Thread regarding Lowe's Cos. layoffs

The truth is that the job market varies greatly based on where someone lives

Just because someone tells the truth about their personal Lowe's experiences does not mean that they are angry or disgruntled or hate Lowe's. Opinions are often made in hopes perhaps someone will listen and changes will take place as a result of it. People can't say that others are unable to get jobs outside of Lowe's elsewhere because they lack skills, etc., because job availability for different skill sets, The truth is that the job market varies greatly based on where someone lives. I know many who had great paying jobs in IT but could only find a retail job because there was nothing else available in the area. After being in retail for a while, you are unable to find outside jobs often because they no longer consider your skills viable after a few months outside of a certain field. People are rapid to judge but it varies based on an individual situation. There are a lot of people being very honest. Some may be written by family or friend to support their loved one who works at Lowe's so it may not even be the actual employee writing these comments but they are truthful.

A truthful and sincere post that I found worth reposting. OP is @X9dSOoW-2tfx .

There are people working at Lowe's who used to be in other industries but jobs got outsourced. There are people who once owned businesses and left them to retire or just because of the economic downturn. People at Lowe's aren't all id--ts like the customers treat us. Retail isn't a choice but it is a default when nothing else can be found and it is not an easy job standing on your feet all day and lifting heavy c-ap by yourself (there are never enough employees working to help). It is true that the job market differs vastly in different areas. We do not see any improvement in the economy where we live despite all the hype about how great the economy is now. Some of us are stuck at Lowe's and glad we at least have a job despite many people in management treating us like dogs because we are older, we have a college education, we have suggestions or ideas, we are different, etc.
