Thread regarding Bed Bath & Beyond layoffs

This is nothing new in CA Asm's have been paid hourly for years because of overtime lawsuits. You just now get the choice to take a voluntary reduction in pay to work 45 hours vs the 50 that's been standard. If you want to stay at 50 hours you get to.

Cuts are coming and district staff are slowly disappearing into stores..

In my store the asms work 55-60 hours per week because we are the staff. No one ever complained because we knew that’s what we needed to do as salaried managers. Now that is all about to change. Bad move on corporates part. I hope they do right by the loyal employees who will always be there to help the store operate the way it should.

Were u listening at the door? That's nearly what the regional human resources guy told me. In our area there is no staff so I don't know where people get off saying asms leave early. If it wasn't for asms there's be nobody working we're chronically short staffed always.

It's just a matter of time for ASM's, use them as they use us.

This is just not true!!!

You all need to get your info correct....

Do you know if this applies to buybuy baby too?

The phase “work OT as needed based on business” there will not be any OT needed since this was done to cut salaries. You will now have to click in and out so Corp can track your attendance, no more going and coming late or leaving early. The SM and Ops have been given instructions to monitor closely. Ops should be watched for sure especially certain ones! The rough ride is here! Remember they did the same thing to dept. mgrs and everyone knows how that ended, we are heading down the same road, don’t trust BBB. I’ll use them just as they use me until I’m done!
