Pay Raise Smoke and Mirrors

Another false show for the news media to portray Marv as a great benevolent corporate leader. I got called into the office to tell me I wasn’t getting a raise because I was being paid more than the market average for my position. I am not kidding... — read more 

POWERBALL

Maybe Melvin will hit the 1.9 billion lottery tonight. If so, he will almost win as much as he lost in Canada. Sad.

Ellison the Id--t loses 2 Billion

No one ever called Melvin a genius (except Melvin)..but man this was just stupid. Then he comes to his employees with crumbs (172 million) and expects us to be happy? Nah. Try harder, bud.

Black Friday callouts

Cmon they dont need the entire staff at the store. All to hold the customer's hand and baby step them throughout the aisles? Nope. ENJOY YOUR DAY WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS..NOT IN THAT EVIL MATRIX.

Firing spree in Derby, CT

Fired 7 people this month. Only thing in common is they were all full time employees. Hmm...

Marvins position

It is simple guys and gals. Marvin was only hired to gut the company. That is the only experience he has. When there is no more blood, the hedge fun we’ll move on.

That's a cardinal mistake

I understand that this place can't attract almost anyone anymore unless they offer higher pay to new hires. However, the management must understand that it is still not a very attractive salary, and in addition, there are still many things that... — read more 

Lowes no longer cares about long term employees

Been with the company over 16 years. Worked my way up to multiple titled positions. 2 years ago they got rid of certain pro sales positions. Now 2 years later, no raises and now being told I have to do my current position plus the work I did as a pro... — read more

Not cool

11 cent raises, off ONE weekend a month which is BS, computer generated scr$w you schedule. Whats so hard about a set schedule? So... no time for family, no way to work a second job if someone needed. So they have you by the dangling bits.

Much needed repost

Marvin Ellison is Clueless Another Friday, & another Marvelous Podcast to listen to. What will he tell us he’s cutting today? Or perhaps, it’ll be about more choreographed store visits. You can rest assured you won’t hear anything innovative or... — read more

11 cent raises

Everyone in our store is leaving. We are so excited to leave this dungeon of gloom. Take your code 50s, your credit apps, your LTRs and your morning huddle and insert it snugly into your lower colon. Loser job.

Is your store inventory always off?

They call it shrink but let's be honest and say what it really is. THEFT. Watch your managers especially night ops supvr. Never seen inventory off by so much these days

That time of year...

...for Lowe's house cleaning. I work in Region 1 and learned today that our District Manager got kicked to the curb on Friday. I also was told that the Regional ISM got similar treatment.

Relation to Manager

Can an ASM be biologically blood related to an associate in the store he is working at i.e son-daughter. Seems wrong to me. There is no way to not show favoritism.

Full time Rotation?

They offered us a 4 day work week with set days or keep your 5 day shift with a rotation with one weekend off a month . Now they say there is no rotation for the full time 5 day a week associates and the 4 days a week kept there's. My scheduled days... — read more 

Lowes is garbage

Lowes is garbage. When your ASM laughs off your physical injuries on the clock and gives you the "just tough it out" response you know it's a c-r-a-p place to work. When your mgmt hides in so called "important conference calls" for hours with no... — read more

The Cuts Are Coming To The Stores

It’s another Happy Holiday Season just around the corner. And if you’re F/T in a store you’re going to get it right up the A==. Pink Slips are coming so Marv and his cronies can keep collecting millions!

People that are only paid as part timers

I applied for a part-time job and was paid as a part-timer. However, now I do as much work as if I were a full-timer. I don't know if the something similar happens with other retailers, it is very possible, however, I don't want to work under these... — read more

Unionize Lowes

If 9 stores @ Starbucks can get unionized in Texas so easily then why is it so hard to do this at Lowes - it only takes one to get the message across that the managers from DM levels - including MST - MKTHRBP to the store manager are racist cronies... — read more

Safety

One of the things that drives me nuts is how Lowes preaches safety 24/7 and yet they couldn't care less about fixing forklifts, Ballymores, or replacing broken ladders, racking and aisle blockers.

Lowes is bottom of the barrel

I mean c'mon maybe 10 yrs ago but now it's just a dead end job. When family or friends ask where I work I just say I'm unemployed and looking..know anybody hiring? Why suffer the embarrassment? WE CAN DO BETTER PEOPLE.

They should have removed Ellison

Any reorganization that includes a shakeup among the top brass can be considered a failure in advance if Ellison is still CEO at the end of it. I don't give a damn about the CMO or the VP of merchandising or whoever else. I do care that the man who... — read more

Store closings and layoffs

Can anybody shed some light on possible store closings or layoffs? There are too many rumors going around and no official info to support any of them.

Last one there please turn out the lights...

I'm sure this isn't unique to our store. People quitting EVERY DAY. No service desk staff, no head cashiers, almost no department coverage, good morale is a distant memory, managers giving up and leaving or wanting to leave, district manager... — read more
