What store or region are you at.? What else has changed at your store in rec.?
We have three receivers at my store and in the second week of January 2 are being scheduled on the floor one and appliances one in seasonal both say they will quit before they work that crazy schedule they said they were told there won’t be any need for more than one full-time receiver back there
The most I could see would be CDL deliveries going third party. That would reduce backend staff. If you look at the Orlando stores they all have full time receivers and some have four. Check the org chart. Clearly some folks throw s–t at the wall to see if it sticks. Also, why would a store post ft jobs in the middle of the winter when they are cutting hours. Let's think before we post.
Department supervisors are already the workhorses in the store. This just means that even more will be dumped on their plate due to lack of full-time help and everybody's stress levels in the stores gets ratcheted up even more.
Most FT non managers are getting termed at end of fiscal year. It's a fact.
go search "lowes career opportunities". there are ZERO FT postings anywhere right now in my district and district north.
the cushy people clean up your garbage because your work ethics are non existent .
It’s all about “doing more with less” folks. What @1rtl+18mSDWxI said earller would seem to correlate with what executive mgmt has said was coming. Payroll dollars are basically being taken from the back end i.e. non-selling areas and moved onto the sales floor. The increased workload in the backend will basically fall onto the receiving managers.
Give that money package then
Think it will be more non selling positions going away. Install sales is going in January
One this is certain; Lowe’s will be cutting staffing and pay, it’s the only play in Marvin’s play book. The summer the board is supposed to vote if Marvin gets to be Chairman of the Board. It doesn’t look good for him.
We're supposed to leave the loading doors open so the thieves no longer have to push stuff out the front. They're scaring customers and well still be able to there picture.
Staffing at test stores in Orlando was
Receiving/Delivery manager
1FT Back end clerk
1PT Back end clerk
1PT Receiver stocker
Will be rolling out 2nd quarter 2021 company wide
So who would offload the ltl carriers throughout the week. Lowe’s is growing its internet sales. Those orders are delivered during normal business hours. Do you think the receiving clerk or the Backend/XPO Delivery Manager has time for all of those tasks? Not to mention that the CRTV operations have been suspended. Apparently there is “opportunity” for you to learn more about backend operations.
I'm not sure what's gonna happen guess we will have to see but something will change
Why absorb when you can just do away with the position and hire them in as fresh starter at lower pay . They've did it last year.
Receiving personnel will no longer be in there little own world of mon-fri/cushy schedules and being able to get on the intercom every time they’re asked for help by a customer.
We’re going good faith and direct delivery receiving associates are getting absorbed into the store say goodbye to your set schedules
