Yes- I too believed in Lowes and their "core values". It seems as though the joke has been on it's employees. Shame on them.
I do not know yet if I still have a job. If I do- I will find another one soon because I do not wish to continue to work for a company that has so little regard for its people. It's truly upsetting.
If I no longer have a job I will still find another one. I will never shop at Lowes again- and I will make sure my extensive Family does not either.
