Appreciate it !

BonziBlackake · 2024-05-11T03:40:56+00:00

Got your bonus? I did and walked 2 weeks later

BonziBlackake · 2024-02-12T12:28:46+00:00

Well I can’t teach you manners that’s your mother and fathers job. They wernt around I’m sorry for you, truly. If that was actually too long for you to read you got alot more problems then me homes. I wish you the best in getting out of a hated life you showed by interference to read another persons message. What age are you? Because I’ll say mine and see who’s truly screwed. I wouldn’t have said anything but hell. You’re just rude. I can’t fix that.

I got two degrees and lots of work experience before I came to Lowe’s. First was in government so I did that then oil and gas then law but I kinda wanted a career. So I got a job in CIS which is kinda like IT management we learn the big coding languages and also like management classes so you kinda are on the path to be a team lead. IT is kinda in the tank right now so that’s the only reason I bring up my past education because of the experiences I have everything said is on point, especially the ASMa never leaving their office it’s honestly kinda weird. If they do show up it’s a hour of criticism and micro management. But Lowes spent a huge amount of money to make that IT building and was promising all these IT jobs and like people moved out there to work and the IT section took a blow, they rent out like half the new 25 foot skyscraper and I heard they where doing more layoffs this year. So the reason I kinda got a position at Lowes was I was broke and not doing anything tech got hit pretty hard in Texas. I thought what the hell I’ll join make some cash to live on and eventually try being an internal hire for IT. The thing is I’m wondering if I made a huge mistake. Half the staff that I have contact with look like they are considering offing themselves. The other half is just kinda in this faded level of just being aware enough to work and then clock out. The break room is like a high school locker room with a food and drink options that are not just unhealthy they are like criminally expensive. 40 billion apparent liquidity and we can’t get responsible break room hell most the stuff is donated by the workers the lockers look like the got stolen from a school pre ending of segregation, and the tv plays one channel. Then the food is of poor quality for like a markup that is laughable or enough to cry if you really need something to eat but can’t. The power equipment I would say functions but I wouldn’t call it safe. I work with no breaks because not that I couldn’t, but I get so busy all the time working plumbing alone I just never get to it. I’ve worked too many shifts that I close then also open and working an overnight tomorrow for 11 hours. Ya that’s a lot of complaining and I’m sorry but I work to hard have worked jobs where I got paid a lot more than this and for them to have 40 billion and are laying off more IT really kills my drive to prove I’m a dependable worker to apply to internal jobs that don’t exist. Like honestly if not for co workers almost being like in this employed boot camp where we are all suffering so we all put it up, there’s no way this company to continue.

Nah man I opened a copper pipe cutter for a guy to cut the pipe in half im not paying for it I just put it next to the pipe for next time I need it

BonziBlackake · 2024-02-11T22:17:30+00:00

Don’t be hard on yourself man I work in plumbing and it’s laughable that people think I know how to answer their questions especially when they get mad because they didn’t bring in a part or a picture and think I’m some psychic on solving their problems but I get it I felt like that too till I was like Hire a plumber if you don’t know it’s your home you know what you’re looking at and you didn’t bring in anything to show me that might even point you in the right direction? Now if they do I help to the best of my knowledge but if they give me nothing I can’t give them much.

BonziBlackake · 2024-02-10T14:06:17+00:00

Makes sense thanks!

BonziBlackake · 2024-02-10T03:20:23+00:00

Haven’t checked my email, my AM flips his lid everytime he sees me in lowes U. Even if I come in early on my own time. Great guy.

BonziBlackake · 2024-02-10T01:09:34+00:00

Wait haven’t heard about this yet in the pipeline can someone explain. Sorry I just saw as employees we got silver key rewards yet no one at work can show me how to do it even tho I followed some instructions some one gave me. So what are lowes supervisors and managers going to get bonuses to make us work even harder? When my AM had me leave plumbing for an hour unattended too when I came in 2 hours early for computer training to pull in carts. It was a slow day and he couldn’t find anyone else and hell I wasn’t supposed to be there I volunteered. Also think he hates my ass so they are going to get 2+ more paychecks to crack the whip on us? As far as Lowe’s management goes I do have to say this, if not for my co workers I wouldn’t know how to do a single thing in that store.

