Thread regarding Lowe's Cos. layoffs

Find the hardest working person in your department and just one degree more than they do. That’s all Marvin wants, he said so. You’ll still be mediocre but the best mediocre in your department. No need to work hard while others hardly work.

Yes! The reasons to work hard are gone. The era of hard work being rewarded are over at Lowes.

The standard of excellence is so low that ants bump their heads on that bar.

Like I said more than a month ago, “Go do less”

It’s the new employee motto.

Very true, if one supervisor or manager tells another one you are working hard and dependable, you will start getting tasks from both of them. Once it spreads to store management they make you their go to person. That means they will dump lots of tasks on you and won’t want to promote you because that would make their own job more difficult. The only way working harder gets you promoted is if there are many hard working people in your store and they can replace a hard worker with another hard worker. The way they are cutting hours in many stores and with lots of freight. You shoot yourself in the foot by pushing yourself to the limits. They won’t give you a raise, because they are cutting payroll, they won’t promote you, because there is not replacement.
