Let's face it, most of us know our time at BBBY is limited even if we've been here for a decade or more. Now's the best time to work on improving our skills and moving away from retail in general. I'd recommend checking out technical degrees at your... — read more
New hires missing their first day
This is happening more and more often here, new hires just don't show up on the first day at work or they only work for one or two days and then disappear. I am very curious why this is happening because recently it happened again that the newbie... — read more

Fired for conversion
One of our key holders was fired today fir not making the conversion goal firing her shifts. She was the only one out there working with us trying to make it happen. The SM and the other keys just walk around and look at everything telling the... — read more
Foot traffic down
A majority of customers that come in the store tell me they stopped coming because of how BBBY treats their employees. There are a lot of them that have sworn of BBBY because of this. I hear it every day while working here.
Layoffs coming???
The weekly cutting of hours because of lack of sales is just making layoffs in the near future more promising. Anyone agree?
Having a hard time finding better option in retail
Perhaps others are luckier, but I've been trying for a long time to find a better opportunity in retail and without success. It all depends on the priorities. Some companies offer higher pay, but people say that the stress is much higher there (if... — read more
There's nothing good about BBBY
I don't understand how so many people can be BBBY's cheerleaders right now (unless it's the same person over and over again, which would make more sense). We are not paid well, we have terrible management, plenty of horrible co-workers who will... — read more
Who will replace Mark Tritton?
Thoughts?
CEO
I truly believe that the CEO will be gone by Christmas. He has done nothing but spend spend spend without showing any profit in the stores. I get all of the remodels are long overdue but they haven’t helped the sales. Cutting hours in the stores is... — read more
The public avoids BB&B because former workers inform the public the company is abusive and toxic.
The public avoids BB&B because former workers inform the public the company is abusive and toxic. Current employees as well as past employees spread the word to their family, friends, neighbors. You treat your employees like cr-p, and the employees... — read more
Cutting hours will not solve the company's problem
We are not to blame because people here are making less and less purchases. It is the fault of those who do nothing to ensure that stores are not empty and that customers actually have something to buy. Does our leadership really think that cutting... — read more
clever way to get rid of 20% off
first, they tried to stop sending the 20% coupons, but people didn't like that so they kept sending them. they tried raising the price of beyond plus when they realized how much that unlimited 20% off was costing us, but people didn't like that... — read more
Remember Linens n Things?
Just think, someday five or ten years from now someone will post “Remember Bed, bath & Bryond”
Bad Ideas start at the top
Whole new concept on trying to get the most productivity with the least amount of hours and staff. The time study was done on paper in a store while it was closed. So they never factored in the customers. Basically you do every job in the store for... — read more
New board
Can we start a new board for the honest hardworking BBBY store employees that are trying so hard to save this company? This board has just turned into a hateful place for corporate goons to belittle the hard working store employees that are holding... — read more
BuyBuy Baby business
I used to work in this unit. Now I honestly don’t know what to think about divesting BuyBuy Baby. I have conflicting opinions about it. Any thoughts?
What different?
I look at other retailers and other companies on this forum and it’s really odd the BBBY has so many whiny, immature crybaby employees that post here compared to the others. Just get another job if you don’t like it. Posting here will do nothing... — read more
Expectations
It is sad that some still have high expectations of bbby and are disappointed every time they realize that bbby cares neither for them nor for their expectations. This should be just a temporary job for everyone until they find something better... — read more
I can't be at two places at the same time
It's not possible. If I could clone myself I would, but I can't. So when we don't have enough people to cover everything no amount of yelling is going to help and make me split in two to cover everything at once. Sometimes the idiocy of some people... — read more
All store meeting
Loved the all store meeting today. Very positive and informative. Can’t wait for the future.
Anyone else?
Anyone else having this problem? We are still receiving lots of Christmas merchandise. It just keep coming in despite it not being Christmas time anymore.
JDA caused our downfall
Relying on that antiquated system for so long put us decades behind.
Interested buyers in Baby
https://www.cnbc.com/2022/04/22/bed-bath-beyond-stock-jumps-on-report-company-received-a-bid-for-buybuy-baby-unit.html It seems there are already talks happening.
Merchandise delays
Our store is seeing lots of delays in receiving merchandise. Does anyone know why this is? We are still getting merchandise for Christmas. This seems odd.
The road to success is simple
When it comes to retail, it's definitely not quantum physics. First of all, don't just hire employees and throw them to the wolves. Train them properly. Then pay them competitive wages and treat them well. That's it. That's all it takes to have a... — read more
Receiving
We are still receiving Christmas merchandise. Is this happening to anyone else?
Leave the sinking ship now
This is my advice, because it's happened to me a couple of times that I had to look for a job when I didn't have a job and the stress was incomparably greater than looking for a job while you still have a job. We all knows this, but for some reason... — read more
Employees whose hours were cut
It's not true that hours are not cut for those who are good workers, as someone said. Why such a lie? Hours are also cut for many employees who are doing a great job here. Moreover, hours are unjustly cut for many who always worked with diligence... — read more

Supply Chain Issues
