It's all in the corportate phone book. Of course these can be few and far between. Your HR, or admin should have one for sure

If you're smart, you WON'T ask your Adm. or HR for it. If you do, of course their first question will be, "why do you want it?" Then you'll have a target on your forehead for the remainder of your tenure at Lowe's, which will become quickly short-lived. Even if your request is benign, Lowe's senior store management read malevolency into everything, they can be vindictive as hell and they forever hold a grudge.

Forever hold a grudge? I think you are assuming too much. Admin can't fire you anyway...ops sm and hr can.

Anyone with email or even web access can easily find some information on the heads of the company as to their actual email addresses etc.

With all due respect, "forever" might might be a little over the top, but they'll hold a grudge for as long as you're employed by Lowe's. In the case at hand, they will find a way to make you vanish. I never said Admin. could fire you, but they certainly could make your life miserable. And let's face it, Adm., Sales, Ops, HR and the store manager all have their own little clique. Nature of the beast.

As to finding some info on the web about corporate contacts, only the top echelon of Lowe's management can be determined from the web. If, for instance, you wanted to know the name/phone number of the Regional Manager for HR or the Regional LP Manager, that's info that is not normally found on the web, or shown on any chart in the back of the store.

I happen to see the corporate phone book one time (accidentally, when I was in the front office getting my ass chewed out for something I guess - j/k) and I was astonished at its size. Lowe's corporate certainly has built an empire in Mooresville, that's for sure.

I understand what you are saying but I actually have a corporate phone book. Granted it's dated from 2004 but still. Much of the upper management doesn't always get along. I'd say most don't last more than a few years. Between cut backs on the budget and other employers paying more money...

The area HR and DM are shown on the board by the labor relations propaganda. If you have not gone through them already you must realize that you'll be pissing off a ton of people by not following the chain of command.

I worked at another company and called their "800" number about a situation at the location where I was working. I did not give my name. I was promised there would be no action taken against me (if I were to be found out). It was actually a question on the use of part-time and temporary workers (time limits for such workers). Within two days, one gentleman was fired for no reason (3 years service as a temp). The witch hunt was on. I was "laid off" 3 days later and told not to contact the company or set foot on the property. IT WAS NOT AN UNION SHOP. I informed a fellow co-worker, they got the right guy and they could stop firing innocent people. If you call a company "800" hotline or e-mail them concerning a problem, you put a target on your head and may cause others not involved in the problem to lose their job. I am sure Lowes is no different. I am telling you this from experience.

Yea, walk into your training room. Your District Manager and Regional Manager telephone and fax numbers should be posted on the wall.

Phone number and e-mail are in the following statement.

Any Employee having information or knowledge of any actual or contemplated transaction or conduct that appears to violate this Code or who becomes aware of an actual or potential conflict of interest shall promptly inform his or her supervisor or report the matter by calling Lowe's Open Door Line at 1-800-784-9592 or by contacting Lowe's at www.ethicspoint.com. If the actual or contemplated violations of this Code, or actual or potential conflicts of interest, involve Lowe's principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller or persons performing similar functions or any other executive officer, such matters should be reported directly to Lowe's General Counsel, but can also be reported by calling Lowe's Open Door Line at 1-800-784-9592 or by contacting Lowe's at www.ethicspoint.com. The company will not permit retaliation against Employees for reporting, in good faith, suspected violations of this Code.

The Internal Audit Department, as part of its regular procedures, shall assess compliance with this Code. All management Employees (and those non-management Employees designated by senior management) shall be required at least annually to affirm, to the best of their knowledge, that they have complied with this Code, have no knowledge of any violation of this Code not previously reported and have not been requested to engage in any activity in violation of this Code. Employees may also be required to submit detailed information on any business interest in which they or their immediate family are involved.

The company's outside independent auditors shall report promptly in writing to the General Counsel any matter discovered during their examination of Lowe's financial statements that appear to violate this Code. The Internal Audit Department shall report promptly in writing to the General Counsel any matter reported to or investigated by the Internal Audit Department that appears to involve a violation of this Code.

Lowe's will evaluate all complaints and reports of violations of this Code, and, when warranted, Lowe's will conduct either an informal inquiry into the matter or a formal investigation and forward the results to appropriate members of management for follow up. Depending upon the nature and circumstances of the alleged violation, a report or complaint may be addressed by any one or a combination of the following departments at Lowe's: Human Resources, Internal Audit, Legal, or Loss Prevention.

The failure of any Employee of Lowe's to comply with this Code will result in disciplinary action which, depending on the seriousness of the matter, may include reprimand, probation, suspension, demotion or dismissal, and possible civil or criminal action including reporting the unethical behavior to the appropriate authorities. Disciplinary measures will apply to supervisors and senior executives who condone questionable, improper, or illegal conduct by those Employees reporting to them or who fail to take appropriate corrective action when such matters are brought to their attention, or who allow unethical or illegal conduct to occur because of their inattention to their supervisory responsibilities.
