Thread regarding Lowe's Cos. layoffs

with all else aside, lowes doesnt value a good employee. they see you as a resource and a costly one at that. i have a coworker k–ln it in every metric. top 10 regionally every qrtr. he has been given pins, and paper certificates sometimes months after making lowes millions.. yea, they laugh all the way to the bank

Luck Flowe’s!!

@1wnt+19Ud8K6G asked" "What stipend are you referencing here? I ask because I get nothing."

Before the end of Fiscal Year 2011, associates could earn commissions (a kickback from Lowe's profit) and SPIFFs (basically a kickback from the manufacturer) for selling things like major appliances, special order items and so forth.

The company, under the Niblock-Damron regime decided to "help our associates have more regularity in their finances" stopped paying those. What they did was add up all of one's commissions and SPIFFs for 2011, cut that in half and then paid you an allowance each pay period of 1/26th of the 50%. It was promised to be paid for as long as the associate stayed in an hourly position in a Lowe's store.

Marvin did away with it and we lost a lot of knowledgeable, tenured employees.

I’m part time in my department and have the best numbers easily beating the two full timers because they are never in the department.

What stipend are you referencing here? I ask because I get nothing.

You guys are still sore cause you lost all that easy money.

My main delight, management pretty much leaves me to myself
Only numbers I care about are the digits on my paycheck.
