Marvin must be gambling the severance money in Vegas because nothing has been sent yet!
It is the full-timers that are not management who are the hardest workers in Lowe's
It is the full-timers that are not management who are the hardest workers in Lowe's and especially many of the sales specialists. Appliances are the highest earning products in the stores so if he cuts appliances then he is guaranteeing additional... — read more
HR meeting?
Anyone else having a big HR meeting in their district this week? So close to Vegas, what could it be about?

Any truth to this?
ALL FT'ers should be worried because ASM's in my store told us all today FT'ers will be gone by 2019 end. Can anybody confirm this?
Found better job. Best way to give two weeks?
Unique situation here. I found a better job. Not retail. I’m looking for the most Awesome way to give notice. Any ideas appreciated.
Should I worry?
Our shipments have halved in the past month. I can't figure out why or what's happening - and my manager is tight lipped. I keep thinking we might be headed for a closing, but there have been no other indications nor any announcements from Lowe's... — read more
Good to Great (with half the employees that had us great until C level management took us to good)
Marvin thinks he can get us to great without anyone to carry the packs.
New time scheduling "tool" shows how little sales specialists are valued
I always knew Lowe's did not value it's employees and especially it's sales specialists. But after seeing how Lowe's is jerking it's sales specialists around and may only schedule work a few hours one day and then ten hours for several days, etc. I... — read more
It will take another 10-15 years for the management to run the company to the ground
The way things are going, Lowes IS Sears. It will just take another 10-15 years for corporate management to complete the process of running the company into the ground. Closing stores, laying off professional sales, and eliminating LP is a good... — read more
HDs HDE Program Nixed, PSE Next?
HD just fired all SMs (=MSM) and will only offer install on windows from here on out. Will Lowe’s follow suit and drop PSE? Seems plausable with Lowe’s following HD’s lead these days.
Big Bad Wolves
Evening commarades, As I've been analyzing the forums over the past few years I've noticed people seem to be overwhelmed with feeling powerless. We must change this attitude if we want to encourage equality and instead use this energy to counter the... — read more

I Missed It........

Another emmbaresment- Lowe’s is shutting down Iris smart home platform

Customers think Lowes is Sears
Customers seem confused by the Craftsman tools now at Lowe’s; they think we are now Sears. In the past week I’ve had customers asking where the snow tires were, where was our outerwear (coats and jackets), and the appliance guys are getting calls for... — read more
Trojan Horse
My observations over the past few months have concluded that Lowe's Corp has convinced itself that its lower level workforce is the reasoning for its woes. Reality stands that corporation has bad decision making, crony capitalism, and outright... — read more

Posting removed
Someone posted a notice to shoplifters giving them tips now that lp is gone. I took it to be tongue in cheek satire. Apparently it was all completely true stuff, Lowes had it pulled
It’s a hard decision
Marvin, Sometimes as a CEO you make hard decisions for the best benefit of the employees (STOCKHOLDERS). These decisions are not made lightly (HASTILY YES) , or without great forethought (GIANT AXE MORE LIKELY). Therefore, after lengthy... — read more
Marvin
Have you noticed that Marvin smiles to your face (hey team, all the team thus and team that stuff, god bless) while stabs you in the back and kicks you to the curb (all the store closings and layoffs, psi program)?

Since it looks more and more likely that the quarterly report is not going to go well, how soon do you think we'll be learning about more layoffs as a direct result of it?

MSM layoff is imminent.
MSM supervised PSI and PSE positions. PSI is gone. PSE is moving to an out of store fully appointment based configuration like Home Depot. So Market Sales will not be a thing anymore. Position is costly and ineffective. Sorry but you are out.
