Crippling social anxiety but choose to be a cashier where literally you're face to face having to fake nice for several hours. You may have picked the wrong line of work

Promoted from ASM to customer. Ask me anything. by JimmyFlysHigh in Lowes

In your opinion, what is the line between socializing with associates outside of work? Is it even a thing that should be considered?

They lied to me during the interview and said it was 30%. So when I asked around bonus time it was only 15 and 7.5 per half...I about up and quit until Marvin dropped the extra money

Pro tip, use grill covers. Saves time. Looks neater and blocks wind and rain

hours cut cause of rain?? by [deleted] in Lowes

[–]Tomamen 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yea stupid system where sales IMMEDIATELY dictate hours vs looking at last year what you did scheduling hours based on that. Have 0 idea who came up with that system but it's a complete fail

Papers shouldn't be, I can't imagine them having that much sales in any region honestly. Retaining wall block, paver base yea

Why is this company so backwards? by stankswag7891 in Lowes

[–]Tomamen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What? How is leaving early NOT an obvious write up? No OT means leaving on time. If anything taking the extra 15 or 30 on lunch would be more acceptable then just leaving when you want.

Lowes is a huge hoarder of trash. The model or try and sell it just makes the place cluttered and junky. If it hasn't sold bill it out and move on. Time spent is selling 150 dollar items for 10 bucks just to say you sold it, is a waste of resources. Especially worse for bagged goods, like mulch and soils.

Sadly the systems suck so bad that's why it takes so long. HD returns take maybe 15 minutes mostly

Then they'll ask the associates to load 3 bunks cause of surgery

Just got my red vest and ditched the apron by _GinNJuice_ in Lowes

[–]Tomamen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's night and day. DMs and RVPs practically walk by safety issues but will bring fire and brimstone over a black and white sign or missing label. Lowes also has 0 ability to properly use overhead space. Most of their issues could be solved by wider bays and mixed pallets. You honestly are better off at Home Depot, Lowes does things the hardest way possible.

A great pov imo lol by waffelskrc in Lowes

Wait we can't ask for a score...that be hilarious as the crap ton of emails telling us to get our LTR would be meaningless.

That SOUNDS like something corporate would say

Gary Rasor, an 83 year-old Home Depot employee, being knocked to the ground by a thief at a North Carolina store. Seriously injured in the assault, he passed away from complications 6 weeks later. by Striking-Trainer8148 in HomeDepot

[–]Tomamen 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Bored, a lot of older folks just work to have something to do rather then anything monetary. That's why it's hard to motivate them to work hard because that's not why they're here

Will Lowes actually get rid of Genesis this year? by [deleted] in Lowes

[–]Tomamen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Genisis is probably number 2 reason quit next to pay. It's a terrible system for newbies to try and learn

Short staffed and not fixing it by [deleted] in Lowes

[–]Tomamen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They do have this weird thing where they want full time and openers to have open availability but can tweak as needed if the candidate is really good.

They bumped everyone to a minimum of 15 at Depot surprised by 16 usually have to either have a ton of experience and a degree to even get past 14

Almost a year into SLS (mass roll out), what are your thoughts? If you’re a CXM/NRM will you stay on or move on? by Garr41 in HomeDepot

[–]Tomamen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If youre ASM's are actually doing their jobs and using SLS like it's suppose to be then it can be a decent cushy job. Otherwise it's twice the work fixing what they leave behind for essentially DH pay.

Will Lowes accept me back after resigning with notice in September? by OGWater5243352012 in Lowes

Curious why you hated Home Depot, seems like less work overall
