People here either complain about doing work for several people and do their best, or they brag about doing the bare minimum. However, in spite of everything, I think that there is still a higher percentage of those who give their best, than those... — read more
Paid as PT, but...
This is just a part time job for me and normally I wouldn't care much, but I really need this job at the moment and that's the only reason I didn't give up on everything. On the other hand, as someone who is paid part time, I don't want to work as if... — read more
Vaccine
Todays the day! Must turn in vaccinate cards by today! So what happens if I refuse to get vaccinated? Will I be let go?
Bed Bath to BuyBuyBaby
We would like to understand why when Bed Bath stores are closing those associates can't transfer to a nearby BuyBuyBaby? We have stores in driving distance closing, great associates losing their jobs, when Baby is struggling to hire and fill... — read more
how soon
so how long before this site actually gets to be what it is meant to be and let people that get laid off complain. lots of stores closing and a new year. not everyone will be safe.
Ridiculous doesn't even begin to cover it
Things were always busy but lately, I'm expected to be in five places at once. Even worse, I get yelled at if I'm not. Do these people ever listen to themselves and what they're saying? Do they know how id--tic they sound when they spout cr-p about... — read more
Is there a reason for so much micromanagement?
Perhaps it would be better for the manager to direct his energy into something else, instead of being fully committed to controlling everything everyone does. It's getting ridiculous. What is he trying to achieve with that? Totally unnecessary. I... — read more
Really R$b
RO$. You sit at home and want your employees to TRY and get to work in the middle of a snow storm…Missouri and Illinois declared a state of emergency and called in the national guard but yet hey…go ahead and try and get into the store while I sit at... — read more
Hired just to make our job a nightmare?!
It was bearable for me here until the new SM came along. It is now not only my opinion, but also the opinion of my colleagues, that this person was hired just to make our job a nightmare. It may sound like an exaggeration, but it certainly looks that... — read more
Some Bed, Some Bath, Nothing Else
Let's see the BBB cheerleaders put a positive spin on this. Yep, the people at the top really know what they are doing. Keep telling yourself that. https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/01/30/bed-bath-beyonds-pandemic-plans-completely-backfir/ If... — read more
Hard Truth
This could get hashed and rehashed over and over. The reality is that our stores are going to continue to go downhill until they reinvest in them. Spend the money on quality people give the hours to run the store efficiently and stop micromanaging... — read more
When the 850 million line of credit is gone
What happens next when the line of credit is used up? Mark Tritton has sucked it up and it’s only been 2 years. There isn’t much left. Changing all the packaging for 8 brands and reducing inventory skus by 44% and all the other costly changes is... — read more
I have to bite my tongue
And yes, that happened too. With the best of intentions, I tried to draw the attention of my manager to some issues that are bothering me and most of my colleagues here. And you know what the answer was? The answer is that I need to think about... — read more
Don't do them any favors
Why the he-l are people still giving it their all at work? Some of you barely ever take a bathroom break and you're even proud of it? No. Give them what they deserve. Do your minimum. When they ask you to do more, say you're busy. Never stay... — read more
I guess they think this is sustainable
This is a miserable place to run away from. In my store, the situation is a little better, but I hear from others that there are stores that are so understaffed that they are now run by 3 or even 2 people who do all the work. That's terrible. How... — read more
Hours cut again
Our hours were cut again so now we have 3 people scheduled on the floor during the day. The sm hs/ss and cashier/ sup/cs. This is crazy.
This is the future
Retail has had enormous changes over the past few years. I feel for both better and worse. With online shopping it will never be what it used to be. Years back some things were sold door to door. People opened their doors and let a stranger with... — read more
Will We Actually Be Remodeled?
Our store has been notified about a remodel. Business is poor and store inventory is way down due to some supply chain issue. Anyone think remodeling a store with little inventory will enhance sales? Given market conditions will we actually spend... — read more
Here Comes The Union
Unions are lurking
They abandoned what made BBBY successful in the past
I've only been here a few months, but I know people who worked here a long time ago and who will say that it was actually good to work here. It’s a mystery to me why the company abandoned practices that once helped it grow and be successful?... — read more
Everyone here can do much better
Have you ever heard your manager say that you should be satisfied that you have a job at all? In other words, it's like someone telling you that you're not worth anything and that you won't be able to find a job anywhere else. That's how I understand... — read more
How to improve conversion
We have been focusing hard on conversion and found out the best way to impact this number. We stop everything and make sure to find out what our customers are looking for. In the past three days our conversion has improved from 40% to 75%. All it... — read more
Winter Weather Warning
I shouldn’t be surprised, but I still am. I can not believe there wasn’t any type of corporate conference call or corporate email regarding the winter weather warning. Money over safety of employees will never cease to amaze me. Early close and delay... — read more
This place is getting just d-mb
We can not do our jobs properly. We shortchange customers in the building over and over again. If I have a family member wanting to come shop there I beg them no to because I’m embarrassed. And I used to be so proud of where I worked and how it... — read more
Weekly newsletter
I've noticed the COVID count among associates has disappeared. It must be bad! Also, rated good customer service?!? LOL. Who has enough associates to give good service?
Bed Bath's New Reality
The harder the new clowns push metrics and shiny objects, the further down the grave goes. The new reality is that, without any actual leadership from the top, wannabe top and middle fakes. Who is going to really do any credible enforcement?!! No... — read more
Vaccine Mandate
Vaccination requirements now in effect, yet this company won't even enforce our customers to wear masks!!! What a joke
I don't understand
we have enough cash to run and grow the business....... but we will do additional cost savings of 100M to maintain profit ratios..... ...and...we will still go ahead with the accelerated stock buyback ...and...we just paid a boat load to McKinsey to... — read more
Receiving Dept Walkouts In Florence, SC - Something Must Be Terribly Wrong
Word is, the whole department left this week. How many? I don't know, but I know they're scrambling and desperate for help. Not desperate enough to pay more than about $10/hr. Maybe that has something to do with it?
I'm not paid enough to be yelled at by customers all day long
We used to have an occasional customer who'd be an as----e and yell at us for whatever imaginary reason but now they seem to be the default. Every day I have to deal with a throng of Karens and Chads who have no control over their own lives and are... — read more
ARE WE DOLLAR GENERAL NOW?
Maybe my store is trying out something new but how are you going to run a store 7 days a week with one supervisor? SM hasn't been seen in over 4 weeks, 2 other supervisors out with covid. Shortened hours or not, how does it all fall one one person? — read more
My store is a ghost town at night
Almost every customer asks when are we going to close the store. When I say at 9 they say no for good. I heard you are closing all of the stores.
New Year Focus
Today our store manager told us there will be a renewed focus on sales and service in the upcoming fiscal year. Once we get these stores closed and wrap up the year end, the company is going to reinvest in what works. Most stores will see an... — read more
severance?
My store hasn't closed yet, but I have no illusions that it won't happen. I wonder what the severance pay is like for those whose stores have been closed? Does anyone have info? I don’t plan on waiting for the severance pay, but I’m asking just in... — read more
How much longer will this company be around?
I wish it was different, but it doesn't seem like there's much time left. What do you think? Everyone's priority should be to find option B for themselves.
