If these other companies look to rise to the top, they should track the Asms that were let go, down. These 10+ yr Lowes employed Asms are what got them to the giants they are. Major experience, moral builders, sales driven, knowledgable Muscles that prooved they were the glue as look at what is going on in these stores.
Lowes loss is your gain!
Just like the Dept Mgrs that have 1 yr to get another job, go scout them out! You won't be disappointed!
