Why exactly is Lowe's planning to hire 65k people when we are laying off people daily and cutting hours to bare bones. Wouldn't it be better to, I don't know, keep the people we have who already know their jobs and maybe even gasp up our hours to where we actually have time to do our jobs properly?
Where's the logic in this?
Lowe's is lying about the hirings. The press releases indicating the mass hirings are designed to control the news and cover up for the mass layoffs.
The vast bulk of their supposed "hiring" accounts for the usual seasonal temp help they hire, and layoff, every year.
Ellison and crew hope you won't read beyond the headlines.
Full Time Employees will now have one weekend off every two months and all various days off. NO SET SCHEDULED DAYS OFF ANYMORE. THIS IS HAPPENING NOW IN FLORIDA MARKET.
Holy sh--. Who the f--- would want that? Wow ...
Again, as has been said many times before, most retailers make you work every weekend unless you request it. That's when you have the most traffic, so that's when they need their workers. It's just the nature of retail. If that is where you choose to work, that is how it's going to be.
As for why they are hiring after layoffs, it's because they chopped higher paying jobs are will be replacing them with lower paying jobs. One PSI, with salary and commission, can be at least as much as 4 part timers, probably more. Then factor in the LPM which gets 8 hours of OT, that could be another 4. Also keep in mind that this is still fiscal year 2018 until Feb. The company is still dealing with the budgets the old guard put in place and stores are dealing with the over spending they did prior to Marvin. You ALWAYS see crazy cuts this time of year because stores ALWAYS over spend in the beginning of their year because the company ALWAYS waits until March or April to finally release the actual sales targets and budgets for the year, and by that time stores have already gone over for the first two to three months. Every....freaking....year....
So, maybe Marvin will bulk up the PT staff with the cuts made and maybe he will focus on just in store stock sales and pro.

Why? Because they are STUPID that’s why.
Why does Marvin make $4500 an hour (based on a 65 hour work week)?
Same reason.
