Thread regarding Bed Bath & Beyond layoffs

How much longer already?! 🤦‍♀️ I'm just here for the pay and applying to other jobs in the meantime. There is no way our numbers are right. How did we make our 5,000 forecast with 3 customers, someone is lyingg

This sounds like the clown DM in NY. Sippin all of blue koolaid

If they truly were a “family” they wouldn’t have fired me for the most mundane asinine reason!! They’re backstabers!! All they care about is money and good PR like they are the captain on the Titanic!!

Might have stung at first and less money for now sucks…but it relieved SO much stress and frustration! They dug their own grave to lie in. I have no sympathy.

"As for Spootle: glad to hear your life is so fu----g clean and stress free, sh-----d.

You must be from C suite!"

Okay, question: How do you accuse someone giving a warning about the spootie-wonkles as being some stress free member of the C Suite, when the spootie-wonkles are, in fact, the very spiritual embodiment of Stress itself? That comment doesn't make any sense.

@wry Those who think that the spootie-wonkles have anything whatsoever to do with corporate sc-m clearly have no understanding of the spootie-wonkles at all.

And that is precisely how one is doomed by the spootie-wonkles!

The spootie-wonkles do not discriminate! They do not care if you are a genuine hard worker, or some worthless corporate slush!

Never underestimate the deviousness of the spootie-wonkles!

Watch out!

"rest of US, eh?"

It would appear you do not speak for anybody else but yourself.

And sorry for the miss-type.

I meant to say "stay for the steady pay but leave for the steady pay as well?" Which is basically what you said.

@bys: where the he-l else can people vent at BBBY? You can't afford muzak, so everyone will hear.

If you think this is bad, go look at reddit.

As for Spootle: glad to hear your life is so fu----g clean and stress free, sh-----d.

You must be from C suite!

"As for the rest of us, we already know what the outcome for this company is. Stay for the steady pay, enjoy your time and have fun. If you desperately need a stable income leave this company."

Well, yeah. I left the company before it tanked as well. And if nobody was following this stream of yours, I would note that you appear to be countradicting yourself. Stay for the steady pay, but Stay for the steady pay?

May I ask , who doesn't need a stable income base?

Steady pay, eh? "for the REST of us"?

Ask the ones who are having hours cut weekly.

An a-s kisser is still an a-s kisser on a sinking ship: you the one telling the Titanic Capt. that it was no problem hitting that ice cube? If you were the one telling people to leave, why pump your worth up with this arrogance? Incongruent messaging if not schizoid. You wanted someone to hear the screed and hence you wrote it and made a huge mistake with the "get fu---d" business. The replies bear this out.

You want a medal?

I joined BB&B during February 2022 and within 2 weeks I realized that BB&B was doomed. Only a matter of time before filing for bankruptcy. If someone has been working at BB&B for years and has yet to make the same determination, then I am unable to comprehend how a DM position is remotely possible.

A good leader would not think they are creating a positive impact by remaining with their team. A good leader would be providing an honest assessment of the company's dire situation and preparing their team as quickly as possible in order to prepare for outside opportunities. If you feel that you are making a positive impact by remaining with your team and providing no direction, you are sadly mistaken. I would guess there are several members of the team that you have directly or indirectly impacted and they are remaining with BB&B, because you have stated that you will stay with your team until the end. This type of thinking will only increase financial hardships upon your team when the store closes and it takes 3 to 4 weeks to receive the first unemployment check.

So, carry on with the stellar leadership.

You can find a job tomorrow as a DM, huh? What about the DM's that have already been let go that have a tremendous track record that still haven't been able to land a job, some of which that were let go in rounds 1 and 2? You are so arrogant and confident you are that covetable you will instantly find a new job? You are t rash, that is why you are still at BBB.

i think that anyone living above the poverty line would not be able to survive on 6 months of unemployment. esp after the cobra cost. but hey, you do you.

I’m sure someone stayed until the band stopped playing on the titanic that didn’t have to.

Through all this, it is clear that one thing has been missed.

That one thing is... the spootie-wonkles!

You cannot succumb to the eternal ranting of the spootie-wonkles! You cannot do that!

There is nothing but pain and suffering to result from succumbing to the etrnal ranting of the spootie-wonkles!

Be ye whole and proud and noble, and castaway the foul spootie-wonkles!

I said, the spootie-wonkles!

Amen, dear Lord!

You on dr-gs Danny?

Here for the show. This escalated pretty quickly. Can someone pass the popcorn 🍿

“Sorry when you stick out your tongue in the end and find it's brown?“

• I am far from a brown nose and As kisser. I been posting here for years telling people to jump ship. I posted early on factual rumors about the incoming layoff when I had connections in corporate. You severely stuck in time and have a complete narrative you trying to push about me. Must be past your bedtime. As for the rest of us, we already know what the outcome for this company is. Stay for the steady pay, enjoy your time and have fun. If you desperately need a stable income leave this company. It’s going to be rocky climb up or a cluster Fck downhill.

If you know the company has no money, why are you getting a severance as a lazy mgr?

