All the time I see hard-working, responsible employees get their hours cut, laid off or thrown under the bus. At the same time, those who slack off, gossip, and treat customers poorly seem to somehow get a free pass. Why is it that the more you give... — read more
Meanwhile
Home Depot software developers will soon be required to spend one full day each quarter working in a retail Home Depot store. This involves wearing the apron, interacting with real customers, and experiencing the complete in-store environment. I’m... — read more
No inspirational email from Marvin?
He's quiet and Small Hands sells $1 million in stock. I see where their priorities are!
We need to unionize
East coast dockworkers went on strike, they will be getting at least a 50% pay increase since the company already agreed to that. UPS drivers got a big increase so did the one of the train unions. We get crumbs if anything. We get no cost of... — read more

I’m getting the sense come organizational changes are happening very soon at the store level. No proof, just an undeniable feeling. Anyone else feeling this?
Lowe’s End Is Here
Customer count has crashed. Specialty Sales have tanked. Lowe’s credit card 5% off is eliminated for many departments. Full time hiring has ceased. The company is rapidly contracting. Melvin’s run has reached its conclusion. Time to find different... — read more
We can't function like this
I can't cover for three people. I simply can't. Expecting me to do that every other day is not okay and it's not going to work. Hire more fu--ing people if the ones you have refuse to show up! Lowe's is so cheap it's going to work us to death rather... — read more

Any truth to rumor that ASMs are -going to through Christmas - ro be mandated av6-day work week?
Home improvement retailer Lowe's latest US firm to end some diversity policies — Yeah Right.
So, according to the news, Lowe’s is ending some DEI policies meant for LGBTQ inclusion. Does anyone actually believe that these policies were anything more than a pathetic attempt to curry public opinion by acting inclusive without actually giving a... — read more
Company Is Top Heavy
The cost cutting needs to start at the Top first! Corporate wastes millions on outrageous salaries and stock-options, the Vegas Party, incompetent IT management and systems that are broken daily!!! Customers care about having products and associates... — read more
Lol!
The need assistance buttons go off all day. They never seem to stop and there are literally no employees to assist customers. We can't get more employees hired because they tell us the sales are not high enough and customer traffic is way low... — read more
3rd Quarter Speculation
We’re close to entering the quarter 3 of 2024. 2 was a bit of a challenge. What can stores expect in the next quarter? More of the same or an increased focus on cost cutting? Specialists are supposed to go away. Doesn’t happen. Flatbeds to third... — read more
Scheduling
Our front end manager will not work with our cashiers so we lost all our head cashiers and two more cashiers. The front end manager will not work with our part timers they get scheduled when they're supposed to be in school. Our front end manager... — read more
No layoffs since January
Did I miss something or has it been calm on the layoff front for six months?
Get credit apps, or get written up
This is creating a hostile work environment. Is it legal can you really be fired for not getting credit apps?
Heater must he broken
How come Lowes doesn't like to use AC in their stores ? Is it that they don't care or is it a way to save a little bit of money.And another thing why cant every store control it's own AC/Heater depending on the weather in the area.IT IS SO FU--ING... — read more
Yeah, Your Store Is EXTREMELY Understaffed. No, It’s Not A Mistake…
I’m posting this because I’m getting tired of the a$$ clowns at the top of my store telling me that we don’t have less staff than last year or that they’re having more trouble finding people. No, they’re NOT. It’s a deliberate choice that’s being... — read more
Activity on here...
I took a look and saw that neither HD nor Menard's employees are very active on here.
Invested Points
Did anyone get invested points from last quarter?
Please FIRE half of the useless clowns at the Corporate Office
Who is in charge of the new My Lowe's Rewards program? EVERY SINGLE PERSON who is involved in this program should be fired immediately! Customer's get bonus points if Lionel Messi makes an assist in soccer???? What in the world does this have to do... — read more
6 quarters of declining revenue
Lowe’s and Home Depot. Both in the same position. Home projects and renovations are on the decline for sure. What is your opinion on what happens over the next year or 2 at Lowe’s as a result? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-43ewc6Gals — read more
You know Lowe's s is struggling...
When they randomly have a 20% off day for employees in an attempt to get last minute sales and when they start selling baseball cards.
Laundry Eye
Does anyone know what eye number they move laundry detergent to?
Lowe's dog trainer
Does this position exist? If not it should. It would help boost customer foot traffic and sales.
Bringing dogs to work
How? Anyone know the process for us to be allowed to bring our dogs to work with us? This would help work morale and help drive the business as people love dogs and would love seeing Lowe's dogs throughout the store.
Merchandising—Marketing/CSS Layoffs?
Trying to confirm rumors of another round of layoffs at corporate, supposedly in marketing and/or merchandising divisions….
Melvin needs to be careful on how he is structuring these discretionary bonuses
Way too big of a divide between what salaried and hourly received. Beyond ridiculous. Well at least we know who he values and who he doesn't.
Write-up quota
Is something going on, like a quota for write-ups? They are suddenly writing up a lot of people for minor infractions. Some straight to a final with no warning. Its not happening to problem employees, just seems to be random. They are doing it to DS... — read more
Speed Bump
Lowe’s recently hired me part time in the Outside Garden Center. I’m in traffic control in the mulch loading area. If the traffic gets too busy, I lay across the loading are a with my special yellow and black striped uniform to slow down impatient... — read more
Cards, cards, cards
Too he-l with the new reward card, the interest rate is predatory and the fact that you receive $5 Lowe's money for $100 spent is nothing short of worthless, including the fact that your "money" expires in 30 days. Lowe's, you're FIRED!! So, in my... — read more
Mulch everywhere
Pallets upon pallets of mulch. No exaggeration, more than half our parking lot is taken up by these pallets. Customers rightfully complaining, where do I park? How do I get through the maze of mulch. All this chaos for something we lose money on.
Another Easter, enjoy your day off with no pay
Here we go again with Easter closure. Can't wait to see how I make up for about 20% of my pay. As usual, they claim to find the hours so we can still be paid, we shall see.
Customers disgusted with new 32% interest rate
Just today, I was told by two couples that they will never use the Lowe's card again. Sure, they already had the card, but made it VERY clear that the card will never, ever be used again. Lowe's and Synchrony, a marriage made in he-l.
31.99%
Lowe's credit card 31.99% ,were told not to tell customers new rate .Written up ,if Manager hears .crazy
Dark side of new Lowe's Rewards Card
It would appear all parties involved -- Lowe's, Synchrony -- have covered their a$$es nicely. You need not look further than the all-new interest rate... essentially a 32% (31.99) interest rate. They padded the new card by 300 basis points.
Too clear everything up
The 20% has been updated to all the self checkout registers, the first use up to $100 off has indeed been extended to 1/31/2025.
MST ASM
What’s the deal? Are they going to finish rolling this out? They held off in Q4 for the remaining stores and haven’t said a peep since. Do we need them? Are they going away? Anyone hear words?
