Masking Layoffs with hirings
I find it disgusting how this story with the company is playing out. Pushing the mass hirings in the media, while at the same time laying current employees left and right. What’s even more insulting is that seasonal hiring was a regular practice for... — read more
Lowes is going to end up with angry employees. And angry employees are not good workers
I don’t see a problem with a set weekend off but it appears that there are not only numerous people who have every weekend off, others with accommodations who can only work 7 hours a day with as many breaks as they need and also lots of call outs on... — read more
Lowes Topix
What happened with Lowes Topix? It does not work? Have people moved to this site now, I see a ton of posts. Hmmm, so Lowes managed to close Topix, they were going to sue them. Maybe Topix caved, anyhow, hope things continue somewhere, Topix was good... — read more
Staffing Model
There’s a new staffing model fixing to drop that will correct the issues of trying to build a schedule that fits into the allotted hours (which are crazy when expectations are so high) Yes, it’s aggressive maybe even extreme but it will work. That... — read more
PSI Coordinator - no severance for me!!
I have been with Lowe's for 11 years. The last year and a half I have been the PSI Coordinator. I work as the "secretary" for the PSI. I was told Friday by my store manager about the PSI program going away. I am not offered any severance pay but the... — read more
Home Depot 99 Cents Smoke Detectors
I just saw on my local news that Home Depot is offering 99-cent smoke detectors this weekend. Crazy! I wonder if Marvin will steal this idea too? He's helping us about as much as he's helping JC Penney.
Lowe's Announces Plans To Invest In More Than 65,000 Jobs In 2019
From CNBC: Lowe’s said Friday it plans to hire more than 65,000 people this year — some permanently and others on a seasonal basis — to help fill roles ranging from customer service to merchandising. It also is planning to ditch some existing roles... — read more
Schedule Rotations Going Away
Our store manager said this morning there’s a very good possibility our rotations will be eliminated. No more two days off together, you will NOT know what days you work until schedule drops! This is what we were told, no BS!
Personal message for Mr Ellison.
Marvin. Christian CEO is an oxymoron. Do unto others as you would have done to you? So CEO can be a Christian on Sunday but not on Monday. Who cares, leave that stuff in the pew. Assuage you guilt some other way. You said you have been the receiver... — read more
PSA/MSA update
MSA here (hate that word!) asking what we can expect after 1/19. Overnights? Traveling team? MSA managers going away?
Marvin contact info
I say we all Email, tweet and call him on our final day. Use company email so he knows who it’s coming from. What’s he going to do, fire you? marvin.ellison@lowes.com 704-758-1000 @MarvinREllison God Bless and see you on the 1st......
Why Lowe’s doesn’t want you to confront a thief
You end up being shot. https://www.click2houston.com/news/shoplifter-shoots-lowes-employee-during-confrontation-officials-say
Low blow Lowe's stricks again.....
I am (is/was/will soon not be) an LPM that makes a difference in my store. I have a great relationship with my store. We just had our 5Q safety celebration and my guys are pumped to get to 6. The only true issue that I have with this layoff is, when... — read more
Life after Lowes
I was an asm in burlington nc and sales manager in greensboro nc that was laid off two years ago. My blood ran blue in both positions was super loyal until myself and two other asms were laid off with me. Lp psi and pse helped me achieve great... — read more
Negative Optics For Ellison’s Layoffs
I already had two customers this evening that saw Ellison’s latest cuts on the news & asked if Lowe’s is in serious financial trouble! The optics of what he’s doing are negative to say the least. We’re the only major home improvement retailer that’s... — read more
Thanks marvin!
We have a baby and no income now! Thanks a lot!
These cuts will result in a law.....
The severance package offer is a slap in the face considering we work 48 hours a week mandatory.
LP bonus
If we stay on until feb 1 and then are let go, do we still receive our bonus from inventory?
ASM open positions and pay scale
The company has had a bunch of ASM positions open for a while now stating that no offers will be made until 1-11-19, with the layoffs I assume many internals in LP and PSI departments would get first dibs at applying for these positions, does ASM... — read more
Severance Pay
When the purge of 17’ happened and the guys got their severance pay they realized they couldn’t go work for a competitor. If you did they had to pay back their pay or get sued. So not only do they force you out of your career they also dictate where... — read more
What is the severance package?
I was told different things, what is the severance package for the different positions that was let go
Why would anyone want to be a manager at Lowe's?
As someone who isn't in management and has been with the company for around 5 years, why would anyone want to move up in this company? It seems like moving up is a good way to ensure you get fired.
My Condolences
I worked at Lowe’s for 5 years I used to work in a LP position for 3 of them. I eventually quit out of frustration about a year and a half ago. Even back then I could see the writing on the wall. I just found out from people I used to work with that... — read more

PSI PROGRAM IS DONE. NO MORE PSI PROGRAM. TAKE YOUR SEVERANCE MONEY AND LEAVE...AVOID LAWSUITS. NICE HUSH HUSH MONEY THERE MY A--!
Alert the media in your area
Alert the media about the layoffs at Lowe's
The army of ex-employees you’re creating today will bury your business
I used to love my job. I was what they always try to measure. Engaged. They took every opportunity and made every attempt to break that bond. Mission accomplished corporate. I’m in neutral, rolling backwards away from Lowes. I’ve applied elsewhere... — read more
Are we sure nobody else is being affected?
Just PSI and LPM?
When will we be notified?
How long will they let us wait and stress over this?
I'm happy about this
I've been looking to get away from Lowe's for a while now considering how bad things have been lately, so if it turns out I can leave with a safety net - jackpot! I'm really sorry for those who are hoping this does not include them, but for me... — read more
This is now a pattern
Can we go one year, just one year without Lowe's pulling something like this on us? Is RIF really the only way they can think of to try and improve profits? How hard is it to figure out that if it hasn't worked until now, it will not magically work... — read more
Hearsay or fact?
Is all the LPM and PSI talk hearsay or has there been an official announcement I missed?
If all of this is true...
... it looks like I'll be out of a job less than a year since I started. Happy new year to me, I guess...
Does PSI get a severance
Does PSI get a severance package? I would think they deserve them. God Bless them and their families.
Severance?
What kind of severance is being offered? DO we know yet? The same as usual or have there been changes?
Applying for currently posted jobs
Will the LP’s and PSI’s be eligible to apply for any of the posted jobs that are currently posted . I used to be an ASM, we have an ASM position posted in our store. I'd like to know this as well. I'm hoping that we will be given a chance to change... — read more
