You can't keep the company running if you have no tenured help. Go to a Lowe's store and see how many people are still there that have 5+ years experience. If customers are fine with that, they go to Home Depot.
It would be interesting to find out the current percentage ratio of employees with 5+ years of experience and those who have been here less than that. Any guesses?
Home Depot is also starting their pay scale at $15 an hour. Should be interesting to see how that will play out in Melvin land.
I have a little over 20 years, work part time the past 6 1/2 years.
I can help customers in almost every department, but I've been stuck as a cashiers the past 5 years.
Only 7 left in store 528.
I left after 9 years in 2021. Melvin ki-led the company with the customer concentric scheduling, getting rid of PSI, FSA, Assemblers, Flat bed drivers and so on, oh the spiffs that certain employees where getting that were never to be taken away.
Saw the dreaded P51 reset- what a joke - What a shame because Lowe's was bearable before Melvin.
Corporate ran everyone off. The HD culture came in and poisoned the atmosphere. Complete a--holes. All of them!
Probably like 10 to 20 percent. Many tenured employees bolted in the last few years. By most accounts, they made the right move.
