Lowe's Empowers Assault Survivor, Rehires Her After Brave Intervention

Lowe's has rehired Donna Hansbrough, a 68-year-old employee who was fired after trying to stop shoplifters at a Georgia store, resulting in a black eye. The company initially terminated her for violating their policy against employees intervening in theft situations. However, after senior management reviewed the incident and spoke with Hansbrough, they decided to reinstate her job, emphasizing the importance of customer and employee safety. Hansbrough, who had worked for Lowe's for 13 years, accepted the offer to return.
