I thought Lowe's was helping it's employees....oh we care we wanna help... here's a 300 dollar bonus .....the very next week.... sorry, we are going to 3d party delivery you have 1 week and 3 days. I was a driver loved my job. The 3d party guys screwing it all up no customer service. They say they're helping , then canning employee's departments nation wide
Losing my position as a live nursery specialist has brought tremendous anxiety more of a speration anxiety. Supporting my community for the past 13 years created a close relationship with my customers along with major landscaping business I feel I have failed. I’m not in control to help my trusted clientele who seeks to my service weekly. Having to take a week off to mentally accept I can no longer do my job it’s still a major toll on me. I’m forgiving to be able to keep my pay but am also not eligible for raises. Bonuses is just free money whether or not if I’m getting the big one. I am looked down through the eyes of my community. They understand having to remind them of the change constantly which brings me sadness. It’s like a dead end street. I have lost all hope with my community. What ever happened to our vision? I was raised into this company with a vision they learned me years ago. It deminished like it was never a factor. Lowe’s vision statement... we will provide customer-valued solutions with the best prices, products and services to make Lowe's the first choice for home improvement.
So Marvin , nearly tanked Depot , he tanked Penny’s and Lowe’s thought this was a good hire ? Typical Lowe’s move
All PSE positions are being considered as non essential. New policies and program shifts are being implemented to turn the exterior installation division into purely type II , with online and store managed leads going directly to CQ. These will be disseminated to vendors/installers for remeasure/materials. All proposals, contracts, permitting, COC, will be electronic. This is a $600m/yr potential savings for the company, with a hoped for $1b increase in sales.
Marvin be like twice the sales with half the associates? Yes! Let’s make this a thing from now on!
I'm off for the last week of April then they only have me working 8 hours the first week of May what is going on?
How long can Marvin blame past management? Will he ever take responsibility?
How many jobs has Marvin sent to India?
Lowes is delaying employee expense checks. I wonder why?
Wish Lowes was more like Home Depot. Like no Marvin.
Just told I'm not getting a merit increase because I'm making the max. Wish I was one of marvins boys.
Marvin has to take enough from the people that made lowes to pay his buddies their big money.
Can confirm below as being true, my SM has a wife affected by this restructuring.
As of Feb 2020. Organization recently downsized their Area HR Business Partners. Some were let go immediately, while others have remained on board until the end of March for spring hiring activities, but have they have been notified of their job eliminations. Position previously had 2 Area HR's per district, which has now been reduced to 1 per district. Lowe's has been advertising spring hiring for hourly workers, while salaried positions are being eliminated without much communication either internally or externally. Occurred shortly after the ASA to SSA restructuring.
God bless poor Marvin as he struggles trying to decide how to eliminate full time employees and their benefits and replace them with temporary part time kids who will never show up. He has the weight of the world on his shoulders trying to increase profits and the price of his stock. Please pray that he continues to get God's guidance.
ASA became SSA with scheduling responsibilities (along with ASM's and store manager). Department supervisors will no longer have anything to do with Kronos. There are other rumors that have so far not materialized, such as the 1 specialist per department and the reduction of full-time from 39 to 32 but never say never.
All those HRs should have not signed the agreement not to come back on Lowe’s because the ASA is what the HR was doing. How dumb of Lowe’s to give an hourly associate who gossips about all the other hourly associates and how she has access to everyone’s time cards and can do what she wants to them and can see what is in everyone’s files, those should have been all external hires!
I was on vacation when the RTM Clerks were given "the speech". Got mine on Monday, yet I'm still bustin' a– doing my job, which absorbed a lot of the SOS Coordinator roles, then the FSA's duties were passed on to me when they got axed one day, with no notice (same day as the assemblers). Now the poor Receiving Clerk is going to get to do all this AND her regular duties! The 3rd party janitorial service is a joke & I know costs way more than the one employee made. And Marvin calls RTM Clerks "nonproductive". I wish he'd come be my helper for a day.
Was called into office today to let me my position as Live Nursery Specialist is no more. Apparently, there is no need for Nursery Specialists anymore. I will keep my pay as a customer service associate but lose my Specialist bonus.
Lowes just gave the end date for all RTM positions cut install office staff in half, offered to go out the the sales floor . Completely different hours and responsibilities .
just got out of my store managers office where I was informed that the rtm position is no longer. Going to a centralized hub and I’m being moved else where.
Will ASM's continue to have a position in the stores or will department supervisors absorb these rolls as they are more in tune with the floor staff and responsibilities
PSE is the big concern.
Marvin will fail because 3rd party DOES NOT WORK! Look at XPO, CPO, etc - all failures.
And this central planning theory is a failure too. Lowes is headed in the wrong direction. More cuts to an already sc-apless bone will only quicken the pace.
PSE - ran by 3rd party
LP- gone
DISTRICT HR - gone
This will happen after Vegas
“ Changes in 2020... company is rethinking HR in stores. ASA will see more responsibilities along with higher pay in 2020.”

The company won’t rethink HR in stores. As you mentioned, they have the ASAs doing similar work for much less in pay. Even with a pay increase, ASAs will never earn what HR Managers earned otherwise the company wouldn’t have eliminated HR to begin with. This is what the company does - eliminate roles and reintroduce a new role/title that does pretty much the same thing (if not more) at a fraction of the pay.
Department Managers > Department Supervisor (Increased responsibilities and a cost cutting measure because some are key carriers just like ASMs.)
Loss Prevention & Safety Manager > Asset Protection & Safety Manager (depending on your store’s risk level and one Senior Asset Protection, Operations & Safety Manager that travels the market to assist the stores with no AP on site. A cost cutting measure since there is no more LP at every store.)
HR Manager > ASA (Cost cutting measure.)
DSM and DSSM > combined to make one new position (Increased responsibilities and a cost cutting measure.)
Changes in 2020... company is rethinking HR in stores. ASA will see more responsibilities along with higher pay in 2020. What a slap in the face to the HR managers that left only to bring in less qualified to perform the same task.
Pse will be majorly overhauled in 2020
It’s Lowe’s you never know what is going to happen always have a resume handy!
To avoid tax implications, yes, any major cuts that will be marked against existing losses must come in year one of a new CEOs tenure. I would say if a program is in place on 31 December, 2019 it will likely have legs into 2020.
I thought the end of 2020 for all transitions to be completed.
Isn’t Marvin’s master plan supposed to be full effect by the end of the fiscal year?
