Lowe’s is one of the most toxic work environments that I have ever been in, and the way the managers turn on you is part of it. The sheer amount of negativity, threats, and intimidation from the asm staff is what finally drove me out after a long career with the company. It was smothering and sucking the life out of me. I finally woke up and realized, “ They obviously don’t value me anymore. Why should I put up with this kind of environment?” I turned in my letter of resignation to the store manager and politely walked out. I miss the comradery that I had with some of employees but that’s it. I now work for a small business where everyone is like family and all kinds of perks—paid time off whenever I want, an easy-going/comfortable work environment, mon-fri 830-5 with an occasional saturday, no nights or sundays, no corporate metrics to constantly be beat in the head about, and great relationships with management/ownership.
@nlo+1fzlCfSO says it perfectly.
