Hmmmm. Sounds like ST and cronies have some splaining to do
Face the Facts
Bbby is going out of business! Anyone who thinks differently needs to look around.
RVP’S
So when are all of the RVP’S going to HR and find out why ME makes 3 times as much as them in the same position. Oh wait because his last name is Eisenberg. Keep stirring the pot people. Maybe ST will find his way to the door finally.
BBB is just laughable
This is the same old junk everyday! The only changes made were you cut your dept mgrs and look st these nasty stores now. Any really good employee knows the difference and should get out and move on. I was a dept Mgr for years and yes got cut BUT I... — read more

THE INVESTORS MISSION STATEMENT
Restorebedbath.com
Part 3
Conclusion: This is a great company with lots of potential, but we have lost our way. We can get back on track but it wont be easy. The perception is that we are struggling and that managers and associates do not feel secure in their jobs. The... — read more
Stores closing!
Bills not being paid to vendors and stores closing! WHAT MORE DO YOU NEED?
Part 2
Operational Costs: If you chase margin you WILL lose sales!!! We must create volume. Grocery stores lose money on ad items all the time, but it brings more paying customers into the stores. I know we are not a grocery store but what do you think the... — read more
Dear Mr. Ceo
ST, I came upon this site as I am concerned for the health of a company I have put many years working for. I understand the stress you must be dealing with but I have ideas which you may be interested in. The return policy has been implemented way to... — read more
Somethings brewing
ST sent out a letter to associates today about the unhappy investors. There is a lot happening here that is not being told. Don’t be surprised if BBB is sold to an investment group. Feinstein and Eisenberg are out May 1st. They got their money and... — read more
A NEW BOARD????
It doesn't matter as long as ST is still CEO!! He's still running the day to day operations.
Bored of the board
Warren and Len off of the board. Well ain’t some #+.
Tax Exempt
Company or the states need to crack down. No way people are using 90% of the things they buy for the name on the forms. End that scam and pay your taxes
DP is at it again
DP just doesn’t get it, quit stepping on people to make yourself look good. Do you lack talent and intelligence to the point you gave to sacrifice those that have stood with you and gave so much. DP corporate will eventually show you to the door, you... — read more
This site allows corporate trolls to delete!
Ridiculous that corporate is so paranoid that comments are deleted to protect their chosen few, you get it?
Hiring of employees from closed stores
Does Bed Bath & Beyond give employees from closed stores a chance to transfer to available positions in other stores or do they have to apply like everybody else, with no advantage over other candidates? I'm asking because I suspect my store might be... — read more
Stores Slowing Down....
Have you noticed store traffic dramatically slowing down recently?
Only at Bed Bath and Beyond uses and abuses
Forgive me if this is a little long but it will be important to some, will annoy others and it’s truth will be known. BBB is well known to abuse it’s employees and has been for years. The products are good but can be purchased for a lower price... — read more
Bed Bath and Beyond Hope!
Sorry folks but this ship is taking on lots of water. Now would be the time to put on your life vests, cross your fingers, and hold on.
Focus!
Everyone needs to focus on their job and making the store you work in better! I am a ASM with more than 15 years in. You either learn to evolve with the times if you want to be successful, or find a job elsewhere.

Close the store in Pasadena, Texas, it’s nasty
As a former employee over 7 years ago I have seen this location go from bad to worst. The mgmt is awful and the poor associates are completely lost. I have actually stood and watched the SM and her mgr RC watch customers struggle for info and help... — read more
40 stores to close
https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2019/04/11/bed-bath-beyond-closings-least-40-locations-shuttered/3444217002/
If corporate makes an announcement be careful
If corporate tells you something believe it to be half truth, I work at corporate and you can’t believe what you are being told. I’m hold on to get separation pay hopefully.
Earnings and guidance not too shabby
Take that you shorts!
Lead associate put in 2 weeks noticed...offered .60 to stay
Here in the Midwest associates are dropping like flies. We had a 10 year Lead associate quit. The DM came in to talk to him (why do they do that)? .58 cents is a slap in the face. Why even do it? Makes no sense
Layoffs Coming???
Check indeed to see if your position is being advertised. Bbby looking for supervisors to replace asms. They never cease to amaze with such a lack of remorse or tack.
We’re stuck in our ways and continuing to do things that don’t help us make money
I’ve heard it several times - “Be lucky you have a job in this retail environment...” What they don’t realize is that brick and mortar retail is evolving and BBB isn’t. We’re stuck in our ways and continuing to do things that don’t help us make... — read more
Don't Complain or Retaliation
Don't stick your neck out and complain or raise any kind of issue against any protected regardless how lazy or wrong. You will get moved somewhere inconvenient or put on notice. DMs protect their yes people 100%. This company doesn't want progress it... — read more
The purging of management started years ago
The purging of management started years ago. Before the layoffs, many assistants and department managers were dismissed due to trumped up “safety violations”. At that point, the thinning numbers of department managers were never given an opportunity... — read more
Houston is not a Happy Place
I have never seen so many unhappy employees, these stores just are terrible. Why would customers want to shop in a store that employees (mgrs) are standing around talking about all the employees that are going to be let go and have been let go!! I... — read more
The evolution is minimum wage workers who will never see benefits or full time status
If you are getting paid at a rate outside of the pay rate yes company has set for your job you are going away if you are full time. Essentially this means you. You the worker who has been with the company 20 years. You have gotten a raise every year... — read more
There is still some hope
It doesn’t really matter if no one is ever laid off (fired) again. There is ZERO upward mobility in this company. The facts are simple. The CEO’s salary has been referred to as “the worst compensation package in the entire s and p 500”. CNBC’s Jim... — read more
Wondering if they will ever figgure out that Employees ARE the company.
They have been doing this for as long as BBBY has owned CTS. Its nothing new. But I do not think they are done laying off people. As long as this powerstruggle is going on at the Board they will continue layoffs because they are stuck in the past... — read more
Houston Market
Who’s left in the Houston market’s support staff? I asked yesterday but the thread was deleted.
Red flag for full timers
In my district, (I can't speak for other districts), they are pushing for all full timers to schedule ALL of their vacation AND paid holidays now, other wise it would be scheduled for them. Put two and two together? They're trying to minimize all... — read more
It will happen if your full time
I guess you guys still think it’s not going to happen to you. If your full time with a large hourly wage get your resume ready. BBB has to get rid of you guys, a house shouldn’t have to fall on you for you to see this! It’s coming to a store with... — read more
To what degree does the leadership want to thin the headcount?
Can’t see this being over any time soon and more waves of layoffs are a big possibility. To what extent will they go? With what numbers less than the current headcount will the leadership be satisfied and in what frame of time do they plan to achieve... — read more
