Why did you stay so long?
In the early years Lowe's was a decent retail company to work for. I made decent money, the harder I worked the more I made. Yes, some of the managers were a'holes but because of the money and the fact I really enjoyed doing the design work I overlooked where I worked. In 2012 Lowe's took our incentive money away, I lost 20% of my pay and any opportunity to make any more money though hard work. I most likely would have lost another 20% of my pay in the near future due to the way they restructured the pay for the people hired before Feb 2012. They actually did me a favor in a strange sort of way. I feel better and look forward to rejoining the workforce doing what I enjoy and at a better place,
