They say it's not about money. We lost two ASM's. Both had been there for well over 15 years, maybe 20. We had 14 department mangers with 7 new "service manger" positions available. I am one of them. I have been there for 12 years. Not one of us that... — read more 

At my location all I hear is "your lucky, your position went untouched" Well let me give the LP perspective on this: From the beginning of this fiasco, Lowes refers to as restructuring, we were called off vacations etc and told you must be in store... — read more 

Been with Lowes now 14 years and 13 as a dept mgr, managed 4 different positions with the company, ad more knowledge, experience, and had a harder work ethic than everyone they selected over me for their positions, gave everything i had to Lowes and... — read more 

Once you sign they don't have to pay you! They may decide to make you go to North Carolina, their home court, where their lawyers are familiar with the judges. They could also make up anything they want in their electronic record about you; thereby... — read more 

Every DM released from our store had over 7 years service. The only DM that was not selected that had less than 7 years, had less than 1 year service. The SM moved two specialsts around and opened up a specialist posiition in his dept. Guess who is... — read more 

Worked as an Zone Manager when Lowe's started building stores in central FL for several years (helped open several of those stores). Later went to work as the Manager of an auto repair shop for about 9 years. I have all kinds of management training... — read more 

So 7 of us out of 16 are getting a new position, but for how long?? Lowes is not a place to grow, your jobs are never safe. COO took on an 18 million dollar bonus, i guess he has to pay for it some how. Corporate doesn't care about its employees, we... — read more 

The dept manager position were also eliminated from our store .11 of us had to apply for the 5 new service manger positions. They laid off 1 asm. Its b---s--- but what can you do. The store manger interviewed everybody and honestly of he dont like u... — read more 

At my store we've been interviewing for the last few days and told we'd have an announcement on Thursday (Jan 26) regarding who got the new positions. It's been silent since my interview and am curious if they were going to call/talk to those that... — read more 

Am I the only one to think that the DMs got a great deal? Come on, one year to find another job, you keep your current salary, and yet have the same job duties as an average - maybe even PT - worker? If you can't find a job in retail as a former... — read more 

This you could maybe argue the fact that the playing field was level. The reason the terminated ASM were not given this opportunity is because we had already been selected. Just wrong on so many levels..........

My son has been a loyal worker of Lowe's for 12 years. He has received excellent evaluations and commendations from his supervisors. He has worked his way from a $9 per hour salary to $18 with added benefits . . . not great for it is a living. He was... — read more 

I have been reading some of the posts and I am one of the employees that "didn't fit". Being with the company for only a few years and being in my upper 50's, it would be very tough to prove age discrimination. After reading the agreement several... — read more 

from what i have seen this is not effecting the install sales managers, is this right??? also are now all dept managers even install sales on the regular schedule with one weekend off a month???? thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It appears that the individuals that were terminated, i.e. permanently laid off, were the highest paid and many times the highest performers. This will leave a reduced and less efficient force. This is the only thing LOWES has in there direct... — read more 

Some states calculated your weekly benifit by subtracting the states average income from your severance then dividing the balance by 26 weeks. If that dollar amount exceeds that you'll get nothing. If it does not exceed it you will only get the... — read more 

The company is going down, Home depot will hire those ASM and eat up more of Lowes untill they are gone!

I have looked and can't seem to find if the Memphis tn stores were affected by the layoffs?

Just left a position at a Lowe's in NY's Hudson Valley. People quit and never get replaced. 2 employees (sometimes just 1) scheduled for each dept, one opener one closer. Nobody to cover your lunches or breaks except your overworked coworker in the... — read more 

To the person from the NY'S Hudson Valley store.........you hit it right On! Funny we have the exact same issues in the Plymouth Minnesota store. I can only believe these are common problems in all their stores, not to mention the 2 female ASM'S in... — read more 

What's the probability this rumor is true? What are your thoughts?

All Lowe's DMs should take this restructure as an opportunity to go to a better job & company. The Tuesday meeting was an orchestrated joke & insult. You get to interview for one of the new service manager roles (aka the previously known ASM job) for... — read more 

Been with Lowes for 5 years can't even move up in my own department. They would rather hire externally than internal. Worst company I've ever worked for. And to you who says why haven't you moved on believe me been trying since I was hired. I hate... — read more 

I was an ASM for Lowes. I had been a Sales Manager and Operations Manager then an ASM after previous layoff. Difference is I am 58. I had 16 years with the company. Was second in pay only to the Store Manager. They kept the ASM's with 6 months... — read more 

I am retired and I work for Lowe's part time. I see whats going on. Corporate should visit stores. It is so amazing how much items we are out of. That is why customers are leaving.

These corporate yahoo's have no idea what we do. I wasn't a member of management who lost his job but I am feeling the pain because these people are like family to me. When they hurt we all hurt. What is devastating is they announced it on CNN and we... — read more 

Are there any SM or HR people willing to share what the questions were on the "performance survey" that they took regarding the ASMs? So far everyone has been tight lipped on that. Was that included in the disclosure agreement you had to sign? Seems... — read more 

Does anyone who went through the interview know the 4 questions asked?? Would like a little info prior to my interview. Thanks

I see that after getting their asses pounded on these sites, that there are a number of "Lowe's is the best thing ever!" posts all over here now. Lowe's is too cheap to pay people to do this, but like Scientology, they have devoted (brainwashed)... — read more 

At my store in Utah we have one lp associate. We have slot of shoplifting and they know they can get away with it. If all other Lowe's have the same non existent security I'm sure this company loses a fortune. I've never seen a company that basically... — read more

For once I am happy it's not me who lost a job. I have been looking for work in some professional capacity since Obama took office (2009) and have struggled ever since then. While being at Lowe's may not be my dream job, I respect the fact that the... — read more 

Anyone notice that on the day of the layoff that you couldn't post here at thelayoff.com regarding Lowes. The Captcha system conveniently went down so no one could give updates on the layoffs. I tried posting of three different computers and the... — read more 

We get it. You lost your job. It's a shame and we hate it for you. Littering the board with whiny posts, calling for boycotts, encouraging unions, and all other petty posts only makes you look foolish and makes me proud to no longer have you as a... — read more