Oh, I've seen management get screwed over PLENTY of times. I've been there when they go postal at 10pm when their SM orders them to stay and do something. I've been there to see them come in for overnights.

And I have been there when they quit because they had families to tend to. Or perhaps they could see the direction this was headed as well. Now you are stuck in a no win situation where you have to act enthused. You would have to have been blind not to see this. And you really are blind when you fail to grok that many of the good people who did the grunt work on the floors and not worth a ton more than you are and you made money on their backs.

Thanks for the lesson on how retail screws people over. I obviously never knew that. /s. Actually, semi-retired and don't need or want much, and really spent 4 years PT at Bloodbath and was one of their best workers. But I never trusted the place enough to marry it. The signs were there very long ago. I never had any reason to trust the place.

All the good managers left long ago.

And are we now rating people on how much they made at retail, btw? Used to have an uncle who said he never judged a man by the size of his pocketbook. Is your arrogant a-s worth more than anyone else? We both know you are full of sh-t to put on this act. A-s li---r. Sorry to inform you that other people have morals and won't stoop so low for retail or any other work. I made money honestly and without getting a brown tongue. We all know BBBY required tickling.

I am merely saying most of our managers were not worth the money and the good ones left. Take it or leave it, or spend time cutting and pasting so you look cool.

And the bad boys thing is right. How are you going to react when you catch one anally?

Sorry when you stick out your tongue in the end and find it's brown?

“especially the latest rounds who don’t even get a full paycheck’s worth of a ‘retention bonus’“

• you knew the company has NO MONEY, right?

You were completely obviously to all the post of 2022 on this site preaching, get out!!!
You and you alone made a choice to stay while most left. What did you expect? $10k for staying on board till it was over? Most that are here that are choosing to stay know that there is no real severance package going forward. I hope you all understand that: THERE IS NO SEVERANCE PAY FOR ANYONE STAYING TILL THE BITTER END
I am staying for the easy pay and knowing I have no freight to process, put away or customers to help.

“What You Gonna Do When They Come For You?“

• bad bad boys…

Everyone know!!!
We all singing it as we are reading it.

“You know what? If you are such a "team player" perhaps you can strike to make sure everyone gets severance and not just YOU, eh?”

• It doesn’t work like that. Corporate has already decided along time ago who gets what. That goes with every Box Retail Store you will ever work with.

“I do not cotton to people speaking bullsh-t just for the sake of appearances. “

• Made no sense but, ok?

Either you over 50 yrs old making minimum wage or in your early 20s with no work experience.
In the real world everyone that isn’t management gets screwed. Life lesson here…
Work at your pay rate. In a heart beat they would let you go, you are just a # to them and will always be expendable for the bottom line.

So I guess all the employees who have gotten let go since the first wave to now were nothing??? Ppl who put in years of dedication and hard work or how about the 1,300 from NJ??? Well don’t hide behind your key board honey let us all know who you are!!! Soon Bed Bath & Gone won’t know who you are so here is a big FU to you too! “What You Gonna Do When They Come For You?

that’s an interesting take….being co--y and arrogant about ‘staying’ when so so many people that wanted to stay, wanted the company to rebound, were coldly and callously let go; especially the latest rounds who don’t even get a full paycheck’s worth of a ‘retention bonus’

i’m gonna assume you never worked here, because those of us who did sure as he-l aren’t towing the company line anymore

You know what? If you are such a "team player" perhaps you can strike to make sure everyone gets severance and not just YOU, eh?

I do not cotton to people speaking bullsh-t just for the sake of appearances. You aren't talking to anyone whose cheeks your lips have met.

I love your enthusiasm but unfortunately you are posting here. The layoff.com has become the dumpster fire information. People don’t come here for moral or corporate support. They come here to sh/t post about the company and spread false information. All post are just random posts that has nothing to do with anything credible about layoffs. I wish you and your team luck.

You'll be canned and remorseful for staying soon enough. After all, your job "won't be done", will it?

Even YOU know you put up with BS there- you admitted as much.

I could care less what you do, just don't put on this show because I'm too old to be at my first rodeo and too savvy on Bloodbath to know that "strong" is the real BS here. Just another lip service hashtag to try to endear you to C Suite.

At least C suite can save on toilet paper when they come over with you on the job!

You realize every single regional 53 put on a dog and pony show over has been long long fired, right? I guess they didn't "feel it" enough. SMs used to tremble when they came over for "visits". They trembled over nothing. They did no work, either, and were expendable.

You may take more than 6 months on unemployment if your stellar Bloodbath rep follows you around, dupe.

Let's get this straight. We only had ONE good DM at 53 and she is long gone. She was the only one who recognized good workers. I see you as expendable slackers who do very little. But at least you are not like your ASMs who watch po-n in the office all shift.

Fu-k you, too.

Someone hit the box o wine a bit hard and became a keyboard warrior advocating for a failing company. When you sober up you can breathe a sigh of relief this site is anonymous.

Silly premise. Good luck with a sinking ship. If today didn’t open your eyes….you have eye patches on.
