general opinion, or was my location just unlucky to get bad workers.

Good time to join Lowe's?
I'm guessing I can get a more honest answer to this question here than anywhere else: is this the right time to join Lowe's?
Any new layoffs?
The layoff situation seems to ne quieting down a little, at least what I’m seeing. Can we expect another wave or have they decided to slow the cuts down, at least until the spring season is over, or did people just get tired of talking about layoffs?
