As you look inside out, you start to realize that this is the beginning of the end. Not only we are failing our customers, we are failing ourselves. We continue to dig into the same thinking, following the same people, keep doing the same things, and... — read more
Facts speak louder than fiction and rumors...
Just posted at Forbes... "But maybe it’s a new way to look at things, and maybe it allows the company to stake out a different territory in the marketplace, one not so focused on price and selection. It should be said that all of the dire predictions... — read more
In case somebody was thinking we were doing better

Layoffs after Thanksgiving?
Layoffs will happen after Thanksgiving!! Is this just a wild guess or has somebody in the know actually said something on this?
Can we benefit from Sears' bankruptcy?
I'm not trying to make light of Sears bankruptcy because I can imagine how people working there feel right now, but does anybody else think that this can work in our favor? That's one major (semi)competitor off the market, at least partially. Could... — read more
District Customer Service Positions eliminated

BBB is going bankrupt...
BBB is going bankrupt... More Large Layoffs coming this week. (Oc 19). They hire this guy to revamp the company and cut costs.. All they did was pay him 16 million to slash jobs and now the customers and staff suffer. Do you think this CEO cares??... — read more
What’s next
Stock closed at 13.90. It just keeps getting worse. Sales in my region are terrible. Analyzing the lod sheets aren’t going to boost sales. ST needs to own up to his failure and get out.
Less than a year to last....
With the trend the company is going, they will be following the footsteps just like sears. This is going to be a tuff ending of the 2018 for bbby. I’m pretty sure a lot of store leases are coming up at the end of the year or some at the beginning of... — read more

We are going the way of TRU and Sears
Looks like we are headed to become the next name on the list of failed retailers. The way this company is being run right now will only lead us into bankruptcy and liquidation. I'm not even sure there is anything left to do with this CEO at top that... — read more

I know there are a million factors that impact the stock prices, but in this case it's hard not so se the direct link between BBB’s poor performing and the decline of it’s stock. So we are in free fall, without a question. However, I can’t say that... — read more

Part timers running the stores soon
I can’t wait to see when part timers are going to be keyholders and running the stores. If you can get them to show up, that will be a miracle. At least you won’t have to give them lunch breaks so the won’t be smoking joints in their cars like they... — read more
Why doesn’t everyone see what’s going on?
If you are an employee with benefits you can bet you will be let go for some reason or another. There will be only a handful of full time employees left when the smoke clears. I just amazed how employees are hanging on saying my SM had my back, your... — read more

Ghost town
I'm part of one of the biggest, busiest stores yet the last two months have been dead. Just wanting to check and see if this is going on elsewhere? Oh yeah, what happened to the beyond plus push? That's been dead. We barely get beyonds as well.
Remodel Insanity
Bbb fired the man in charge of fixtures at the remodels. He was with the company 25 years. One by one they are being let go...who’s next?
Stock is down again, get out while you still can.
2nd quarter report is released and this stock dropped 15 percent in the after market. There's no gain in sight you're better off leaving unless this company is bought out by Amazon's and make it there new dropped of and pick up location.
Where are the Store Managers?
Now Area Managers get 4 stores but those stores don’t have Store Managers? That’s the most ridiculous thing I ever heard. Very sad. This company was destroyed by their own people, not Amazon.

Done done and done
It’s getting worse out there. The customers can’t find anyone to help them. They are pushing the new return policy to the edge. They approach customer service with guns out gloves on just to return their 10 year old toaster. The poor 8.50 an hour... — read more
Do Secret Shoppers still visit the stores??
I'm a former refugee of #1003, left after the great thinning of the managerial heard of August 2017. Went to my old stomping grounds a few nights ago, walked the track and passed multiple employees who were new to me, but didn't get greeted until I... — read more

Bad Bath & Beyond is toxic
I worked in the corporate office from 2012-2016 and it was just as horrible! It literally felt like highschool where some of the other caddy girls would gossip and tell HR “things I said” or “things they heard me say” (Just like highschool.) The... — read more
One more store closing, I'm getting worried
