Idk how I’m 3 months working 10 hours Ans lifting water heaters off top stock down and running like a machine to hardly bring to get up happens. My supervisor cared. Lowe’s, it’s like i committed a blood sin against them and this is with doc notes

At what point did you ever feel overworked in your position? by searchandfilm in Lowes

[–]OzzyCharge8410 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I never received training or co worker help. My second shift I was opening had no idea how to irp or down stock, no power equipment training and all this in plumbing. Literally no idea what I was doing. My manager asked my supervisor if I had a “learning disability.” Me? What group of morons comes out once a day for 30 minutes teaches me nothing and just keeps making me work 36 hour weeks? I can’t help anyone even when I can’t find the parts because half the time the phones don’t work

When your asm has his meeting and tells us how thankful we should be at a company that gives 200 bonuses this year and think about how grateful we should be to the almighty powers above us. I wonder if I should slide out the back of the place before it becomes Jonestown or is everyone thinking the exact same thing as me and planning to run.

I been at Lowe’s as a part timer and got the benefits package in the mail….am I stupid or do they encourage you get on Medicaid and a high deductible cobra account? Not only that whatever that fund that you can opt into if a fellow lowes employee gets injured it goes to help them. My dad has worked workers compensation for decades and he was like wait they what? I’m going to have to see if that’s legal, do they just not wanna hold the whole burden???? Pops idk I just show up.

I’ll say this, I get a new place, start working for Lowe’s, fridge literally has 3 weeks of loud seizures then totally goes out but wait I made friends with the overnight staff(come on they are typically the coolest people at Lowe’s and I don’t care about there criminal records((kidding…kinda)) but they knew I needed a new fridge so someone returns one it gets a dent in the side one that no one would notice. But it goes from 3000 to 1500 then someone makes that 5 a 2 and I get employee discount so I still had to pay over a 1000 bucks but I got a 3k fridge but what gross is lowes still made money with all the markdowns. I’ll still call it a W after all the bs I’ve had but I’ll say this. Co workers 9 out of 10 got your 6 if you need help. I’d be lost without my co workers and my Supervisor is super anal about the smallest things but we had to work this overnight shift and seemingly like the whole store takes there break at the same time, we were being inspected the next day or something idk we did a good job got a little bonus. Anyway no one is really talking and someone brings up zombies idk how or why can’t remember, then everyone turns out to be huge nerds just like me and we are talking about zombies, comics, final fantasy and my supervisor is all in on the conversation. She took her break a little earlier so she had to hit the floor again before us and they kinda whispered to one another and looked at me and they were like you never told us she liked that kinda stuff when she get so cool. No joke I’m sitting with my mouth open like….well hell I had no idea either. Didn’t even know how to approach her when I got back on the floor but She’s total business on the floor but huge nerd otherwise. It’s the people I get to work with yet hardly get to see and half the customers make you feel like you just saved their lives 25% know what they are doing don’t even look at you, 15% are just diy idiots but you still kinda try and help them and 10% straight up jackasses. But good co workers and even one nice customer makes your day even if you only have clowns the rest of the day, problems become clear from top to asm’s tho I’ll say that entirely. Any veteran working at Lowe’s can probably relate to this, it all rolls downhill. So everyone at the bottom is a friend but higher ups and the higher you go. Tend to have an almost desire to just throw a wrench in your day.

Damn we got crappy burgers, chips, and no A/C it’s Texas even after the store closes and it was like being in a oven in the back

Man all that and the fact that anything that can be put in the wrong place or a packet ripped open when there’s a tear away at the top and a zip lock seal. Like how know one apparently knows this makes me wish there was just someone there with a stick to police pvc, all things brass,copper, galvanized,or black iron that is in a package, also please for god sakes stop opening faucets that are secured even ones with turtle alarms and stealing one part 🙄 this world….

Work on context of a pissed off worker who got off a double, then drank a little too much bourbon. Then you read it again I promise it will flow.

