I keep hearing that Supervisors will be cut down to 32 hours a week starting in December. Supposedly to cut payroll but still keep flexibility to add hours if things get busy.

With CCS, good luck with them trying to cut full time hours. I did cut full time hours to 38, and 37 in January last year. They would cut part time hours at bare minimum now as oppose to full time.
yeah.....problem is were actual people with actual bills and not just resources that can be expanded and reduced. you do this and everyone will just look for new jobs and probably no notice given. it would happen pretty immediately. benefits dont pay your heating bill.
highly doubt anyone at the ASM level would even be told this this far out. i assume anyone suggesting they are hearing this are nothing more than trolls.
ironically as you do spout these rumors.....the supervisor level continues to have more task put on them that now includes going to competitors stores each week and writing a report on what theyre doing. i feel bad for people in these positions because the job responsibilities for them are now beyond what they were when they were service and support managers that marvin himself tried to claim was too much. im surprised they havent found a way to make them salaried.
I heard it directly from two ASMs complaining about it to each other. I asked a friend in another store and she said she heard the sane thing. It sounds like they want to reduce the hours to 32 during slow times like January and then increase them when things get busy. Where they justify it would be that as long as it’s at 32 we would still keep our benefits just not the pay.
Full timers, supervisors, specialists minimum 39 hours, they cut the part time worker hours down a intense amount and they are also going to make up ground when they cut the allowance from the people who are still getting it.
32 hours a week and less is what Target is doing so they don’t need to pay health insurance benefits.

CNN Business interviewed 23 current and former Target employees in recent months, including department managers, who say hours have been scaled back even as Target has increased starting wages. Many of these workers say the cuts, which come as Target's business is in its strongest position in more than a decade, have hurt them financially. CNN Business agreed to withhold the last names of several of the current employees and the city where their store is located so they could speak freely.
"I got that dollar raise but I'm getting $200 less in my paycheck," said one, Heather, who started in November at a Florida store working around 40 hours a week. She's now below 20 some weeks, she said. "I have no idea how I'm going to pay rent or buy food."
I would love to do 32 hours a week and get full-time benefits
Maybe this is the final stage of getting full timers to quit.
i hope so because my super and i had NO STAFF today in any dept and we worked straight thru with no breaks or lunches ... yup, its THAT bad
If Marvin and Joe spend another 2 years “leading” the company, everyone’s hours will be cut to 0.
as badly staffed as lowes is......as weak as the applicant pool is...youd literally be asking the entire group to go find a new job. to cut a full timers hours by an entire day would guarantee for the majority they no longer can pay their bills. full time status means the wages are not supplemental.
lowes policy for supervisors, specialist and i think all full timers is at least 39 hours. this was reaffirmed with the new schedule matrix and strengthened by the fact that part timers are no longer guaranteed any hours. likewise part timers must now have open availability to get any hours at all.
i wouldnt go around saying you keep hearing this unless its coming from positions higher than you or you can point to some document that suggest this. talking to peers is often pretty meaningless.
I heard it's all Full- timers.🤷
