District and regional staff teams prepare to be shocked and amazed at how vey little the Company cares about you, your families and ability to provide for them. Layoffs are coming within 3 weeks. Just in time for our ceo to tell us all how successful... — read more 

We can blame Amazon and the change in how people shop now. But BBB sells so much on the website at good prices and eligible for coupon discounts. The real problem is the amount of pilferage in the stores. Loss prevention is a joke. Half of the... — read more

In the Midwest, most of the veterans are gone. Whether it be lay offs, transfer denials, pushed out, transferred to far stores to inconvenience you, Bbb is the best at getting rid of you. They will find a way. If you have benefits, look out!

I would hesitate to count on a severance package because bbb will put some hourly ASM’s on pip so they can let go without paying them. This is the position of bbb since they have had so many lawsuits filed against them, this is their way out, screw... — read more 

I would appreciate any inside info in order to plan my next venture

There are no big layoffs planned. Just because there was one, doesn’t mean there will be more. Not all the sales come from within the stores. The warehouses need staff too! Same with the call centers! Come on people. You all act as if the place is so... — read more 

Not!!!

Rumor has it that the ops managers will be the first to be let go then soon after the side assistants . The company will save a ton of money by having just an sm and sups run the stores.

Budget hours for payroll dropping to 40-44 depending volume. Associates will be relocated into other depts or let go. Anyone else with any additional info please comment on thread.

Does anyone really know what is going on? Everyone is walking on eggshells. Some of the district staff is going to corporate. Morale all over is super low

Was just told this morning that there will be a huge reduction in hours for SWS HBC departments. Most tasks like freight, recovery etc will be now the responsibility of the store. So instead of 150 hours I’ll have to run on 44. I have no idea how... — read more 

Do you need a rvp who tells the regional who tells the dm who tells am who tells the sm . I see a lot of positions that are not necessary. Cut the dead weight from the top. Get those hours back to the stores.

The stores still have loyal customers. The return policy is changing and will be like every other retailer and really not bad. The beyond membership is good. There is not a lot of push back on the 2.99 shipping fee for an order under $40. Change the... — read more 

I don’t work for BBB, but I worked for Harmon’s before you bought them. I can tell you this. The c-ap culture you all experience stems from the leadership you inherited from Harmon’s. Years ago. I started with them when they had 26 stores and when I... — read more 

KL was a great manager and DM and now BBB let him go! Hope BBB dumps in the tank.

I was one of the lay offees in the Chicago market and it was the best thing that ever happened to me. Better job, pay, PTO and people. God was looking out for me. Get out while you can people. There’s a world of jobs out there.

Sooooo our SM always works a 6 to 4 shift even on weekends...never closes because she has a baby...so the rest of us without babies pick up the closing and mid shift detail. Does not seem fair at all. Why not addressed??? PV and HT and BB????????... — read more

First off, whoever posts that any managers upset need to move on should look where their loyalty lies. Bbby has misclassified managers for years, made salaried managers feel they would be fired or put on a PIP if they did not work very very long... — read more

Be careful signing anything from this company as they are changing ASMs from salary to hourly. They made the managers laid off in 2017 sign saying they could not sue. The company has been in the wrong and will do anything to avoid paying you what you... — read more

Here’s the truth - an effective manager should be able to get his or her projects done in a 50 hour work week. The Company knows this. The Company at the same time is continuing to slash hours in the store to save money. Not enough ASMs were staying... — read more

Got a really bad feeling about every asm going to start punching like an hourly associate. They had the department managers start doing that then eliminated their position and had a huge layoff. This is not the way to save the sinking ship.

Just got the scoop that they rolled out in my area. ASM's will the be paid their salary wage based on 55hrs of actual work (with OT figured in). This means a schedule of 60hrs minus breaks & lunches. Also offered was a 47.5 HR wk but pay per hr would... — read more
