With the new education being taught today, you would think Lowe's would see where the problem is and plug the drain. It's at Corporate level, with the stupid rules used. Out dated software, unfulfilled promises to their employees. Not enforcing protection against theft. Not stopping theft from the D.C.! Medical insurance that is overpriced and controlling health records to control your doctors/treatments.

The days of Tillman and Stone are well gone.
Lowes morals gone down the c-apper.... no honor, no integrety, fire you because you are just a number even though you worked your way up for over 20 years, learning all you could after college.
Thrown out like the morning trash!
Thank you Lowes.... there are many people that struggled to make house payments after you gave NO notice and just let them go.
single moms, struggling due to finding another job to feed their kids, pets, make payments....
You have ruined the lives of many!!!! This is not the same company that was started in Wilkesboro.
I don't care what he does.. but how he does it. Cutting jobs with zero notice and "transition pay" instead of severance for employees that have given years or even decades to this company is b—s—
I honestly think corporate is doing the right thing overall. And yep, I am an HR whose position was eliminated. Lowe's dumped Orchard and some other trash they should have never purchased, is updating IT finally, gives better guidance on execution, is updating fulfillment and distribution. The path Lowe's was taking was much more like Sears in the late 90s than the current path. Alas, the naysayers will never accept it
He should retire early, real early....and throw a couple million to all the people who’s lives he’s shattered! I wouldn’t let him at the helm of my boat for a minute, he’d run it aground!
We will see that he is not leading in the right direction the same way J.C. Penney seen. This clown is a farce and everyone know's why he got the job.
He could leave the company
Pay Night Stocking Team fair pay for all the hard work they do with your freight, and being short handed because they quit, because the job is not worth the money you pay us. Short handed and no help from staff of the departments. Fix that Ninja Turtle and ill give you an Atta Boy for effort.
A pound of fifties. Then I would lie and say, "well done dumdum."
Maybe use the same parachute Epstein did !
One basket does not make a ball game
Well done? For what? Marvin made cuts that provide short-term profits at the expense of long-term success. The revenue numbers for the quarter look bad and customer traffic was bad. Marvin increased profits only by laying off employees and decreasing wages. Marvin will keep cutting. The next few months are going to be rough for store employees.
How about if Marvin remembers that “there are no cash registers at corporate” and “you either serve customers or your serve those that serve customers?”
How about some cuts and belt tightening at the corporate level, how about some pay cuts for executives so that store employees don’t have to shoulder the entire burden, how about less luxury and opulence at the corporate level like the new technology tower.
Marvin needs to stop saying one thing and doing another. He needs to realize with out the stores Lowe’s is nothing.
Don’t think he can ever be liked. Lots of the hate stems from how he has treated many employees who were friends of mine.
Actually, now I hate you too for even asking such a stupid question!
What would it take? How about if Marvelous Marv were to do well? He has not.
One quarter of "beat the street" results does not make for a good job, particularly when the good results released this week were predicated on some pretty draconian job eliminations.
The quarterly results were the classic result of short-term planning, specifically designed to pump up the numbers. The upward trend will not last.
I would say well done if Marvin would sit down with Bob Tillman and Larry Stone to find out how they built Lowe's to the point where they kicked HD down the hill to #2, and follow that path. I've seen interviews with Mr Tillman, and he is well aware of modern commerce, physical and electronic.
