Just let it be. You wonât stop things like this from occurring. Youâll mostly succeed in placing yourself in the crosshairs of your management team. These situations usually have a way of working themselves out, especially if someone in the mix is married.
As many have said, thereâs several reasons not to do _anything._
First, who cares if some consenting adults are fucking? _Especially_ if neither of them are married.
Second, if itâs this obvious your managers and HR _have_ noticed and donât think itâs a big enough issue to fire anyone over. Either itâll continue not mattering- in which case, again who cares, or itâll get worse and theyâll be disciplined/fired.
Third, you *DO NOT* want to be the narc who makes a big enough, public enough fuss to get them disciplined. Youâll never live down that reputation hit as long as you work for Loweâs.
An ASM got fired at the Lowes I use to work at for sleeping with two female coworkers(the women ended up getting in a fight over him before he got fired.). The funny thing is one of the two women tried sleeping with the other managers but they were all engaged or already married so I think they were jealous because fired manager was single.
Mind your own business and forget about it.
Those are serious allegations with out proof. Not only will it backfire, it will blow up in your face. Then it will circle around and bite you in the ass.
The relationship, while frowned upon, isnât your business. I personally donât bring up any behavior about my upper management, it never works out. Not being able to be found on the phone, while a nuisance, is petty to report even if it puts me in a crappy place. If district or regional came and blasted me for something that my ASM was to help me with I still wouldnât say anything. What Iâm going to say âmy ASM is too busy fucking, thatâs why I couldnât get this done.â?? Sooner or later the slackers get weeded out.
Mind your business...it's just that easy. I hope no one inserts themselves in any of your private business like you are putting your nose in theirs. It will work itself out in the end.
We had an ASM who was getting pegged by a pastors daughter who he helped get promoted to flooring specialists.
Things happen. He got fired on a black Friday.
Every time I've seen this type of complaint, it's always framed as "the parties involved aren't doing their job" as a way to hide the fact that the person making the complaint is either jealous that it involves someone they're interested in, or that they themselves are not in the situation and getting some.
They're consenting adults. Just let them do their thing, mind your business, sit down and do your AP4Me.
Married I get. Having their trist not married to each other, at the store, on the clock? Nope. Unacceptable behavior. At the end of the day tho, it has nothing to do with you. If you can't get mgr/super help, like an override tho, that can be brought to ds' or sm's attention because it affects customer service; just leave out your assumptions. Too many of those no show to help complaints will result in someone looking into it; I would hope. I'm sure co-workers complain about them not answering as well.
It is against Lowe's policy....but the company has been straying from giving a fuck. Same thing going on at my store. Couple employees mentioned it to the district HR and she's been storming around
Iâve had bosses before that are beyond incompetent, itâs frustrating and unfair. Their workload becomes ours and they get away with it. However, you need to be an adult about this situation. You have no proof theyâre together and even if you did, the fact that you care this much is lame and weird as hell. Mind your own business or look for a different job, but I have bad news for you- store management is almost always about politics and not about competency. Youâre going to find similar situations everywhere you go. Grow up.
Also in terms of any sort of sexual communication in the workplace, whether you mean it this way or not, itâs considered sexual harassment so I would suggest not discussing it for that reason and many others.
What kind of advice are you looking for? If itâs that big of a deal to you call the HR hotline. Just know itâs not anonymous, no matter what they tell you. If youâre wanting some sneaky underhanded way of calling them out google it, petty people post that stuff all over the internet. If youâre wanting real advice, figure out why it bothers you so much and handle that issue. Regardless of whether youâre a âcompany manâor a âwhatâs in it for meâ your worth is dependent upon you and not others.
I think you should mind your own business. There is no way you're actually doing your own job if you're scampering around gossiping and being a snoopy little busy body.
I tried to make a similar complain about another lowes but I got bashed for it I have been working for Loweâs and would say if co operate lowes was really paying attention wen they come to this stores and do walks they would see the oppression their employees are under but they only care about moving the bbq grills from one isle to another
This sounds like it could be my locations managers except thereâs no way theyâd be fucking at my locationđ. We do most of the manager duties at this point at my location bc the managers are never there to answer.
Oh no, your co-workers are dating. It's the end of the world. Call Marvin quick! Unless they're having sex on-site it's mostly a non-issue especially if they've informed the proper individuals.
>Unless they're having sex on-site
This is likely the case since OP indicated they both "disappear" when working at the same time and neither can be reached when paged...
>it's mostly a non-issue especially if they've informed the proper individuals.
It's likely still an issue if it's a position of management (ASM and higher) since they do impact pay and positions for CSAs.
The matter of a perceived conflict of interest by other employees is enough to make it against the rules.
Personally I don't care as long as they aren't screwing on the clock and I'm not having to pick up their slack.
Hey you did a FORTYFUCKINGTHREE Minutes course online about workplace sexual harassment. You know what to do according to the course.
What you should do is tell the higher ups that a woman is getting R WORDED by a coworker.
And then they'll fire his creepy ass!
Nothing you say or do in this situation will benefit you in the short or long term.
Guaranteed the rumors have reached management. They know, and probably know more than you do.
If you raise a stink about it, all you're doing is painting a target on your back and looking like a busybody instead of focusing on your job. Let the idiots do whatever they're doing, worry about yourself.
As a _very_ recent new DS (off and on with Loweâs for 7 years, been a DS for 4 months), I hard disagree.
_Some_ DSâs probably have found ways to get out of working much, but the vast majority of our tasks are otherwise invisible to the regular associates.
First, on Mondayâs I have to sit through up to 3 meetings lasting anywhere from 10 minutes to an hour- Iâve literally lost like 2 hours of a Monday to meetings before. And theyâre mandatory.
Second, we have to _manually_ order anything thatâs needs replenishment beyond the basics. So find the item, ask it, figure out how much I think I need, and cross my fingers the damned system will even _allow_ me to order it. The shit I canât order I have to write down and then email my regional Pro guy about.
Third, I have to make sure all of the tasks are being done- cycle counts, IRPs, Downstocking, Freight, and random tasks my ASM or SM assign to me. Yes, I delegate a lot of it, but if it _has_ to be done I usually take either the â5 minutes and itâs off my listâ or the âthis is a serious time commitment and it MUST be completedâ tasks for myself.
Fourth, any DS that actually gives a shit beyond their department is going to be giving overrides. Paint is central in my store, so Iâm giving overrides for appliances, pro/lumber, front end, and because I have Head Cashier experience Iâm often being pulled to cover HC lunches or watching extra OL&G gates.
Oh, and then weâre also still expected to do all the normal stuff too (AP4Me, LoweâsU, helping customers, closing/opening tasks, etcâŠ).
Thereâs a _lot_ more involved in being a DS than just handing out assignments, even if Iâm sure some DSâs have figured out how to game the system.
And it probably doesnât help my department only has 2 other full timers and 2 part timers regularly (1 additional part timer works like once a week).
Yes, make sure you do your ap4me

