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

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

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.

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

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

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 

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.

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
