Thread regarding Bed Bath & Beyond layoffs

It’s their attorneys. At this point it doesn’t matter if your area is a shelter in place. They’ve gotten the approval to have the operational tasks completed. S—s

If you are in a state in which BBB is violating the stay at home/ shelter in place orders, report them to your attorney general.

The dishonesty that is going on right now is disgusting. All the different versions of what may or may not be offered, what you may or may not get next week, are you able to work while the county/state is on a stay at home order?? You are losing all respect with your associates and managers. If you were honest from the start, I’m sure you would still have the same amount of people working right now but they would still respect you. Instead you have people working in closed buildings out of fear of losing their jobs. Your workers care about their company and their customers yet you have showed them how little you care about them as essential workers. Shame on you.

All we are doing is resetting for spring guide no truck. Customer orders were for non essential items. They lie like they care.

Here's a thought for your thought! Most DM's and RM's woundnt even know how to run a store these days as these good old yes boys have not been in a store for many years!! They are not respected as they could care less about the Associates or Managers.

Here's a thought...if the DMs want the stores to be there fulfilling CDS orders and whatever else...then YOU come in and do it! If there ever was a time for DMs and RVPs to step up like this, it is now.

SMs got a "your eyes only" document stating they were not to broadcast to any FT associate they would get paid for the next two weeks if they requested it. They are letting associates just come to them and if they request it they can have it. Such a shady business practice! Why not offer this to everyone rather than run this "under the table" stuff? Everyone else is left wondering "will my job be in jeopardy if I ask for the same?" This is the way they want it to work to ensure orders get filled and tasks get done! All under the guise of, "we care about our associates!"

I think bbb and any other company that does this should face fines. Plain and simple NOTHING matters to bbb except $$. Once you fine them, watch how fast this nonsense stops. Otherwise the RVPs and esp DMs who only see money will continue to dictate this kind of c-ap. Cancel the trucks nobody is buying anyway duh, send people home already. Nobody wants to be there risking theirs and their family's lives for you.

I was told the same garbage also no idea what they are trying to do by making this statement they gave me a piece of paper that allows me to travel to work to process non essential items the claim are essential

SE Region

What district do you work in?

This is accurate bed bath does not care about its associates welfare at all they refuse to shutdown and try to hide from paying employees buy giving them this ultimatum of u can work and get paid but if u decide to not work u will still get paid but not sure the next weeks pay or problems that could occur the question was asked if ur paying for this weeks regardless then why are you telling me to come in and if i work this week does that pay go to the following weeks they said no a whole bunch of bs no idea what they are doing we need to consult lawyers immediately .

Very well said. What's happening now is disgusting.
