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

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

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

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

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.
