Thread regarding Bed Bath & Beyond layoffs

Done? There are still people employed here that refuse to see this fact! Instead of looking for a job they are still going about their days like BBB will come out of this and doing the ra ra cheerleading of wegotthis and bleedblue.

Its done!! We can stop Bi--hing now and move on.
There is nothing we can do.

So true. When the sms were able to order for their store we knew our customers and ordered accordingly.
Greed is what ki-led the business also MT’s vision of our “own “ brand which is not the the customer wants.
It was a good run but because of mismanagement at the corporate level thousands of dedicated people will be unemployed.
Go woke and f**k the people who got you rich.

I've said this many times on this site and other threads discussing the demise of BBBY; Steve Tamares ripped the heart and soul of this company out on that fateful Thursday in Augusts 2018, firing nine hundred managers across the country. Those people were the reason customers always came back to us for their products. Customers knew they were paying a bit more even with a coupon, but they could rely on us to take care of them if there was ever a problem with the product. So Steve, was that $16 million dollars saved letting all those people go and went into your pocket as a salary worth it? Do you sleep well at night knowing your action was the accelerant to getting the company destroyed?
Oh but Amazon...so what about Amazon. I was a part timer and led our store in Bednet orders, and when customers would bring up Amazon I'd point out their return policy of sixty days to our "just bring it back" policy. He-l even when we changed our return policy to one year we were still better than Amazon!
But nope, we had to change the way we did customer service. Scrapped GOT A PEN which we lived & slept by. Totally FUBAR'd Back to College which was our bread & butter. All so some POS activist investors could Gordon Gecko the company to the point the CFO takes a nose dive off his balcony, and $900 million dollars can't be accounted for. How the he-l does any company recover from something like that.
BBBY was know for it's uniqueness. From the products we carried to the exceptional customer service not found anywhere else, not even high end department stores could touch us. Even in this day of Amazon with the right management, the former managers and our GOT A PEN customer service BBBY could still be alive today.
Moral of this story: When the company you work for gets taken over by Capital/Equity/Activist investors, get out as fast as you can because there's absolutely no career or monetary future for you.

ST ran bbb for almost 2 decades. MT ran it to the ground in 2 years. Too worried about inclusion and political correctness and fireside chats. Give me a break. BBB was a niche store not Target. The neighborhood store feel separated bbb from the others. Hate ST all you want but BBBs best years were during his time as CEO. There was a reason bbb was cheap on tech. More profit to keep people employed.

MT and SG and their minions ran this company into the ground. Pull the plug. It’s over! Next week’s lesson…. Chapter 7.

THE thing that set the stores apart from all of the other corporate retail was that was still had IN THE STORE ordering, where it was MANDATORY for us to bring in the merchandise our market warranted. NJ did NOT know every market so this gave us the only advantage we had. Once that went to "the big computer in union" as well as forcing out ALL experienced personnel (for kids off the street with zero experience and ambition) we were screwed. What a bunch of id--ts to focus on ruining that under Tritton, instead of quickly modernizing and greatly improving the online business.
