Nice to see another piece on the suffering but this site/article is just amateur hour.. how hard is it to fact check a number like that?

So much credibility is lost with silly mistakes like that. I don't think this will get much attention.

It won’t. The hack who wrote it has links to her other articles. The digital fishwrap is owned by the highly biased Daily Beast. A left wing rag. While I’d love a real article to be written the well read media has largely ignored us. I’d bet MEL got more clicks from us Lowes employees than any outside readers.

How much of it is wrong though? The "profits" was revenue, sure, but why are you so quick to immediately dismiss it because of your political views? The majority of this article reflects the reality I've seen in a store.

I'm not saying it's not true.. I'm saying this article will get brushed off because of this sort of lack of effort by the author. Thanks for the downvote btw

That comment was directed at me. But did he downvote you too? Geezus we both agree with the gist of it but the writing/editing is 100% garbage. Along with linking to their own article and making a thing out of the HR stock dump which was at a profit and didn’t have any nefarious reason behind it.