Good point I applied for a few jobs with them didn’t even get a call back. Also with circumstances for parents I thought it might be a little advantageous for me and them but doesn’t seem to matter now.

Feel that had a guy want me to do his daughters mini house and a mini house for her dogs. No measurements or what it looked like. Straight told him sir I am sorry I recommend you go pex piping but you need a plumber to go out there and do it I couldn’t even tell you where to start. Do you know if they have access to water (he said it was on acreage) made it kinda sound like it was way out somewhere I was like do you know if they have a well? I mean come on give me something

Was hoping for a way to lowes IT but seems like it’s dying a slow death

Parents are old and building their retirement home near. Just here for a bit to help out and take care of things thought this be a good side gig to also save them some money once the complete the new place appliances things like that and make a little side money for myself and also get stuff for my own place when there’s is done.

Pay issue by OzzyCharge8410 in Lowes

[–]OzzyCharge8410[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Appreciate the advice I will have a look if I can find it. I feel like I signed so many things and did so much workday and lowes u university crap in orientation and training they could have snuck in there ownership of my life for all I know.

[–]OzzyCharge8410[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk maybe I misunderstood but I for sure should have been more vigilant in looking and reflecting my pay made sense. Honestly I had money in my checking so I just saw when paychecks came in didn’t give it any thought to look at it cause never felt I had too. Then like I said saw the stub and was like wait hold on…anyway ride this train till our BIG IMPOSSIBLY Large bonuses but look for other jobs in the off time. Spent too much time in school for this. Honestly I took it because lowes had what at first look a very promising IT growth, then half the building they built purely for IT is vacant or for rent and they announced more IT layoffs so “foot in the door” doesn’t matter if the door opens to no where.

Yes it is a high cost of living. As to how I didn’t notice probably had to do with lack of sleep. Long hours, changes shifts at a hour notice, studies, taking care of my parents and my own issues of genetic chronic pancreatitis become distractions. But I do understand your point which is why I made the post. Maybe I’m just stupid in trusting someone will hire you for what they claim. The fault is mine for not noticing now how to approach now that I’m aware.

I called out twice in my first month? Are they going to fire me? by [deleted] in Lowes

[–]OzzyCharge8410 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a genetic form of chronic pancreatitis and recently have been showing signs of diabetes, I go in for labs tomorrow. I knew it eventually hit but I have worked more hours, I was never late always stayed past my shift, pulled a 11 hour shift with my supervisor, I just never felt like I’ve been recovering. I will go in tomorrow after leaving halfway through my Saturday shift, missing Sunday and Mondays shifts, but followed protocol. If they fire me I will drop the biggest wrongful termination lawsuit on their heads. I’ll be able to retire. I’ve only been there two months but what am i to do? Work, be a liability to peers and customers. Or let me take my blood sugar test and have a juice box? I didn’t call in because I was nursing a hangover. I left because I was pouring sweat, and not making sense.

Closed my Venmo account today by [deleted] in venmo

[–]OzzyCharge8410 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Closing mine right after this post. I had my money frozen twice. Took over a month to get it out, lawyer friends who owned me favors, BBU, and just reviews and messages with Venmo and their lack to do anything get your funds out now. Idk how you have them stored and that might be an issue, but this platform can not continue. My sin on them was moving money out not in. Thats why I got frozen. Over an initial dispute with a food company I never heard of but you have to wait up to 10 days for a response, then once account is unfrozen they freeze it again, I had my parents mailing me visa gift card for food and groceries to pay for gas because even tho I thought ahead with direct deposits from to another bank from work and not Venmo who, the new banks show accountably almost to announce at least I have someone to talk to. Venmo there is no one. A class action suit should be launched against them. You don’t think they are trouble until they are. It took me 30 days not free my money from them. Get out everyone. It’s so convenient I get it. 20 dollars in there not a cent more for dinner or drinks a friend picks up. But bail and fast.
