Other companies are spending billions to expand their infrastructure and future-prep their businesses. BBB is still clinging to its “We have to beat Amazon, but we don’t want to spend any money on it” policy. Beyond+ and charge cards aren’t going to... — read more
Changes Ahead?
I know lots of insiders visit this site. It's anonymous so just curious if anyone has insight into what staff related changes may be ahead at store level. Not names obviously, just in general.
Bed Bath & Beyond Bankruptcy
This is totally my gut but here is 2 cents on Bed Bath & Beyond Bankruptcy. We will be bankrupt in about 18 months. They (execs) will try do do a few extra tricks but overall, there is nothing transformative in the approach and at some point we'll... — read more

All district needs to go they are lazy sit in the office and watch the managers/ supervisors run around like crazy you think they would get off there asses to help nope they pick up the phone and page you to the front or better yet they walk the... — read more
The writings on the wall
There are several retailers looking for seasoned managers and they pay well. I know this because I left bbby and am currently working for one. Dust off your resume and move on. Im glad I did!! Bbby is below 9.00 a share. Morale will never be the same... — read more
Mixed messages
So now stop pushing the beyond plus. Ask for email sign ups. Morale is ridiculous low. We are losing really good people because they know we told them you will never get an increase. You are at max for your position. One day is push beyond plus next... — read more
Dm upstate ny
Upstate ny will be reducing dm’s by the end of the year. Buffalo /Syracuse area
Part of the Retail Meltdown

Loyal customers
Our customers are still signing up for beyond plus even though it costs more now. They have accepted our updated return policy. Now we need to get the moral back. Everyone is waiting for the ax to fall. Losing a lot of good people because of the... — read more
LAYOFF August 3, 2017
Well it’s been 2 years since I was one of the department mgrs laid off. It’s been 2 years that has had many surprises, all good ones I must say. To my surprise the same SM and his sidekick OPs Mgr are still running the Sh..t show. The store has... — read more
So many layers!
Why are RMs even needed? Or DMs for that matter. They all forward the same email information like it's their idea when they are just parroting information from someone else anyway. Company is still so bloated with Regionals and Districts it's... — read more
$9.00 a share and falling
See newly posted CNBC video on why Bed Bath is facing extinction. Be sure to thank your RVP and EVPs for running the Company into bankruptcy.
Something I overheard
To anyone with knowledge of internal BBBY forms... Overheard a mention of preparing a form 1072 concerning an employee. I thought this was a termination, but after asking someone who was ops for MANY years about this, they have NEVER heard of... — read more
Will the stores be hit next?
Can we expect even more layoffs on store level? I wouldn't be surprised if we were next...
When Will The Ridiculous Repurchase Of Stock Ever Stop?
Billions flushed down the toilet. They could have kept every employee let go with that money and also could have invested in technology. Employees don’t even realize how this one extremely STUPID repurchase program sunk the ship. I wish one of the... — read more
Stop denials, the end is near
All of you guys that thought things would turn around you knew better!! It’s almost over, the end is near and the employees that are left know that!! Poor leadership is the main reason, BBB laughed at Amazon, they are not laughing now. I do hope... — read more
Morale
How are we expected to keep morale up when the axe can fall again at any time, on anyone left. Only made worse by the now frequent customer calls or comments asking if/when our store is closing.
THESE CHANGES ARE A GOOD THING!!!!
Retail needs to change with the times... and having these old time higher ups with no new trendy ideas was causing the hold up. It will take sometime but I see a light at the end of the tunnel now. 🤞🏼
Who Is Getting It Worse?
Employees or Shareholders???
MASSIVE LAY-OFF IN CORPORATE TODAY.
BBB just had a press release they eliminated 7% of corporate staff in NJ. The president and COO Eugene Castagana was eliminated. An estimated savings of over 18 million this fiscal year. What a day for corporate staff- this also includes... — read more
PIP
Just wondering how many ASMs and SMs are on a Personal improvement plan?
No more full time RTV and IC associates
Hours for both positions being cut from full time to part time. It started with lower volume stores and now it's spreading even to A volume stores. Cashiers will now process RTVs at the front end, and you know what's been happening with the No Ticket... — read more
Look at the stock price!!!!
75 Hahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
BBBY Stock Prices
$10.43 a share is a 10 year low. How bad are things going to get before any meaningful changes take place?
Where are our settlement check?
Does anyone know when we will receive our settlement checks? From overtime lawsuit?
Credit Card
How many are excited to start pushing our credit card?
The grass is greener
I got a new job that pays better. Dont waste another moment
ASM manager's cap pay?
Anyone know of what the cap pay for ASM's? Its coming sooner than you know it !
Beyond+ price increase
Next month Beyond+ membership will increase to $39. If stores struggled to sell at current price, why increase it??
Lawsuit letters
The overtime lawsuit letters are out.
Ops manager canned
Ops manager fired for safety violations in Midwest. Associates snapped pics.
Bed Bath bought this site
Only explanation for almost zero posts here now. How did they pull that off when stock keeps free falling to now under $12???
Hours
Cut again!! Our store is hardly functioning now and they cut our hours again. Getting myself prepared for more complaints about there being no help in the store....
No News?
Seems super quiet in here of late. ???
Works like a charm
If you are a high paying ASM and are getting written up all of a sudden, take a medical LOA, go on short term disability if you have it. A few people have done it and that buys them enough time to find another job.
My Store is closing
My store scheduled to close! West region. Stock 12.02 after hours trading. Not looking good. Layoffs will come, the question is when?
Store closings?
Has anyone’s store announced that they will be closing? I haven’t seen or heard anything but I would assume that if your not getting the little upgrades going on you’re set to close. They usually announce soon for fall closings, since they don’t plan... — read more
