Thread regarding Lowe's Cos. layoffs

Seasonal Hiring, Part Time Cuts, and Bonuses

Seasonal Hiring came to a screeching halt at our store. Even though they are still saying they are hiring, they aren't. Big banner outside hanging on the building is just for show. Totally lying to the public to make things look better then they are.

Marching orders came down from Area Market to immediately cut all part times to minimum hours.

Bonuses are being paid for by the non-public hiring freeze and cutting all PT associates to the bare minimum.

It's all for public show and what's really going on at the store level is a completely different story.

Out Store Manager is lying to our face about what's going on. Flat out lied. Do they think that we can't see what's really happening inside the store?

When you guys going to learn. You do not matter.. They do not care and will use you. GET OUT. Find another job ASAP. I know I am. But, I will tell you when I am there I help my fellow associate and customers but don't do more then I have to for the store.

Same thing at my store as well. Sign is still outside the door and they had a class of 7 or 8 senior citizens in the training room watching videos the other day. My hours have been cut to 9; 10 to 2 today and 5 to 10 tomorrow. Managers were around today “reminding” us to get customers signed up for credit cards. My department is a mess, whoever worked yesterday never got the returns, there were three carts behind the desk loaded with returns.

Same thing happened at my store. The SM lied to us about hiring. Wish they would just be honest and up front.

They are building future employees with the banner. Getting a pool so they can call them in the future. They interview and nothing until something opens up and then they make offer. It could be a month or 2 months or 3 months. Lowe's wants to replace you with the next one. Use them. Don't give them anything back.
