Thread regarding Lowe's Cos. layoffs

Screw the virus! How many 10’s have you got for the store? Are you offering EPP’s? Get out to Lawn and Garden and load that mulch now! If you call in, it better be two hours before your shift! You better have a doctors note after two days and get your rear back in here! We need sales!

Third, if an individual associate becomes ill with a confirmed case of the coronavirus, the associate will receive two weeks pay. If the associate is unable to return to work after those two weeks, additional pay replacement may be available for up to 26 weeks for both full- and part-time hourly associates.

Walmart also noted in the memo that it continues to monitor the situation and that it will continue to “take any and all measures necessary to ensure the well-being of our associates, customers and members.”

Walmart is better than Lowe’s now

• The first allows employees to stay home if he or she is unable to work or feels “uncomfortable” at work, by waiving its attendance policy through the end of April. While the normal attendance policy will not be enforced in this circumstance, in order to have the leave paid, associates must use their regular paid time-off options.

• Second, if a store, club, office or distribution center fall under a mandated quarantine by either the government or Walmart, or if an individual employee has been told they need be quarantined, these employees will receive up to two weeks of pay and associated absences will not count against attendance

Go hide in your moms basement. Pandemic lmao 22 people have died in three months in United States from corona..... 56 thousand died last year from normal flu. You do the math. Media filed for ratings

Clean and safe stores is an absolute down right lie! I have been with Lowe’s over a Decade and I have never seen the store so dirty and unsafe. Our break room is filthy, bathrooms are disgusting, in my store of the cashier at self check out always has a can of Lysol on them just to spray the air so they don’t have to smell the rotten c-ap from the bathroom. I’ve been working outside the past couple of days getting our garden center ready, every square inch of product is coated in bird p–p, no dust masks (we sold them all) We won’t allow customers out there during the day while we’re working on our resets it’s not safe for them and our store manager was concerned about the bird p–p, But hey we’re just employees we don’t really matter, a customer could spend money here we need to make sure they stay safe I can get a disease and die the company won’t really care, they actually would view it as a plus they could probably hire someone and pay them less to do my job.

Is it a surprise? When Marvin came in he just demanded clean and safe, as if that was always easily achievable but the managers just never asked for it. When that didn't really happen they skipped to the finish line and setup a PSA just DECLARING it like Michael Scott declares bankruptcy. If they can trade safe for a facade of safe they'll choose the latter every time.

Pandemic aside, this company doesn't do anything in general to ensure our health. Everything is filthy, MSTs spraypainting while store is open, no masks, cement dust on everything, crusty keyboards, doors always up so the store fills up with bugs , blatantly overlooked associate hygene (sneezing without covering mouth, wiping nose on sleeve, Manager rolls his eyes but says nothing), dirty breakroom with a disgusting old couch in it. I used to work in manufacturing and it was definitely cleaner than this place.

Clean Safe Stores! Clean for who? Cattle? We send Cashiers to clean the bathrooms and empty the trash. Then they ring customers all day. Nobody at all cleans the break room. Ive noticed that not one Manager eats in the breakroom. That’s OK. They have to touch the same dirty keyboards as us, and at some point will have a customer sneeze on them or a dirty cart too.

I only have two days worth of sick time. What happens if I get it at work? Will they pay my additional sick time?

Talk is cheap and that’s all we’ll get from Marvelous is bu*sht.
