Thread regarding Bed Bath & Beyond layoffs

Anybody outside of this list get the announcement?

This is the list from September, these were supposed to be all the stores closing. But lately I've been hearing other locations have been affected as well. Is this true? I can't find any other list than this, though.

Bloodbath just moving stock around from closed store to open store at the moment, hoping investors will not notice them doing it and trying to avoid the huge yellow signs outside.

yeah theyre going to close at least 3 in colorado abandoing a few markets here even and of course getting rid of overlapping ones. Our store was one of them.

On a random surprise visit by our DM he came in all our stockrooms and told us to merchandise everything we had basically. And to basically spread out all our merchandise. To meechandise as if we wont get the product told me that we were esentially done receiving merchandise because we would never be told to do that. At the end of our meeting I asked if I could use him as a reference for corporate positions I was applying for, he paused looked at me and asked how I knew. Weird question to ask someone as it doesnt really fit the context of me just asking for a reference. Put 2 and 2 together surprise visit and prompting me how I knew something. He visited again 2 days later and gave us the news.

I believe they had him scout all the stores and see who could take on the merchandise and to help corporate with an exit strategy on said stores. He knew the first time he visited we were closing.

"...these were supposed to be all the stores closing."
Company has stated many times that 200 stores will be closing. The list will continue to grow till summer 2021. 🤦🏽‍♂️ So far about 110 stores have been told the bad news.
