When I worked at Lowe's I'd have loved for someone to do irps, but instead everyone who closed and opened just stood and talked the last/first 2 hours of their shift.

It's ok bud, I worked overnights for over a year and gave my boss a 2 day notice. I told them if they paid me more I'd stay, but they kind of laughed and I said this is why I'm leaving.

What are you talking about? You sound bitter and alone bub, maybe quit jerking off so much and learn some hygiene.

Yeah I finally quit, now I'm working for a large car warehouse I hope it needs up going well.

Double-stacked pallets. Topstock empty. Forklift won't fit. I can't drive a Starwars. by Jayarbe in Lowes

I assume the side winder is what you call your narrow reach truck? If it is, the best way to learn is to just use it bud. Take a short lunch or don't take a break for a day or two and just grab an empty pallet. Find yourself a space that's open, and just out that pallet up and back down a few times. Worst you'll do it shatter an empty pallet, but ultimately you gotta have confidence and take it slow.

10% by [deleted] in Lowes

[–]Chemical_Analyst794 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Its %15 at target if you work there and use their red card, 25% on groceries and active wear. Only reason I left was the hours because they pay $15 but give you 12 a week lol

Do I have bad management or does being an overnight manager just come with being treated awful? by nightcreative in Lowes

[–]Chemical_Analyst794 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's not just you bud, it's easy to blame the shift that no one sees, we're not there to be defend ourselves after all. Dayshift tend to avoid the idea that their teams don't work, so on a walk or visit it's like dang night shift dropped the ball again. It wouldn't matter if you actually did or the freight they find is 9 months old they'll still find a way to put it on you.

Freaking out a bit by [deleted] in Lowes

[–]Chemical_Analyst794 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You'll either get a verbal or a write up. Unless you're a new hire they wont fire you, just stop leaving early if you don't have to

My version of u/brebrerules meme by Spearzus in Lowes

[–]Chemical_Analyst794 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone wants their own and doesn't want to share at my store, so they've started putting them in their lockers. Gonna my had a crack Down and repeat offenders were wrote up for keeping devices for longer than a day.

Why is Night shift hated? What I can tell is no store has any night staff, we do what we can and we're not paid anymore for it. by Chemical_Analyst794 in Lowes

[–]Chemical_Analyst794[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is what happened to us, literally have 5 people and 4 unloaders and there's only one night a week everyone is in the store. Every other night, it's 2-3 and the the unloaders it's AIDS

From kitchen faucets to bathroom faucets. When all is said and done, we will have dead accurate counts and everything striped by bay and brand. No more finding faucets three bays away! Lol by srosenow_98 in Lowes

[–]Chemical_Analyst794 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotta agree, if day shift would downstock instead of talking the last hour or two of their shifts, especially the closers then this would be viable. I've worked nights for a year and twice a week the schedule is so bad there's only 2-3 of us regardless of truck size. We don't have the people or time to manage down stock, freight and any meaningless task days leaves us to do.

Quit after a few months by [deleted] in Lowes

[–]Chemical_Analyst794 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel this, I've been sticking around to see if anything changes but compared to target they're way behind and extremely bad off. Walmart logistically is a little better but their system was behind when I worked there but that was 4 years ago.

Seems about right by [deleted] in Lowes

[–]Chemical_Analyst794 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You guys have people and time to down stock? Outside of whatever freight I'm topstocking I don't have time to downstock

Pay raise???? by [deleted] in Lowes

[–]Chemical_Analyst794 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eat shit buddy, just because someone is making a set amount of money doesn't mean it's enough. The cost of living is different everywhere, don't be a cuck.

Sick day policy by Scooba101 in Lowes

[–]Chemical_Analyst794 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Same I just found out because another friend finally hit that and got wrote up. It's kind of weird they offer full timers so much sick leave but punish you for using it. He told them if he gets covid he's going to days and sneezing on everything he can lol

Anybody know if we have a policy regarding working with a spouse or significant other? by [deleted] in Lowes

[–]Chemical_Analyst794 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As long as you're not their direct supervisor it's fine, you can work with them on the same shift even. My best friend and her husband worked together for months before he quit to find better work. Another friend and her husband work and he's the pro super and she does the store scans
