Lowe's is cutting hundreds of jobs, moving more to headquarters

Lowe's is slashing and rearranging jobs in the Charlotte area, and the moves are poised to affect about 800 employees.

The Charlotte Observer was first to report that 207 full-time workers at the company's Charlotte area cross-dock terminal will be laid off, while about 600 full-time employees will move from Wilkesboro, North Carolina, to Lowe's headquarters in Mooresville.

A Lowe's spokesperson confirmed the report and announced that 80 associates will move from Wiklesboro to Winston-Salem.

"This will bring teams that perform similar functions together, supporting greater collaboration and business performance," the spokesperson told Business Insider in a statement. "Wilkesboro continues to be a contact center and central production office, which employ more than 1,300 associates. Associates are being encouraged to transfer with their roles, and we will offer relocation assistance to qualifying associates and severance to anyone who elects not to work in the new location."

The company spokesperson called the shift of the 600 employees and the layoffs "unrelated." As for the laid-off employees, the spokesperson said that the company was "making every effort to retain associates in other positions at the company, and we are focused on making their transition as smooth as possible."

and only getting 32 hours or less per week,you should pack up and move to a City where there are more job openings with less hours.

How much did Lowe's CEO give Trump? It was a ton.
