Wow how lovely was the meeting at your store? Dont you love how they make you come in early just so they can make you sit on buckets n boards for 1.5 hours. I was p-ss-d when I came in saw hundreds of chairs sitting out front yet they make us sit on flippin buckets. Probably Marvin's Idea

We used the plastic Adirondack chairs from the front. Sounds like your management team are a bunch of inconsiderate @$$hats.
I’m no Marvin fan, but your management is to blame for this one. We always get garden chairs to sit in. Maybe the next meeting someone can suggest better chairs with a few volunteers to pick them all up and put them back once the meeting is over.

We had our meeting after the store closed, those in attendance were mostly the closers who couldn’t escape. Out of about 140 employees only about 35 showed for the meeting. 10 closers, 25 other employees who were mostly managers. I’d say the effectiveness of these meetings is gone. Back when I stated with Lowe’s, 8 years ago, the whole store would attend.
In reality there is nothing shared in these meetings that can’t be better shared in a written memo. Nowadays we are so worn down by the lack of product to sell, the angry customers because there is no help on the floor, the directives from management (leads, credit, protection plans, SMART selling, and on and on and on), cashiers yelling for code 50’s and carts that we don’t want to spend anymore time at the store then we have to.
