Thread regarding Lowe's Cos. layoffs

Lowe’s used to be a great retailer, if not the best, to work for back in the 80s and even 90s. The decline began, in my opinion, when the company discontinued their employee stock ownership plan back in 2000. Ever since that time, benefits have continued to erode and be replaced with ‘discount’ programs that really don’t have a lot of value and cost the company nothing.

Retail was NEVER a good career choice.

Ummm 100 days has been over for almost a month. This clearly shows the how great of an asset you truly are lmao...

Since you obviously have intellectual insight into Lowe's financial reporting that the rest of us lack. How do you calculate that the 100 Days ended a month ago? A month ago was the end of May. Lowe's first quarter ended May 3, but Lowe's second quarter will end August 2nd. A "100 Days" is merely a round number used by corporate because it is an easy to remember slogan for store management and employees during the busiest time of the year for the home improvement industry. But Lowe's second quarter does not end until August 2 and the company will report the second quarter financials on Wednesday August 21. Lowe's sends the quarterly financials to the federal government (quarterly statements are considered both financial and legal documents) and the company's performance is judged by Wall Street investors based on those documents. Since you are "laughing your a-- off" at the ignorance of others, please enlighten us on your calculations. The second quarter is the most important quarter for home improvement companies. However, there are still almost 5 weeks remaining in Lowe's second quarter. Why do you believe the second quarter ended a month ago?

the poor scheduling model basically BEGS for people to call off. It is unreasonable insane to expect any real human being to have just one weekend off during the summer. So....more call offs are coming to a Lowe's near you.

Mystery shoppers are back genius. Do any of you actually pay attention???

store 2442 one weekend couple of years ago during the 4th of JULY weekend 18 people called out and they still have this mo--n in charge at this store in Fort Mill, SC. call your lawyers and file suit now.

So true. I haven't seen it this bad on the sales floor in the years I have been working at Lowe's. One person to cover or close three or four departments. Management wonders why the IRP's can't get done. When corporate stopped the mystery shopper I know then Lowe's was heading to the dumps
