Hobby Lobby raised starting pay to $18.50 per hour. In response, Marv and Little Joe ordered Cheap Snacks to be put in all Store BreakRooms. Which would you rather have, some crackers, or a Decent Hourly Pay Rate??? The walk-outs will continue!

Pathetic
I've been topped out in my part time position for 4 years.
I didn’t get the 40 cent increase;maxed out.Maybe it IS time to start looking.
Many burger joints and restaurants pay more than lowe’s
Now Darden restaurants said this, “ To the CEO’s point, the latest wage increase will raise Darden’s average pay to $20 per hour, including gratuities.
“In some major cities, you’re not hiring anybody for $12 an hour today,” Lee said during Darden’s Q2 earnings call. “Wage rates vary very, very, much depending on geography and overall demand. We have people in our environment that
Time to unionize. Only way to have fair dealings with this company. Just because you like working there today they can pull the carpet out from under you tomorrow by transferring you to another department you don't want to go to, expanding your job duties or giving you a horrible schedule. We are looking to get a union vote in spring when closing the store down would be very expensive for them. What do we have to lose? a paycheck that can be replaced by switching employers if they close the store down vs. them losing tens of millions by closing a store down(and that's one store). Remember no one running this place was involved in anyway with starting this business, truth is they could care less about the long term success of the company, they are in it for the short term and once they fell they have reached the max they can cash the stock out at they will leave and the store level employees and small stockholders will be the ones who get screwed. We have nothing left to lose.
For those getting that 40cent an hour pay raise one you reach the promised land and your pay is maxed for the position, you definetly have a bullseye on your back.
Seems like a decent place, store hours are Monday thru Saturday 9am to 8pm, closed Sundays. Time to get your act together Marvey, Oh and God Bless, PS hope the 3 spirits come and see you on Christmas Eve and kick your A$$
For such a Christian guy, Marv sure is a real Jew when it comes to employee compensation.
Marv: But...but...we have fun size Cheez Its in our compensation plan!
There’s no incentive to stay at Lowe’s. Or to join the company. The yearly 40 cent pay raises are a joke.
Our store is now hiring from the special education school. They literally get dropped off by a special bus at the store. I guess whatever it takes for Marvelous to get paid 11 million bucks a year!
