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

I do not see HR being in store past September. In October Lowes gave all salaried employees a raise if they was not at $47,500ish for the overtime law that was supposed to pass. When doing so Lowes did not adjust the scale of the max so in my market... — read more

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

Laid off or demoted?