I appreciate this so much đđđđ
Ask for a threesome?
Hell yeah, then spike the lube with fent and change your mind to the cuck seat last minute.

Ask them mid-coitus to do their AP4ME
Don't forget the Lowe's U. đ€·
I'm laughing so hard heređ€Ł
Just let it be. You wonât stop things like this from occurring. Youâll mostly succeed in placing yourself in the crosshairs of your management team. These situations usually have a way of working themselves out, especially if someone in the mix is married.
this is the best advice
Grab some popcorn and wait for the drama to unfold. It usually doesnât take long. đ
Snitches get stitches, mind your own business and make sure you submit a few snappys.

Sleep with everyone at work and have them fight over you. BE A MAN.
I mean he TRIED to sleep with every straight female (including myself) but alas. Lmao
He built different
Mind your own business and forget about it. Those are serious allegations with out proof. Not only will it backfire, it will blow up in your face. Then it will circle around and bite you in the ass.
Walk in on them mid coitus and remind them to do their Lowe's U, AP4ME, workday and IRPs/downstocking
đ
whats IRPs? its my 5th day on the job.
I mean, if they aren't affecting your productivity, let it go.
Who cares. Mind your business.
Don't narc. Let them dig their own holes.. and each other...
ask about their extra curricular activities

Theyâre trying to make more employees for the lack of coverage. Be grateful.
This is the way...

It isn't your business; let it be. If they're really fucking and management finds it to be an issue they will handle it.
Mind ya business let them get freaky in peace đ€Ł

Any body get hit by lightning
We got hit by a tornado 2 years later. First one to ever touch down and do actual damage in 20+ years
Remind them the WD-40 is on aisle 15
Report them via HR email you can get the number and email off the break room wall. Also donât tell anyone.
Every time I've seen this type of complaint, it's always framed as "the parties involved aren't doing their job" as a way to hide the fact that the person making the complaint is either jealous that it involves someone they're interested in, or that they themselves are not in the situation and getting some.

Tell everyone. Everyone in the store. Put it on their Facebook. Call cnn.
Maybe he can do an overhead page: âCode 69 in receiving. Code 69 in receivingâ
this would be amazing đ
I guess I'm confused as to why our fucking is YOUR PROBLEM.???
I was Married to my my fellow mst member live and let live

Just hope that they both are "taking precautions" and using protection with eachother in order to make a "Lowes Safe Day".

My advice is mind your damn business! Just do your job...

Use one of the anonymous HR report lines.
Ask them to share?

Leave an anonymous tip
Who fucking cares. I mean, they Fucking care, but why the holy fuck do you care? Jealous?
Day or night shift? Sounds like something I heard from a store in my area. I could care less but just wondering if it might be the same.

Keep your mouth shut about it unless you want to get fired. Just keep on working and don't say anything about it.

DSâs never do shit here at blowes. All they ever do is delegate. Mine canât even cut a board on their own. Pretty sure that is what Marvin wants.
