So, Im a 10 year + Lowes guy. In all those years. NEVER once, have I seen hours cut in the 100 days. Actually, this year I havent heard the term "100 days" ONCE! By anyone! Meanwhile, we have MAD foot traffic, we are short staffed to the bone, and customers are not being helped.
To make it even worse, Corporate mandate came down and all the brainless minion, empty-suit, dipchit managers started reiterating this dictate like the unconceptual parrots they are, stating "no overtime". Instead of helping customers, these dimwits are more focused on OT, than sales!
We have been told to literally, walk out! WHILE HELPING CUSTOMERS!!
So, if Im making $20 an hour, 1 hr of OT is $30. The last 3 days, Ive had to cut because I HAVE BEEN HELPING CUSTOMERS!!!! And every day, my manager had me leave and walk away from LARGE SALES. Sales that 5 days later now are not completed, and customers are fed up. 3.5k, 6k, and a 14k.
So I am to leave, to save Lowe's 30 bucks, instead of putting thousands into the register. This is insanity.
Now, they say if you have time to cut, you must come in late and be red boxed. They wont change your schedule, and just say its ok that you are red boxed. Why would any rational person ever stay at all in this environment?
Clearly, Lowes is broken at the corporate level. Ever since this dumb MF'er took over, the inefficiency has skyrocketed. He has everyone focused on the small chit, the minutia. Such as writing hand written signs, sweeping, and doing EVERYTHING except helping customers. Then a-hole man has the nervbe to send emails saying customer focus is #1 priority. How? We have no staff, and the staff thats experienced and cares is being sent home, or tasked culling furring strips during impact hours!
Impact hours? WTF are those? Instead of helping customers, every day during the busiest hours we have aisle blockers up, and contractors cant even get their sheetrock and supplies. Forklifts are flying around "striping" concrete for no fkkn rteason!
Seriously, Lowes is fkkn romper room, with mo--ns in charge. They take your money, then vanish like a fart in the wind. Nobody cares. About customers or employees. If you believe they do, you too are kool aide slurping, and a dipchit. They take your money KNOWING, they have no one to follow up or serve you in any way.
Just go look at this:

This woman is in my market. Or neighboring. Same DM, same corp guys. And my store is 100x worse.
Lowe's is a ship, lost at sea, in a storm, with no steering wheel and a crack head as the captain.
