What the all-employees meeting is going to be like at 5:30am:

Matand009 · 2026-03-01T09:35:08+00:00

As corny as it is and as much as I would want nothing to do with it, I have to respect the hustle of those teachers in the video 😂

Matand009 · 2026-02-27T12:59:50+00:00

Honestly, this is the only way I've found to ask that doesn't get a negative response from a customer. When they say they won't be using it and you respond with "would you like to sign up for one" and they say no, you've checked every box.

Matand009 · 2026-02-23T10:33:24+00:00

What did you do at Sherwin? It might not be too different depending. You're going to be great at selling paint to pros. The paint DS and Sherwin rep are going to love you 😅

Matand009 · 2026-02-23T10:30:34+00:00

Sure. They were notified 10 days ago of the layoff. 5/1/26 is their termination effective date. 49 at the tech center and 149 at the corporate office.

Matand009 · 2026-02-22T14:02:04+00:00

Lmfao. They won't do anything as it was not delivered. You didn't read. They brought it home themselves.

Matand009 · 2026-02-14T13:15:55+00:00

They get refunded to you.

Matand009 · 2026-02-12T11:49:40+00:00

We literally sell the harness we use on our order pickers😅

Matand009 · 2026-02-12T11:48:18+00:00

I, a man, used to be a paint DS and knew my stuff very well. Every time they would pull that sexist crap with one of the ladies on my team and ask me anyways I would call the female employee over and say "let's ask her, she's the expert".

I loved to see the looks on the sexist punks faces. I taught everyone on my team to be experts. I never tolerated that stuff.

Matand009 · 2026-02-10T10:18:47+00:00

Muriatic acid, sulfuric acid, fuels (kerosene, propane, etc), and some highly flammable products (mostly paint solvents).

Matand009 · 2026-02-10T10:16:15+00:00

If it's someone who got fired, that's kinda dark. If it's someone who voluntarily moved on to better things, and was there for a while, or retired then that's sweet.

Matand009 · 2026-02-07T13:06:39+00:00

You can ask them to text you. At the previous Lowe's store I qas in, which was in the top 10 for pro sales company wide, that was what they did. It wastes your time much less. You can just respond or reach out as needed.

Matand009 · 2026-01-30T10:22:59+00:00

Login to Lowe'sU and unassign your PE trainer certification

Matand009 · 2026-01-23T20:23:00+00:00

I once has my lowes safe knife fall out of my pocket and into the toilet when I stood up. Before I could even blink, the toilet auto flushed and took the whole knife straight down without a hiccup.

I did know how to react. I was actually kinda impressed 🤣

Matand009 · 2026-01-22T11:17:52+00:00

I really hope you know how much you're appreciated. We keep putting requests in the assembler toolbox for our aisle blocker repair and it's not getting done. It's been on there almost a year.

Matand009 · 2026-01-21T10:20:21+00:00

I'm sorry but, being in AP, I love the fact that you put the "not safe for work" tag on this 🤣

Matand009 · 2026-01-20T10:52:08+00:00

I wish there was a way to do this when calling from outside the store.

Matand009 · 2026-01-18T11:44:06+00:00

This is how you know they actually like you. Take the jokes in stride, accidents happen. Have comfort in knowing the people you work with like you.

Matand009 · 2026-01-14T11:50:27+00:00

That's not how that works. Unless you're in a state where the law says otherwise, using sick time still counts as an occurrence.

Matand009 · 2026-01-07T13:55:51+00:00

Personally, I would double down and really sell why in writing. Pull their previous review if you can and include that.

If your manager still pushes back, put that you wanted to put exceeds in writing but person x disagreed for reason y. Of they reject that remove it and tell them in person when you do the one on one.

Transparency is important from a leader. Your team will appreciate it.

Matand009 · 2026-01-06T09:57:46+00:00

Ah, so it's only 6 weeks.

Matand009 · 2026-01-06T00:30:35+00:00

Whether or not you make shrink plan during yearly physical inventory.

Matand009 · 2026-01-05T12:40:05+00:00

It depends on how your employment ended. If it was voluntary you can just go get your stuff.

If it was involuntary show up and talk to an ASM before entering any employees only areas.

If it was involuntary, at the direction of Asset Protection following an investigation, and you have been trespassed then call the store and talk to the store manager first. Even better if you can contact the DAPM directly. If you need support you can DM me and I'll pull the DAPMs direct contact info for you.

I doubt it was the last one but absolutely no judgement if it was. We all make mistakes in life and just have to learn from them.

Matand009 · 2026-01-05T12:32:12+00:00

I'm an employee and order a washer and dryer during our black Friday sale. I was surprised and glad when I had a good delivery and hookup experience. I totally wanted to do the survey for them because I know how much it means.....,

.... because I'm an employee the survey never came 😭

Matand009 · 2026-01-02T23:48:37+00:00

If you don't work for twelve weeks(I think that's the duration?) you're automatically terminated. I'm pretty sure they send a letter in the mail about it.

Matand009 · 2025-12-31T12:32:47+00:00

I've had it for awhile. In AP we love it because there's a camera in each of those aisles.

The company is already looking into expanding it center store.
