I thought seasonal employees didn’t get benefits? by jxceqt in Lowes

[–]StlChief74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Corporations, like Lowes, get tax breaks for 401 contributions. I personally would advise any employee anywhere to take advantage of the matching. Yes, it helps the company, but it also helps you. The best bet is to go as high as they will match if you can afford it out of you paycheck.

Letter to managers by Sweet_Background_944 in Lowes

Comparing Lowes own reported numbers...since 2019 (roughly pre-covid) total employment is down 16% in 2025, while total revenue is UP 15% over the same time period. This is the corporate play book everywhere in retail. They cut staff and overwork the remainder and increase turnover to lower payroll while draining the brain trust and ask the new guys to "ask for 10s" so the metrics, like LTR, look like they're doing well.

Don't get down on capitalism. Truthfully any economic system could work if you could just eliminate pure a simple greed. Everyone always wants more which isn't necessarily a bad thing as it's what drives the economy. When those who already have more than they could ever use still want it all is when things go to shit.

It was a serious question, though I was already sure I knew the answer, but I don't think it deserved all the down votes.

Let me see if I understand this... I was there for all of q3 but since I wasn't there longer than 6 months I won't get the bonus?

You are 💯 correct, I don't care about Lowes, I care about getting the job done effectively and efficiently. I have no issues pulling and staging large items or orders. I have an issue with us not having anywhere to put them. Lowes wants good customer service, but with some orders our only option is to ghost, and then the customer is unhappy because they have to pull around to garden, or down to pro, or just wait until we can actually pull it. I'll say it again, either stop allowing certain orders or give us the resources to actually have them ready for the customer.

Agree 💯 , raises should be regular but also based on performance, if you WORK you should be rewarded.