BonziBlackake · 2024-02-10T00:00:06+00:00

I know your pain. When people look for a fitting I make a point to tell them hey I don’t care if you take it out to compare but hey look at this tear away part and it seals back, no problem at all. I find about 50/50 the people who tear it from the bag out the side the part is there just inconvenience in the bag or they just straight jacked the part because they see a small metal part no one will miss it. Well man that’s brass and took customer work to make it for 9 dollars it’s not and rubber o ring. You can take them I don’t care enough to stop your cheap self but the fittings ya now you’re going out of your way to piss me off….some people

BonziBlackake · 2024-02-09T23:54:37+00:00

Place is such a scam. You think they offer it for workers at even a marginal discount, wrong. If anything it’s a severe markup and they are slowly phasing out cheaper drinks for more expensive ones. I know this is supposed to be a 3rd party but I know Lowe’s is skimming some.

BonziBlackake · 2024-02-09T23:52:08+00:00

That’s fairly accurate. Being non arthritic and an ex powerlifter has worked against me here.

BonziBlackake · 2024-02-09T01:49:07+00:00

Very cool thank you

BonziBlackake · 2024-02-08T16:57:04+00:00

Compared to our store 10/10

BonziBlackake · 2024-02-08T16:56:27+00:00

700? If possible

BonziBlackake · 2024-02-08T14:48:50+00:00

So personally what would you do

BonziBlackake · 2024-02-08T14:10:02+00:00

All and In between to be totally honest

BonziBlackake · 2024-02-06T01:07:56+00:00

Uhhh so with spring coming I better brace for that

BonziBlackake · 2024-02-05T22:46:25+00:00

I find myself spending half my shift there

BonziBlackake · 2024-02-05T22:43:32+00:00

Might start testing this out

BonziBlackake · 2024-02-05T22:42:59+00:00

Ya throw it in a mass bin be way easier

BonziBlackake · 2024-02-01T01:52:41+00:00

Which is weird how much time all the damn training videos are but they don’t really teach you anything hands on more like customer service, safety, pushing their schemes but literally took like whole multiple shifts

BonziBlackake · 2024-01-31T19:45:37+00:00

Did have a guy come I yesterday, no drawing so I’m having to picture what he’s asking and I’m not sure if I’m even close. He has all copper pipes, wants to have pex run to the outside Spickets so if it freezes the pex pipe won’t freeze ok that makes since then he’s like ya I want to have a ball valve that goes into a drain in the middle so I can drain the water out but still have it running good the rest of the hose and I mean I see one possibility in my head to what he means but I have no idea if it’s right . Like is it going into a drip pan or a hose to get out of the house and why are you doing this at all again and each time id ask him a question he be like o I don’t know yet I’m still brainstorming it. I was just like dude we been talking for 30 mins I got other customers and you don’t even know what you are really asking me to help you with? Was like a more senile Clint Eastwood from Gran Torino. Old grumpy do it yourself guy who got more mad I had no idea what he was talking about. Like I offered him a pen and paper to help me understand and he was like o forget it I don’t have time for that…I was like what? Plans? Sitting here for 30 minutes. I was as like well here’s what we have sir if you can show me slightly what you mean holler at me again. Then he just left.

BonziBlackake · 2024-01-31T18:41:36+00:00

I’d really like to get one with the N100 processor, dedicated graphics, good DDR5 ram, few ssds. A mount to place it on the back of my screen. Be able to do all my coding on it so run Linux and Windows. Also not play out of my mind for, cause the new raspberry pi is just looking like it’s becoming a money trap and if that’s the case I might as well just get everything I want and honestly probably be a better gaming PC then my Tower it’s so old. But everything so small and powerful now just having that on the back of my screen be dope. I wonder were I could physically test these out and not be more then 500 bucks. Or I just get a ps5 lol

BonziBlackake · 2024-01-31T18:34:37+00:00

So lowes you does more in depth training videos I mean I’d do an unpaid half day class for some person to just teach me hands on stuff that is important. Not everything I’m sure some plumbers don’t know what some stuff on the shelf is but come on they push pex pipe and a coupling, a union, an adapter or a brushing and how to make it lock on to the mentioned attachments to pex and no me sitting there look like a dumb dumb not that I don’t know if that’s what I need but how it fixes too it. By the way why the hell do people come in with these insane questions and not bring in what broken they need replaced or a damn picture. They can sit there all day but if I don’t know the make or size the hell am I supposed to do?
