Thread regarding Lowe's Cos. layoffs

Marvin’s Problem

Marvin has a credibility problem at my store; no one believes him anymore, not even the most pro-Marvin associate we have. Everyone is looking for jobs elsewhere before the cuts eliminate their jobs.

Just look at the past year to see what a liar he is; he claims to be Christian but he is not, he worships at the alter of money and greed. He said the days or hiring family and friends were over and that you had to earn your position. How does his staff his executive suite? With friends from his old jobs.

He cuts jobs at the store level claiming it will improve customer service; that’s his line all the time. Anytime their is a cut Marvin says it’s so associates can spend more time helping customers on the floor. Assemblers and FSA’s spent little time on the floor what they did now has to be done by others, actually reducing the time spent on the floor. For the record my store doesn’t have a cleaning service nor anyone to build grills; we are being told to sell what has been built.

Marvin lies to cover up what is really going on.

"What one preaches, is most likely what he himself is most guilty of,"

Marv is a lying hypocrite. Plain and simple. He sees employees asa hindrance, not as a value.
He does see the individual potential of a person, rather, he promotes mediocrity and a baseline of stagnation.

Causailty people. For every Marv-elous action, a reaction. He too doesnt understand causality or correlation.

I have a degree in business, and watching him and listening to him, its clear this man is an empty suit. Sure, hes trying, and the tech center he's building is a great idea to get Lowe;'s out of the Flinstones era of technology. But at what cost?
Theres a thing called The Law of Diminishing Returns.
Another called the 80/20 Law, aka The Pareto Principle.

Marv doesnt know any of the basics.

Tuna fish is "good" and healthy" for you if eaten once in a while. Eat it every day and now its become bad for you.

Lowe's is now bad for everyone. He's violated core tenets of good business and wil pay dearly for his mistakes. Its just a matter of time .Hes passed the point of correcting the ship so .....

Brace yourselves.

Lowe's is a ship, lost at sea, in a storm, with a captain on crack who will use any means to tell the crew everything is ok.

Bye Lowe's. You are not worth my time or energy any longer. Good luck with my 18 yr old replacement who cares more about shirking, than customers.

Im out.

Marvin is a clown and I fully agree, but the majority of “Christians” and those who follow organized religion in general are walking/talking hypocrites. They practice religion when it is convenient...

The second anyone brings their religious beliefs up in conversation, they immediately lose all credibility to me.

I have a feeling our cleaning "service" is using non-citizen day laborers.
The guy who was in our store Friday could not speak English.
One of our Spanish speaking CSAs had to translate for him.
