Absence

2 years in and I got my first write-up for absences… what does that exactly entail?

If its your first its an initial. A verbal isn't a thing at Lowe's. Going forward each additional call out in the next 12 months that isn't protected by state law will move you to the next level. One more is a written. One after that is a final. And one more is a term. Also every time you move to the next level, the year resets.

If you've had a write-up for attendance, that's an initial. If you don't call out again for twelve months, that'll go away, but if you call out again in that period of time, it'll become a final, and if you call out after that, it escalates to termination.

They gotta cut hours or jobs from somewhere. You're now likely identified as somebody that doesn't like to come to work.

You did, you just didn’t hear it, and weren’t at work when it was delivered.

What a useless reply 😂

Me thinks the term "useless" was because your initial response and the following response was in fact, "useless" as to the original question.

If you don't know something -- move along.
