What a slap in the face.
the ultimate meme stock...
so what options are at the Chief Executioner's disposal now? break up the company? saddle on more debt and more share buybacks? close even more stores? stop all the renovations? spin off the digital business? layoff 100s more and ask the remainder... — read more
More closings
There are more stores on the closing list .....that will close by February. And the new year starts off with a bang!
This company is trash
Management behaves as if they are running one of the most successful companies in the world, leadership thinks they are making great moves and they are all doing well except the employees who make it all possible for them. Why is the situation not... — read more
Why is HR so passive?
I understand that HR is only here for the company, but c'mon .. It is in the company's interest to have the best employees here and to be productive. What is happening is that some great employees cannot reach their full potential because they are... — read more
Why buy it when you can just take it?
People are getting bolder with their thefts. The looters who smash and grab at night must think non-violent shoplifting is their day job. When is this company going to get serious about shrink? Other retailers are starting to clamp down on the theft... — read more
Stores Are Done For
What do you spend most of your day doing? Fulfilling orders. Bopis. Not servicing walk-in customers. As was MT’s brilliant plan. Once the company gets itself together with warehouse infrastructure the brick and mortar will be gone. IF they can get it... — read more
CNBC interview news release on 11/30/21
Anyone see the CNBC news release of the interview with CEO MT? You would of thought the self promoted MT wore a cape by prematurely taking honors on turning BBBYs business around. What a joke. I think it was just a maneuver to soften the pending... — read more
My manager is a nightmare
Nothing he does is professional. I still can’t believe such people can become managers. It's as if no one controls that person, that's how he acts. To do a poll with all the great people who left here, I believe bad managers would be at the top of... — read more
sinking ship, people disappearing
more layoffs are coming. Jan 2022 will be tough. find another job people.
This is d-mb
I’m not sure what they expect to happen here. We have no one to help people that are actually in the store and those that we do have are on bopis and cds. This is absolutely stupid. I have worked here a very long time and I have NEVER seen it this... — read more
What a comeback!
Today was incredible. Busy throughout the day, lots of satisfied customers and great teamwork from everyone. Our SM said it was one of our best Black Fridays ever! And many stores were having great results. Hope everyone had a great day and gets... — read more
The worst Black Friday ever?
Some of you have been here much longer than me so you know better about it, but I can almost say with certainty that BBBY has never had a worse Black Friday. It's a real chaos and shame for the company. Admittedly, I didn't expect it to go any... — read more
Black Friday Coupon
I just got the text for our 25% off Black Friday coupon. I’m sure millions and millions of others just got theirs too and are planning as we speak! This will drive tons of traffic into our stores and tomorrow will be amazing. I can’t wait!!!!!! — read more
What Were They Thinking!!!
I don’t understand the logic here….but they completely under bought on most of the staple items that people come in for…electric blankets…toys…the list goes on. And all this early Black Friday sale stuff has run at least my store down to single digit... — read more
Wage discrepancy
Explain why a lower volume store 15 minutes away starts 2$ an hour more for a cashier. They wonder why employees are bitter There are employees who have been at our store for 10 years who are at less than this other store
Temp key holder
Do any other stores have temporary key holders? We have 3 part timers that were given keys as temporary key holders…are they going to replace the real key holders in the building? I’m worried I will be replaced with one of these teens who now have a... — read more
Do they even need new employees?
It seems that they are doing really badly with hiring new people, which is understandable because no one wants to work here. I won't be here after the New Year's either. ,, However, I think that BBBY doesn't really have much interest in hiring new... — read more
I wouldn’t even like to be a manager here.
If I don't leave before Christmas, I will leave immediately after. I wouldn't like to stay longer in this company, even if I was in a higher position. Simply, everything here has become so miserable, that I believe it is no longer a good place even... — read more
Severance
How come some people have lost hope for severance pay in case the store closes? Am I missing something?
Bed Bath and Beyond Layoffs 2022
If the market makes a turn soon, do you think there will be Bed Bath and Beyond layoffs? Any chatter, news or rumors?
Hours
Does anyone know if we will start getting more hours soon? I started two months ago and got about 16 hours the first two weeks, but then they went down. I don’t know if it’s because I missed some days, but those couldn’t be helped and it wouldn’t... — read more
The delusion is real
Anyone who thinks this move is to get BBB back into the mainstream go-to-store footprint is a fool. As is there is no reason to even venture in to a BBB store, the foot traffic present day validates this. So how is it the cheaply made for BBB... — read more
Pay day??
Why did I get paid today? It’s always Thursday that payday I know the one round of layoffs the people got paid before they were let go Anyone else get paid today?
People are wasting time here
I understand all those who are waiting for their store to close, because it is hard to expect that something better will happen here. Most of my colleagues are depressed and have no enthusiasm for work. However, isn't waiting for the store to close a... — read more
I Can’t Wait!
I can’t wait to see what it is going to be like when the holidays increase the precious foot traffic like they always naturally do. When you have 1 cashier and MAYBE 1 person on each side…maybe….it’s going to be a nightmare. The stores are in no way... — read more
They have no idea what they're doing
The store managers and DMs literally do not know enough to make sales goals and targets. They just choose arbitrary numbers that sound good and scream and yell to push towards a goal. E.G. conversion. My DM at the time kept pushing for 50%... — read more
Don’t Be Fooled
The Kroger deal serves to enrich the shareholders. To prop up sales. The store traffic will slow further if customers can pick up their milk and a USA pan at the same store. Our jobs are not saved by this deal. The endgame is near.
At least they're trying
I like to give props where props are due. For too long the management did absolutely nothing to improve foot traffic, quite the opposite. They kept cutting people and hours so that customer service continued to suffer for years. At least this deal is... — read more
new deal
genuine question, is this Kroger deal actually a positive for us, or is it just the beginning of our stores closing, and our owned brands moving into Kroger stores, helping our execs stay rich? i've been here too long to separate my cynicism from... — read more
Stock soars
Stock shooting up! Never count out BBB! We ain’t done yet…let’s go!
Of course they're still here
It really pi---s me off that we keep losing good people to stupid cuts when there are still plenty of managers who, to this day, do nothing but sit hidden away from view all day and do who knows what and then show up and complain about how the entire... — read more
Stock
How low does stock have to go before it’s pulled from the stock market? Bbby gets lower every day.
Being Taken Private
This company is ripe to be taken off the stock exchange. Private equities already own much of bloodbath, it’s only a matter of time before they sell everything off to line their pockets.
So many better choices
Apply at Costco, Target, IKEA, Trader Joe's, Aldi... There must be one of these around you! Dump this place before it dumps you.
Baby store closing
https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.hometownlife.com/amp/8511700002 The lack of consistent direction has been ki----g us for years.
goal setting
i'm so glad corporate wants the stores to start setting goals to complete. on my list, i'd include: having employees in stores; not having our main deliveries be outsourced to independent contractors who show up whenever they want and don't take... — read more
Why didn’t they say that when they were hiring?
I just want to check with you, was anyone told when you first came to this company that you would be doing almost all jobs other than the job you were supposed to be doing? I understand the importance of teamwork and flexibility, however, I don’t... — read more
