Disappointing memories - that's all I got after more than 5 years working here. I didn't learn many new things that I didn't already know. I expected at least a little respect, but I seem to have expected too much. There is a constant pressure... — read more 

So many stores in Florida are about to get the shut down notice. Gary is keeping so many in the dark.

Does anyone have any pictures of the fully remodeled stores? I’m curious to see the new design concept.

How much time passes from the moment BBB announces the closure of the store to the moment it happens? I don’t need their announcement, I certainly know the store will close sooner or later (probably sooner than later), but I still wonder if employees... — read more 

I’m in the Midwest. Associates in my store whom I know are not vaccinated are not wearing a mask. Why is my manager not implementing this rule that those who are not vaccinated MUST wear a mask!

If your store has a mandatory meeting on Sunday , this is when your told your store will be closing in the next 6 months.

Are store is being renovated and is adding Harmon. Basically after ditching CTS early last year the goal here at BBB is to add more health and beauty to make us more “essential”. So with that in mind: Is there a list of stores NOT getting... — read more 

People in my store work hard because everyone hopes it won’t be closed. It will be quite sad when they announce that closing follows. I don’t like to be negative, but I know of many stores that were doing much better than ours and they are closed. I... — read more 

I don't really believe when someone says that in some stores the situation is much better than in others. Maybe the situation is only slightly better somewhere, but in general, I think it is bad everywhere, in every bbby store. It was bad in... — read more 

My store sales are up, we are hiring. Back to college set and looks awesome with all of the new product lines. Customers are complimenting the service. My manager keeps us informed about everything. Life is good at BBB.

Clarksville, Indiana location is closing. Any word on other stores not originally scheduled to close? https://www.bizjournals.com/louisville/news/2021/07/06/louisville-area-bed-bath-beyond-store-closing.html

If your shelves are empty, I’d recommend asking your SM if your location is closing. It happened to 3 stores in my district and the employees weren’t told until the liquidation date was set. This is true. Great advice from someone from one of... — read more 

They decided to increase our hiring rate by $1.50 but only to give it to anyone not making $10 yet. All the supervisors are angry as well as anyone with any amount of time under their belt. Even the SM is angry but HR doesn't care like usual. I feel... — read more 

Is it all full timers getting let go this week?

BBBY has gone downhill in the last few years. The results and morale are just not there anymore. I’ve seen bad decisions after bad decision year after year and I am always surprised at how blind management is to their mistakes. It’s sad for employees... — read more 

MT says the turnaround is working, but with missed expectations and all the actual results we see and hear from customers daily, how much longer will Wall Street give this guy a chance?

Is anyone else tired of hearing this? Don’t think it’s fair that a small store struggles and gets threatened. When a big store with more variety gets praised. How long are we going to ride this road as I am about to take a detour.

I am still trying to figure out how this company keeps id--t managers and had let go of so many full timers who knew the products, who set up displays, who are so very customer friendly, customers who knew there was someone to assist when needed. I... — read more 

I’m happy because I’m finally at a new job starting next week. I never even intended to stay here long, but in the short time I’ve been here, I’ve realized that all the BBBY stories about how little the company values its employees, are even worse in... — read more

How bad will they be? Will they be honest about how much foot traffic is down?

Any truth to this or is this a rumor…by sept they will be letting go of most if not all full timers? I can see this being done…my store has been hiring part timers like crazy!

I am starting to get worried here...we have little to no foot traffic! New things are already marked down. Receiving old things from warehouse. Down to 4 trucks a week...sometimes only 3 Hours now cut and I can’t get overtime anymore.

Of course I don’t have any high expectations because I know that BBBY exists and works only because of those at the top. Whoever thinks differently is very naive. Yet, even the worst companies sometimes pay attention to how their employees are... — read more

Has anyone gone on vacation out of the country and been forced by bbb to quarantine for 10 days when you got back? Did they allow you to use your Covid pay for the quarantine days?

The only good thing that happened to me in bbby was that I realized how much I could endure. Of course, I no longer want a job in which I will have to prove to myself how much multitasking and how much work I can handle. It's not worth it. I think... — read more

Heard there is a new list of around 15-20 coming out. Can anyone confirm this or tell us which ones?

Well the truth is about to be told. BBBY won’t be able to explain away if the results are less than market expectations. So many things look and feel wrong with BBBY that haven’t gotten worked out yet. We shall see Why hasn’t the assortment for... — read more
