Coworkers su-k. Management has no consistency and always pick favorites. Standards are lower than ever and it always seems like company is being successful despite their silly programs and backwards ways of doing things. Meeting was a disheartening waste of time, left me more detached from the store than ever. Sorry, just had to get this off my chest.

Yes, this place is a total $hithole. If you aren't careful, you'll get physically ill here.
What a store wide meeting it was indeed, a turning point for me to not believe anything from anyone in management, be it manager, ASM, DS... so many have bs'd me before.
From here on, do what I can within reason, leave for the day. Most coworkers are fine, some are total a$$holes, some are very nice and can share similar issues regarding the crapfest we endure day-to-day.
But this last Sunday was it for me...
Confusing rewards programs added on to a shaky IT infrastructure leaving customers and employees both frustrated and bewildered. This is the new Lowes.
The specialist in our store is literally selling herself for sales in back, she has her act down beautifully. You can sense the se-----y charged atmosphere, and it doesn't hurt when she's the favorite of the specialist ASM. A wild young lass in her 20s willing to go the extra mile. Gotta luv it... NOT!
We had our meeting at 5:30 this Sunday morning, gotta love the corporate bs. Our new glorious manager said all we have to do is get a credit card an hour with a $25 purchase, then we are entitled to a whopping $15/hour on top of our slave wages. A problem though, the 20% initial sign-up is gone for the rewards card in a few days, now we have 5% off, $5 coupon and all that juicy Lowe's reward money... can you imagine the frenzy consumer loving this fiasco. LOL
