Thread regarding Lowe's Cos. layoffs

the new replacement Manager at 2448, is a real Ahole!! He DOES NOT care about employees!! He wants to know how they feel and then your a marked disgruntled employee!! Hurry HOME DEPOT and build here!! You will have a whole crew ready to move in!!!!!!

You posters are all being WAY too nice!
Lowes is terrible in every regard. Period! Absolute bottom of the barrel, nonsensical, foolishness, and busch league!

We have no staff. None. We do not have anyone in our lumber dept. NO ONE! Literally. Everyone has quit, and I too am looking. Store managers lie, and all of management is incompetent, and unable to operate due to lack of corporate support.

We are walked at least 1x weekly by corporate empty suits who see customers needing mad help, and see there are no associates and DO NOTHING!

If they do nothing, why should we employees do anything? I dont any longer. I refuse. I get no support at all, left alone to cover 5 depts, register, etc and never a manager in sight ever.

Corporate makes policy, then leaves it up to store managers discretion. So why even have any policyt or procedures? No one is following them! We had a pick up truck back into the store , past registers yesterday and no one even said anything! They pulled into the store and loaded the entire bed and no one ever came or said a word. I took a picture!

There are no policies or procedures any longer, and NO ONE is in charge. No one gets fired for what used to be CLASS A violations. Daily, employees operate power equip with no spotter during open hours and no aisle blockers. Its a matter fo time before someone is k–led. Everyone is getting hurt, and out on claims.

Cashiers are all quitting due to ridiculous schedules, and chit pay.

Why ANYONE would stay with Lowe's in this environment, and only worsening with no hope in sight is beyond me, Its abysmally horrid. In every regard.

Marvin should be ashamed of his monkey arse.

Replacing dead weight with floating t–ds from Sears is not exactly, helping in righting the ship. Check out the new Regional VP in the Indy area. Stellar performance at Sears . NOT
Buybacks are the only thing keeping the stock going up.

As a stock Lowes is great. They rebounded from the dip. Truth is I wish I had invested back in November. As a company to work for, Lowe's is awful if the volume of the store is anywhere decent. Small low volume stores that are off the radar are probably ok to work in still, but stores in busy areas are terrible.

Lowes is a company that does not know how to scale its business to meet higher demands.

Marvin is trying to right the ship and he’s getting rid of a lot of the dead weight at or near the top of our company and bringing in people with successful backgrounds in our industry to work in executive positions. I say this as someone that left the company two years ago but is still a stockholder.

It is amazing how fast Marvin and the Marvettes attained a Niblock-Damron level of respect.

2448 in Pittsboro NC. I don't care anymore I use to love my job. Now I do just enough to get by and that's it

I too was looking forward to a new Lowes when Marvin arrived. He seemed to be associate friendly with his “I started at target and worked my way up, my daddy was a sharecropper and let his family eat first” talk. Then things changed, cuts, and then more cuts, and even more cuts occurred (see the Marvin’s big list of accomplishments post on here). Now corporate seems more out of touch with the reality of the stores than ever before. They can’t fix our out of date technology until they get a fancy new technology center. From the sounds of things it will be at least 5 years before we see anything new tech wise. Marvin is trying to raise dividends for the share holders while at the same time trying to update the technology in the stores. All the while the customers, stores, and employees are suffering because of it.

On hand integrity is off due to LP being out of most stores and the end if the DM position. DMs use to work weekly reports to help fix stuff as did LP. Now, who really does cycle counts or works negative on hands or does does price audits? These were all things DMs handled in the departments. Technically the service managers are suppose to get it done, but how many of then have the time when they have multiple departments and no staff?
