Someone needs to step up against Marvin's cronies and all his friends in the company. I have watched good employees be bullied to quit and forced to move all because a douch is in power that is Marvin's best friend. This sh-t has got to stop... — read more
And that is possible too
I do my job the best I can and I do a lot more than one person should be doing here. I’ve never complained before although I’m very often exhausted from work to the point of burnout. And then one day, the manager comes in and says that I am wasting... — read more
Lowes Stockholm Syndrome
Going back to your place of work constantly when you're not working. Does anyone have those coworkers who always "shop" on their day off? We have an ASM who comes every day off to schmooze, brag about his pay and his accomplishments, flirt with the... — read more
Long term Employees Suddenly Bailing Out
Had a long tern head cashier today who went to lunch and did not come back. They sent the SM an email that they would not be back.
And they wonder why nothing ever gets done.
Arrive at store and wait 15-20 minutes until someone opens the door. Walk in and get yelled at, asking you numerous times "where were you?" Get your stuff from your locker Wait another 20 minutes for someone to open the cage for a... — read more
Customers understand the situation better than our managers
I feel sorry for the customers but even more so when I see colleagues who are trying unsuccessfully to satisfy all of them - which is literally impossible to achieve since we are shortstaffed. Unfortunately, customers seem to have more empathy and... — read more
SURVIVAL MODE NOW
Bank runs coming folks And yes, corporate doesn't give 2-s-h-i-t-s about you being understaffed..just keep humping it. Oh and Marv is on his yacht laughing like the Joker.
No cleaning supplies for store use.
Has anyone else's store had a problem getting store cleaning supplies? We've been waiting for weeks, I cannot clean the bathrooms because there are no paper towels.
What if there are more cuts?
Our store is barely functioning as is because there is not enough staff (who actually do all the work). I don't understand how things will continue to function if there are even more cuts?

Customer Traffic Is Way Down
Here in the Midwest, in-store customer flow has decreased dramatically. Even compared to pre-pandemic levels. Cutting F/T hours has already started to circulate. What is it like at your store?
It’s the Economy time for cut hours they say!
Just heard ! Lowes cutting hours to 35 or less for full time associates even though the policy says otherwise ! Marv is such a “GREAT LEADER” woke times in effect !
Union literature left on desks
Left everywhere in Connecticut stores. I guess the movement is starting to gain steam!!!
I'm hearing rumors of potential cuts
I don't see how it can be true since we barely have enough people to get anything done. Can anybody share more info or let me know if this is true or not?
Marvin Ellison one of the top three inspirational CEOs
What a crock of s*** how could this be true people avoid his podcast like the plague
Delivery Damages
Hi. I’m a delivery dude. I just dropped a three thousand dollar refrigerator down the steps of a two story deck. Oh well. Go to the store and get another one! You out of it? So, I’m just a delivery dude! Now break down those boxes I left in... — read more
SIMS is an absolute failure. Lol.
Literally no one follows the system. I see this only being harped on right before inventories. That's it. Other than that, it's business as usual.
If the pandemic hadn't happened. .
We all know how the pandemic has affected companies and businesses. I'm thinking about whether the situation at Lowes would be better today if the pandemic hadn't happened? What do you think? My store is terrible, our superiors are treating us... — read more
Boss giving conflicting messages
My boss here is constantly giving me contradictory instructions. Perhaps because of some personal animosity but I really don't know what to do about it anymore, how to deal with it. Has anything similar happened to anyone else here? I'm starting to... — read more

There Better Be A Good Raise For Us Next Year
I’m posting this early in the hope that a lot of Lowe’s associates will band together and get the word out to the company that we will NOT accept some pathetic 2% or 3% raise next year. They’ve been lowballing us year after year and I’m sick and... — read more
Lowes miscalculates again.
Pitiful Memorial Day results. Barely any foot or internet traffic. I guess Marvin will blame the weather.
Who stayed here longer than planned?
It seems to me that there are more and more of those who stay shorter than planned. I feel miserable because I am one of those who stayed longer than initially planned.
All rewards and no repercussions for some
Managers here no longer even try to hide that they treat some employees more favorably then others. This is an obvious signal that hard and honest work doesn't pay off here. I don't know what is the best way to fight it. Have you ever reported it?... — read more
The work just keeps piling up.
I’m not sure that I can take it anymore. Lately jut a couple of us in our team are doing practically all of the work while the ones that are in good relations with our manager get to do nothing. What’s even more sad is that the people that do the... — read more
3rd party flatbeds
June 17 is the last day for Lowes flatbed drivers in numerous markets in florida.2 weeks severance for affected drivers.Once again,thanks Marvin......hope you get 2 weeks severance aswell!
The understaffing is NOT accidental.
0 I really do believe that the clowns at the top of this company intend to compensate for the lower sales by deliberately understaffing the stores. They do stuff like this every now and again. They have these “pain points”, they look for. What... — read more
Stacked to the ceiling with hats?
I am expected to wear multiple hats and I’m sick of being pulled in one hundred directions while working in our store. I feel like when I first started working in a very small company where I also had to be involved in everything that was going on... — read more
Leadership should finally take responsibility
The fact that the leadership will not admit that the cutting of hours and understaffing has greatly contributed to drop in sales will only bring even bigger problems. People here no longer have any motivation. Are they even aware of it? How do... — read more

Layoffs
I heard a large number of Corporate HR employees were laid off today. Guess our sales disappointed more than Marv let on.
Pay for PE certification
Pay the people. If not, refuse to train or let your licenses expire. Let these pieces of s**t start using staffing companies to operate their PE.
SIMS
Just being honest. This is never going to work.
Just got off the phone with UFCW union
They can't wait to work with us. They are shocked most people got just a 2% raise an some of the other nonsense like cutting hours for part timers an hour before they come to work. Google UCFW and get involved. It's the only way to get what we... — read more
