Thread regarding Lowe's Cos. layoffs

How to get your money!

Sorry to hear about Lowe's latest stab in the back. Well here's what you do! Under agreement of seperation calculate the amount owed less their payment. Find out the amount you should get and file a summons and complaint at your county's superior court. Use the original paperwork as evidence First submit claim and mail two copies one to your store and one to Lowes Corporate HR in Mooresville. Send registered return receipt. Once demand is made and give them 20 days then file and serve the summons and complaint on your store, market director, regional director. Once in court let Lowes tell a judge their problems. The trick

is Lowes is betting you'll take the lower amount, rather than fight, Hundreds of small level lawsuits will literally exhaust them. Works every time ie Comcast that's why they want arbitration on new hires and role changes. Most courts will help with pro se money claims and judges get angry big companies don't take detailed care in putting together settlement deals. Cost: less than a day's pay.

Fighting back PRICELESS

An earnest clerical error has not been evidenced by Lowes. There is a difference between contract (employment separation agreement and material consideration) and a mistaken utterance of such consideration. If we agree to buy a car for 1,000.00 and you type 10.00 that's an error we can both realize is a misrepresentation. To try and honor the contract under a higher price is fraudulent because one party's consideration has materially changed while damaging the other. This is the inherent mechanism known as bait and switch. The troll above would hopefully face you in court pro se and be facing summary judgement with no defense. The reason Lowes is afraid of litigation is it has a history of bad relations with its marginalized workforce. Be it disability, FMLA,Benefits(ERISA),overtime, severance, health and safety. I remember Lowes was sued for "Chinese Overtime at class level. They had employees who worked 20 to 30 hrs in overtime a month and diminished their hourly rate over full time to pennies. That action brought lawyers millions and the average worker $125.00 on settlement. If court is not wise then file a complaint with the Department of Labor: https://www.dol.gov/agencies/ebsa EBSA handles regulation.

The path is wide, but you have to fight for what's right. I guess that makes Lowes a poor choice for a place to work. What a hassle! Good Luck!

I say class action lawsuit. Did you know that prior to the call on January 4 in policy we were to get 2 weeks per year... I have a printed copy. Then on the call they stated 1 week per year. During that call the policy was removed. The first severance package was for 2 weeks per year. That is because someone at corporate probably looked at the old policy. Now they realize that and want to send out a new severance package with the 1 week per year. I have already signed and sent in my first package and do not intend to send in the second one. If need be I will go to all the local news channels and talk to a lawyer.

Suing seems like a great way to disqualify yourself from any severance payment at all.

Your case will just be dismissed a few days after it's served. Lowe's will file a motion for dismissal based on an earnest clerical error on the first paperwork sent out, you having no legitimate claim to the funds requested, because severance pay is not legally required at all, and the fact that no signed contract exists.

All you're doing is setting people up with false hope. They'll be out the filing fees, service fees, and Lowe's could countersue for any defense costs they incur. I highly suggest you don't try to do this on your own.
