I had a interview for green team and got the position. Are we supposed take over for red vests?
The new flooring install program sucks
Red vest can't take certain item numbers. Hard to access the installs that CQ puts in. Total lack of training on the IMS/Red Vest install system. Nobody in District 833 knows the system very well at all. Store has to eat the labor/product... — read more
Hours cuts
Well Lowe’s, after twenty years, 15 as a full timer and 5 as a part timer, I’m moving on. The company, or maybe just my store has cut hours to maybe 4 a week. Some weeks zero. I’ve worked in every department, I get leads and credit cards. I... — read more
How’s the tech space?
Stable? Pay well? Any upcoming layoffs?
See...Posts keep getting taken down
Posted 4 times already. I will not say what about this time to see if this one gets taken down like the others. Let's just say it is painful working here in the atmosphere created.
Call it the perfect scam/scheme
Find a Hedgefund (DES) to buy a $1billion chunk of stock of a big box retailer. Use the power from that stock ownership to place activists on Board of Directors. Activist Directors fire the flailing CEO and purge the hangers on. Activist... — read more
Good old times
Years ago we had realistic schedules that allowed us to take time off when we needed it. None of us were overworked because we were never expected to cover three or four positions at once due to a shortage of staffing. Most of us knew what we were... — read more
Here c-m layoffs
Here c-m layoffs, Here c-m layoffs Right down layoff lane. Melvin got pink slips for all us little Lowes pips And he hates us all the same. Melvin KNOWs we all cost him money and that makes his layoffs right. So stop yer work, for this heartless... — read more
Nothing to fall back on
For those of you who have an alternative or can quickly find a new offer, it is easy to make constant complaints. However, I don't have the luxury of simply getting a better offer, and I have nothing to fall back on if I lose this job. I know, I'm... — read more
Hard to figure what's on mgr's mind
As strange as it sounds, I love retail, but working here has become real torture. Literally, the manager wants me to be able to guess what's on his mind, because how else to interpret his vague directions? It causes me a lot of stress, but of... — read more
There is no raise that would keep me here
I don't believe that I will get a raise, but even if I got a significant raise, I wouldn't stay here. How much of a raise would keep you here, in this unhealthy and miserable workplace?
Raises
Do anyone know when the new raise will come into effect
They only care about stockholders
It is already clear to everyone that the leadership only cares that the biggest stockholders are happy. What I am interested in is whether it is possible for this company to be managed in such a way that both the stockholders and employees are... — read more
Do they even know
They must know how we feel, right? You wouldn't even need to read this forum to sense the general atmosphere at Lowe's. Are Marvin and the rest really that blind to this situation or do they simply not care?
My Lowlifes numbers
I thought the raise was supposed to be much higher? 3%?
No Bonus Dec 2 From Liar Melvin
No Good Dirty Rotten Lying Basturd!!!
Sales specialist, no bonus Dec 2?
I thought all hourly associates got a bonus on a separate check? myloweslife just shows regular paycheck…
Christmas Card from Marvin
He can take his card and shove it. At least send us a 1 year membership for Jelly of the Month Club. As a corporate employee, i get those dang emails from Marvin about hourly associates getting additional bonuses and what do we get…. Nothing! Since... — read more
Everyone should call in on Fridays for the rest of 2022
Let’s see how the managers would handle that?
Pay
The Chipotle down the street from Lowe’s starting pay is $16.26 in California. That’s for cashier. I can’t imagine Lowe’s paying that for an entry position. I saw 5 people working in Chipotle. 2 cooks, 2 cashiers and I think a manager. In lowes... — read more
Lowes Layoffs 2023
This is a master thread about Lowes layoffs? Any chatter, news or rumors?
Completely unreasonable management
My store is in a chaotic state. Management, instead of identifying real issues that have a negative impact on employees, on morale in general and on the business itself, they are more preoccupied with proving that they are infallible. Too bad... — read more
3am prep for black friday?
Who else got told to show up that early? Nope. Last year same thing and I was the only one in my dept till 6a.
Lowe's will start Layoff by January 2023
Lowe's is planning to layoff some of the teams starting from January 2023. Mostly Contractors but not sure. Number of Layoff is higher then previously happens in 4-5 Years ago. Some of the Lowe's Employee already know about this plan.
Hope Q4 is better then Q3 or re-org here we go.
Lowes has spent way too much on adding back ASMs and DS. #1 controllable is payroll. Re-org is coming!
You are a number and they dont care
My store had 3 deaths when I worked there and we did absolutely nothing to honor them. As the title says, we had 3 deaths that occurred within the 3 years I worked there. I've seen other people who have posted pictures of how their store had a... — read more
Friday call outs
Boy oh boy! the stores are in for a big surprise. I know the mgrs dont answer the phones but they'll get the texts.
Where are you going for Black Friday?
Going out of town. Anybody have any cool trips planned?
MST
What is the point of the bay maintainance team? All they do is stand in the aisles playing on their cell phones.
Melvin's mind games
Over taxed bonus instead of raises in line with inflation. Don’t be fooled! More of the "please dont go union! Here's some extra crumbs!" We see thru all your games Melvin
Comp $ sales vs. unit sales
Wish Lowes Corp and HD would report unit sales along with dollar comps. It’s easy to comp $$ when you keep raising retails. Unit sales are the real barometer of a healthy retailer.
What a company!!!!!!!
8 weeks and counting. No unemployment and no disability. Not a penny!!! Everything is pending. They are quite adept at playing the game and that comes as no surprise. Big pay cut in February 2012 followed by a broken agreement in February of 2020... — read more
New bonuses
So let me quess , specialist will not be getting this one either?? Keep winning by yourself ladies and gentlemen...
Marvin wants you all gone
The job is garbage.
Let's get true numbers since it's a hit/miss for raises.
List your pay grade/csa, specialist, etc. How many years with the company. How much you make. And amount of raise or no raise. True numbers so everyone can compare.
Pay Raise Smoke and Mirrors
Another false show for the news media to portray Marv as a great benevolent corporate leader. I got called into the office to tell me I wasn’t getting a raise because I was being paid more than the market average for my position. I am not kidding... — read more
POWERBALL
Maybe Melvin will hit the 1.9 billion lottery tonight. If so, he will almost win as much as he lost in Canada. Sad.
