Paranoia
Email or no email, it doesn't matter now what they say. It's too late. All my co-workers are paranoid. From part-timers up to managers, they are all walking on eggshells, and have been since the last layoffs. One thinks the other is either going to... — read more

Human Resources

Time Management
I agree Lowes has the worst management I've ever seen! Employees walk in with food, clock in, then sit in the break room and eat for a half hour or more. How does this go unnoticed? Hard working employees get pushed harder, while lazy unmotivated... — read more
Sales Specialist Plumbining
In my opinion, getting rid of the "Specialist" position would be a big mistake. In reality I really don't care what they call my position as long as they don't try to mess with my pay rate. However, Specialist's (or Pro's) are in their position for... — read more

Most stores will be down to one ASM and lp and hr will become regional or district-related and will cover many stores

Can we please get some actual merchandise into our stores?

Will ASMs,HRs, LPs be straight up laid off or will they be moved into other positions like the DMs were?
My 2 cents
In a nutshell. My store has been steadily going downhill. Moral is at an all time low. Not enough people working ever. "Service managers" are a joke. Etc. etc. I planned on making a career at Lowes and I was working hard to get it. I'm a sales... — read more
