Thread regarding Lowe's Cos. layoffs

How long would you stay if you were just newly hired?

Working in Lowe's has never been or meant to have been good for the employee; it is and always was about what the associate can do for the store. Nowadays, with 10 hour shifts they are taking more of your home life and making the home vs. work balance even more uneven in favor of the store. This will be it for me; if it was like this when I started, I doubt if I would have been here this long but now the place has outlived its usefulness to me. - quote @hqdmr+XVMOnO1

I share this poster's opinion. I stayed here for 7 years, but if I had only gotten a job recently, I would probably only have stayed for a month.

I AM a new hire..
I start date was pushed back a week because of problems with the computer system.
The first week, with all the training, was a bit slim but the second week went well.

But then... I finished my shift one morning and there were no more shifts listed on my schedule. Nada. I had mentioned it earlier in the week but no one gave me a straight answer. It wasn't until Sunday morning that I noticed new shifts had been posted on my schedule. But the next shift was about s 2 & 1/2 weeks later. That means there's going to be a two week period in which I don't get paid.

I've left voicemails and sent emails but I have not had a single reply of any sort. So, I had no noticed and received no explanation.

Honestly, I don't even feel as if I really do work for Lowes at this point.
I know I can't work for a company that gives such sparse and erratic work schedules.

There's been a serious lack of communication, lack of respect, and a lack of consideration.

Lowe's and Mutant Marv need to fix their downhill slide. Employees are leaving in droves in my district here in New England. Part timers are threatening to complain to the state that they were hired and not getting any hours. I hope Lowe's gets nailed.
