Hours for part timers have been cut to next to nothing so some departments have no one working there a lot of the day. Customers are complaining they can't find any help and are leaving in droves. And employees can't get anything done either... — read more
Topics regarding layoffs at Lowe's Cos.
Will we successfully pass the test?
Once the pandemic passes, and it eventually will, does anyone really think we will be achieving anything close to the comps of 2020? Wouldn’t surprise me if we hit some quarters with negative comps by end of 2021 and into 2022. Enjoy the sugar rush... — read more
Two people test positive for covid-19
We have someone on the front end who tested positive for covid. A person she lives with in our department was told to quarantine. The front end person sent a text to me saying get tested because that person I live with is in your department tested... — read more
Oh well, what are you supposed to do
Just read all the comments and reviews at your own store. Its disgusting. Customers even call out some employees by names. But what they don't know or realize ( or they do in some manner) is that they hire people, and work them maybe 8 hours a... — read more
Walmart raising their pay structure across the company
From associates to mid level managers. Will Lowe’s? Not!
Stronger than expected Q4
What does it mean for us ordinary workers that Lowe’s had stronger than expected fourth quarter earnings? I would say that it means very little if anything - we are left with the same old problems no matter how much profit the company makes. I... — read more
What would mental health professionals say about the situation at Lowes?
Can’t tell you how much more I feel rejuvenated after having consecutive days off as it gives me time to mentally disengage from work and re-engage with my personal life. I think if Lowe’s had consulted with mental health professionals before going... — read more
How well do they know us?
I came to the conclusion that Lowe’s doesn’t know their workforce at all. If it wasn't so, they would appreciate their good workers more, but no, it happens that the worse ones do better here than good ones. What has become the most important here... — read more
Motivation - zero
Is there anyone else who has struggled lately to find motivation for work? The atmosphere in the company affects me so it has become very difficult for me to do my daily duties. I try to find anything that would motivate me to get through the work... — read more
Is the pay worth it?
How many wish they could find something better but have chosen to stay because they can’t find anything that pays comparable to what you are currently receiving? I’ve been looking for a while and have received numerous offers from other companies... — read more
Mostly limited to retail?
I was a cashier here and after I was laid off I am getting desperate because I can’t find another job in this industry. I’m already getting desperate because I can’t find another job. I tried to get out of retail, but I don’t have much choice because... — read more
Lowe’s is Un American!

Target on my back...
I haven’t been working at Lowes for a long time so I don't know how things function here normally. It so happened that a few months ago I made a small mistake which my manager remembered well and I haven't been at peace since. For the... — read more
Unbearable colleagues taking on the role of manager?
I understand that everyone cares about keeping a job until they find a better option, but there are people who use it in the worst possible ways. Lately, it has become unbearable for me to put up with a colleague in a store who behaves almost... — read more
Lack of training issue. How did you overcome it?
Kudos to the people who stayed here longer than I have, primarily for their patience. I desperately needed a job and I thought it would be ok here, however, there was noone to help me get up to speed and I did not get any training. Despite all that I... — read more
Cutomers wearing masks
Any other stores remove the signs from the front door asking customers to wear masks?
Full time job
I’m trying to find another job, but all I can find are part-time jobs. There are certainly fewer jobs in retail than ever, but is it possible that there are so few full-time jobs among the options on offer? Has anyone managed to get a full time... — read more

Lowe’s Gave turkey to all employees for thanksgiving Overtime was a thing Retire Rich was a motto Commissions for specialists was a thing Department manager was a stepping stone Full time was the normal situation Prizes for health tracker... — read more
Marvin Ellison among group of CEOs that met with Mr Biden
Does anyone have thoughts about what to expect or what may have been discussed?
All I wanted was a little respect
I have accepted that I am underpaid, but I cannot accept absolute disrespect for workers. Since the beginning of the pandemic, I have been working more than my capacity, I come home so tired that I don’t even have time to dedicate to the children... — read more

Super Bowl Sunday
It's not dead in the stores pretty packed. I figured everyone would be home watching the commercials ect. Usually on a holiday or big game day stores are empty.
Everyone that closes stores stays 2 hrs past closing!
Does anyone else stores like this? Is it company wide and why are we staying 2 hrs past closing the stores for the last 8 months or more?
Outdated skills and resistance to training?
Retail boys and girls, Lowe’s is a different animal then your granddaddy’s Lowe’s. Technology, e commerce, don’t need much of the on floor people with not enough knowledge .., can Google them selfes. Many complain instead of upgrading their... — read more
Micromanaged to the max?

Covid Bonus Is A Joke
Why bother!!! After taxes the $300 is $190. The Pandemic is worse now than last year and Marvin does less and less for us. There is also less cleaning/sanitizing, carts aren’t cleaned at all!!! It’s all just a show for the public, media, and Wall... — read more

Because of anxiety, I crave unemployment
Some customers are becoming more and more nonsensical when it comes to using masks and disinfectants and because of them I am becoming more and more anxious. Every day I watch them touch the shelves and then they touch the masks with their dirty... — read more

How do you feel about going to work every day at Lowe's?
I feel really sick. I have stomach cramps. I am constantly tense and anxiously await what might be bothering me the next day. The only thing that comforts me is a good relationship with one of my coworkers who is really a great friend. I’ve been... — read more
Family member with COVID
So, one of my kids has a confirmed case of COVID and is in my house, according to the doctors I need to quarantine but Lowe’s only pays if I have a confirmed case? So I still need to go to work and potentially affect my co-workers? Confused
They hire, and then complain
I admit that I may not be the best worker, but the company had a lot of data on my previous experience when it hired me. They knew what my previous work experience was and my resume was very objective. Now it turns out that for the position I’m in... — read more

Cape girardeau Missouri. 10 delivery positions being dissolved and replaced by a cheaper 3rd party. Corporate greed!!!
Target Bonus
Target is giving their front line employees a 500$ bonus. Who thinks Lowe's will do the same.
Any chance Lowe's will do something like this?
Don't get me wrong, I'll get the vaccine in any case, but this would be a good way to insure those who are on the fence have an extra incentive to go through with... — read more
