Lowe’s reportedly cut around 600 jobs nationwide.
According to reports – both news channels and some of the affected workers on social media networks – the latest round of layoffs are cutting corporate staff positions.
It has been said that the layoffs will affect support roles such as project managers and software engineers.

Online, some affected workers say they were given no notice, with their termination made effective in team meetings.
Some say they were laid off in group virtual meetings where participants were anonymous, muted, and unable to ask questions.
One report says that affected workers who didn’t attend the meetings only learned their jobs were eliminated after losing access to Lowe’s computer systems.
From the sounds of it, a lot of tech workers were laid off. Again. (See Workers Say Lowe’s is Firing their Entire IT Support Department.)

Supposedly, Lowe’s filed a WARN a few days ago, and the layoffs are not immediate. https://www.thehrdigest.com/the-frontline-pivot-the-lowes-layoffs-reveal-the-2026-retail-strategy/

Affected employees have reportedly been notified with regard to the impact on their jobs, and none of the roles are believed to be union-protected…Lowe’s employees affected by the layoffs will be provided with financial assistance, career transition support, and continued access to benefits for a limited period.’
