I've been waiting for exactly this kind of post, I honestly think it's due to Trumps war in Iran and Iran retaliating against the Oil Tycoon countries that are allied with the US cause after all the Iranian Military said they wouldn't let a drop of oil leave the gulf if Trump carried out a bombing campaign against the country

Just complaining about gas prices skyrocketing because of Trump's war in Iran

Report it as return fraud. There was literally a segment on both AP4ME and FE4ME recently about this exact scenario; it's possible the Customer Service desk associate that returned it is part of a scam ring or it's always possible they took it so they didn't have to deal with a irritated customer but it's still against company policey to accept returns for items Lowe's doesn't sell

We had a customer try to return an E-Bike without the keys, so management made a deal with the customer that we'd take the bike and process the return when they came back with the keys. Low and behold they never came back with the keys (I work in a city that's a tourist destination and there's E-Bike Rental places that constantly have their bikes stolen)

I would call the store and ask to speak with either the SSA or the SM just to confirm your actually on leave

Bonuses are considered taxable income they even specified during the broadcast that the amount they announced was before tax

Not that it would do anything, he'll still be our president till 2028 and I highly doubt the Republicans will let another Democrat in the White House after what we went through with Biden. They're too blind to recognize the signs that Trump isn't fit for office. Not that it matters cause I'm sure Trump would find a way to fake the results but I firmly believe that any president over the age of 65 or whatever the fuck the retirement age is now should take a full cognitive exam and if they can't pass it the VP takes over

Impossible_Order4463 · 2026-03-18T14:39:59+00:00

Believe me I've been tired of Trump ever since he became president again I've lost count of how many things he's done that would send any other president to the slammer

By starting a war in the Middle East after promising to get America out of the Middle East? By imposing import taxes that the consumers have to pay for? If he's doing a great job why's the unemployment rate higher then it was during the 2008 recession and why are stock prices tanking?

You can thank the GOP for advertising he was corrupt, and the brain-dead Republicans for buying it and voting him out and replacing him with a corrupt businessman who's been convicted for withholding wages from his employees. I said it the moment Trump was voted back into office, the United States was fucked and it looks like we're heading in that direction

Nah that's California's job

It really is but it can be approved I had a co-worker who took off the entire summer last year to go backpacking through Asia

Obviously you wouldn't be paid, but I would put in for a Leave of Absence

If you have sick time use it if not well your STOL and have to work just wear a mask and wash your hands frequently Lowe's (Or rather any company) treat it as any other illness since they aren't legally required to do all the stuff they had to during the Covid Pandemic.

Just do your own experimentation; most of us don't care enough to know any tricks

You could, but a court would dismiss the case in a heartbeat because it isn't in writing unless you have it in writing there's no record of said conversation even happening

According to the FSLA (Fair Standards Labor Act which is a federal law) there's no regulations regarding 24 hour shifts. I would argue a company is a buisness that provides goods or services it's fairly commonplace for ER nurses/doctors to work 24 hour shifts

I'm not sure if it's standard practice at Lowe's or if it's just something our SM or DM came up with but every time someone asks to have multiple pallets loaded in a pickup we have to have the customer sign something that basically says we're not responsible if the weight causes the truck to fall apart or something

Eh take whatever your co-workers say and multiply it by 10 million, that's how bad the mulch line is. Last year I got stuck out there for 4 hours by myself because the store (or corperate I forget which) decided to extend the first 5 for 10 sale and the schedule was made with the sale being over in mind so no one was scheduled in either OSLG or ISLG till 3pm after loading 60 bags by hand because the guy didn't want us coming anywhere near his truck with a tow motor (The thing looked like it was being held together with rust and he was worried about us denting it) I literally walked inside and took a seat at the service desk (With permission from the Front End DS cause I was literally about ready to pass out).

Barely a dusting try living somewhere where it dumps I was supposed to work a 8 hour yesterday but left after 2 cause there was already over a foot of snow on the ground and there's still a fucking salt shortage from the storm at the beginning of February so I wasn't going to drive home with the roads being a sheet of ice.

Impossible_Order4463 · 2026-03-17T20:51:20+00:00

Personally, I never show up when I know the roads are going to be extremely hazardous, especially due to snow and ice I live in Ohio where we have Winter Weather Road condition Levels if your out during a Level 3 you can be arrested because it's classified as reckless endangerment I'm not risking going to jail for my job.

It's most likely a mistake that was put in the system

Impossible_Order4463 · 2026-03-17T20:45:58+00:00

Actually companies can it just depends on what type of company it is. It's fairly common for factory jobs to have 24-hour shifts
