Thread regarding Lowe's Cos. layoffs

Part-timers are walking out

At my store part-timers are walking out; they have had enough. Our store manager changes their schedules on a daily basis and no one tells them. One part-timer came to work only to find out her hours had been cut and she wasn't needed that day. She took off her vest, handed to the manager, and walked out. We haven't seen her since. I wonder what Marvin would say?

We can't get applicants for our open positions and we are pissing off the associates we have, great business model... for failure.

This was bumped from another thread ( @X06IEGv-1gig ). I’ve seen the same thing happening at my store

yup - but corp has always been clueless. I mean cmon peeps. They rolled in XPO and CPO.

Completely clueless clowns, but always have been.

Its the typical central planner model. Some wankstain who has no experience across the country implementing policy for a store hes never been to.

Great business model. Theyre all a--holes.

In this economy, it's not taking long for other companies to snatch up Lowe's LP. The family member of mine affected by the mass LP layoff already had/has interviews, and today had a Division Manager for a thriving major big box chain actually come into Lowe's to look my family member up and invite them to apply for a specific LP job, with a start salary equal to what my family member made at Lowe's last year WITH bonuses. And with the "new" job, bonuses will be on top of that. That made my family member feel very good after being crushed by Lowe's last Friday. My family member is very active in the local LP community and there is a tight network of LP here. The major players easily stand out among the rest. That's proving beneficial.

Though it certainly s---s to think you are part of something and instantly find out you are part of nothing, I suspect those good at their job will have no issue finding a new one.
