Bills have to be paid, but health is priceless. Isn't it sad that many decide to leave BBBY only after their health deteriorates? If such statistics existed, it would be interesting, and probably appalling, to see how negatively this place... — read more 

Can someone explain to me why it is not unusual for BBBY to close a store that is actually performing very well? I have a friend who used to work in one such store that was closed some time ago.

Two years ago my store was one of the 200 slated to close. We began our liquidation process in October and closed the doors to the last customer the week before Christmas. At the news of our closing, 3 key holders bailed leaving store manager, 3... — read more 

There is no need to blame those who have stayed here for a long time. Some people are more ambitious by nature, some are not and stay in one place for a long time. I wonder where the long timers went after they finally left BBBY? Are most of... — read more

All of us working here have known for years that most of what the ELT has been presenting to the public and shareholders has been nothing but smoke and mirrors. Some of us tried to speak up but we were ignored. Now chickens have come home to roost... — read more 

I worked at Kmart for 12 years before my store closed. BBBY is going down the SAME path, right down to the stupid rewards program. Ask Kmart how well that saved them! The rewards program was one of many nails that ki---d Kmart and it will ki-l BBBY... — read more 

What the heck is wrong with you? I’ve worked in retail over 25 years and I have never seen so much entitlement and arrogance from such incredibly demanding customers in my career. I am sorry you have to wait 10 minutes in line while an id--t holds up... — read more 

Deliberately undercut their SM if they did not like the person?

Why haven't they published the full list of 150 closing stores? Why let us know about 56 and not the rest? You can't convince me they're still deciding which stores they're closing. You do not give a precise number and then see how to fill it. They... — read more 

I'm in a store that is supposedly safe. Though I highly doubt it. Our numbers are so low we can't possibly even be paying for the utilities. But our customers more com e in now to see the wreckage and complain about empty shelves. Not so much to... — read more 

We cannot seem to find reliable help. Any new hires seem to quit or start calling out from the get go. And now there aren't even many applications coming through. What is going on in everyone else's stores?

I can finally tell off all the rude and entitled customers, and I've been enjoying it immensely. The look on their face is priceless. They always want to talk to a manager, but what are they going to do, fire me? I'm doing them a favor by staying... — read more 

Run for the borders and look for another bright company. The worst is yet to come!

What an unoriginal, silly name. Couldn’t come up with something so they decided to go with this mess? How about “C is for China”- as in made in China junk! 🙄

Has anyone just laid off been set up with the job placement or resume services mentioned in a severance package? When we supposed get that?

So here is your reward for still having a job either now part time or hours cut. Love, BBB

Who do we contact if we weren’t paid for all hours worked that last week that we were laid off? I knew that was gonna happen due to the fact that we were paid for that week before we even punched out on our last day.

I have no idea how fast we accrue our vacation time. I knew I'd owe some (I had just taken a few day vacation two weeks prior) but I wasn't expecting my entire 1 week paycheck to be taken.

The fate of all BBB associates was decided well over a year ago. If anyone left still can't see the writing on the wall they are just in denial or too lazy to find another job. Exactly. It is always better to look for your next job while you have... — read more

Has anyone filed for unemployment yet? Who also received severance

Any announcements on stores closing?

Can someone explain?

Has anyone received the email for your severance package? I have signed nothing at this point and it has been over a week since I was offered severance or to go part time. I am feeling uneasy that I will not receive my severance.

Guys, It’s business as usual. Ignore below irrelevant posts. Thanks!

Most people here advise leaving this place as soon as possible. I know that without anyone telling me. I'm more than depressed because I can't find anything else.
