Lowes started copying Home Depot's business model around 2010.
This was discussed at the corporate level some years ago in meetings that I attended. I'm just surprised it took this long to happen. Lowes started copying Home Depot's business model around 2010. This is just another step in that direction. And I... — read more
Honestly NO ONE IS SAFE!
Eventually Lowes will be mostly part time employees. For now the only positions safe are: LP and PSA DMs. Admin (DM) will be preformed by the new sales manager position, if that happens it would make the most sense to get rid of the Admin ASM (why... — read more

Home improvement giant Lowe's is changing its store staffing model and will be laying off "less than 1 percent" of its employees in the near future, a person familiar with the matter said Thursday. Source is here:... — read more
Former employee, DMIS.
Look around people. It's the,island of misfit toys!
I'm a department manager who has only been with Lowe's for a little over a year.
I'm highly driven, both with goals and tasks but I'm totally worried about seniority. I consider myself a business woman and over the past year I've learned that there is a lot of money to be saved at Lowes and I understand the reason behind it... — read more

DMs Scared
Yes, indeed. They add little value, they know that, Lowes knows it, we know it. It's time to reckon with this - I do not wish ill to anyone, but it's time to wake up, get more productive or the invisible hand of the market will annihilate us all as... — read more

Only losing 2 ASMs
Our store in Northeast Florida is only losing 2 ASMs... They are keeping the store manager and two ASMs. Tomorrow the DMs hear their fate. DMs don't earn their money, to be honest. I can do my DMs job without thinking, and he doesn't work as hard as... — read more
2 ASMs gone at north Florida store - DMs to meet with Store Manger tomorrow.
We lost 2 ASMs tonight, and the DMs have a meeting tomorrow with the manager - bye bye to some of those DMs, and with good reason - they are overpaid and do very little work. One ASM was crying all day, and the other was on the phone walking around... — read more
This will be Lowe's biggest mistake yet!!!
The answer to Lowe's financial problems is the series of Bad decisions made at the corporate level. Buying bankrupt companies, investing in robots to wait on customers, putting 3D printers on the Space Station, LEF, My Lowes Card, etc, etc, etc... — read more
Truth Hurts
Some may not believe me. But it's fact. It's truth and it hurts. Fact: January 9, 2017 all SM and HR were called to an off site meeting. Fact: On 1/9/17 all ASM'S were evaluated Fact: On 1/17/17 ASM'S will either be offered a new position or accept... — read more
Lowe's isn't going anywhere for a long long time
Just today I was walking through Lowe's and there were five DMs just standing at a desk talking. Most of them just down stock things anyways. I'd rather have 2 part-time employees for each one of them to do that and choose the best 5 to give raises... — read more
Be aware

Love where you live?
Lowe's claims to be a company that helps people , "Love where they live" but after recent hour cuts and now position cuts it is clear that they only care about a profit and bonuses. It is sickening that a company would screw over employees and people... — read more

Cut ASMs and DM's down to 5 service managers
Confirmed with another DM that after inventory stores cut ASMs and DM's down to 5 service managers. No more full time employees. Once full timers quit they are replaced by two part timers. Chicago test run found while sales went down, they cut so... — read more
Safe?
Is this only for the east coast? Like the CPOs and Sterling, neither have hit the west side but we're always hearing about it...
Admin ASMs are safe
I would think admin ASMs are safe for now. This round is for sales floor only (except for Night Stock Asm, if your store has one). Receiving, admin and PSA DMs should also be safe.

Store manager was fired today because he leaked the info
So our store manager told us changes are coming and will be finalized by next Tuesday. They had to sign a confidentiality agreement at their meeting yesterday. He did say he would tell us if a rumor was flat out untrue. The 1 SM for 2 stores is not... — read more
Just wait
I think realistically all we can do is wait. What is going to happen is going to happen.. Hopefully the jobs will be based on interview and merit sloughing off the ineffective or lazy managers in the process.. It's a shame it is happening but that is... — read more
Whole stores freaking out!
ASMs are freaking and all our store manager could tell us today is that the meeting was about nothing of the gossip that's been going on that it was about fiscal year ending and numbers. I call BS. As I read on here and I have been hearing is that... — read more
