Skills gap
I am interested in experiences of those who, after spending many years here, tried to find work elsewhere in the retail industry. Did you have a problem with stale and outdated skills and how did you overcome it?
Stock $2.31 per share and falling!
"The stock market already has voted on Bed Bath & Beyond’s future. It is a penny stock. It recently traded at $2.51, down from a 52-week high of $30.06. Most of that crash started in August when its financial reports turned ugly. After that, Bed Bath... — read more
Newbies don't let themselves be squeezed
My coworkers have many complaints about the work ethics of most newbies. But should they really be blamed for not allowing themselves to be squeezed like we are? I don't think they should be.
Always keep detailed notes
I am no longer part of this company but, after a great disappointment, I can give advice to those who are still here so that they do not make the same mistake as I did: keep detailed notes of everything that happens to you here, because it may be... — read more
Being happy about Bed Bath & Beyond failing is wrong
I know I said this before but I think it bears repeating. Being happy about Bed Bath & Beyond failing and cheering it on is wrong on so many levels. I can understand that you want to "stick it" to the leadership by supporting the company's downfall... — read more
BBBY’s journey into oblivion
Shouldn’t be long now!
You care too much about the company
If this company doesn't take care of us, I don't understand why we should take care of the company. I've been indifferent to everything that happens here lately and I'm trying to find a new job. So should everyone. What do we get from worrying what... — read more
This makes me sad
Watching a company die is sad in so many ways. There's the wasted potential, the suffering it causes to people who are losing their jobs, and the greed that destroys everything. Bed Bath and Beyond was once a great place to work. Seeing it in a state... — read more
Wall Street analyst says Bed Bath will be gone by next holiday season
Scary to read about this Wall Street expert saying that Bed Bath won’t exist this time next year. Please everyone take care of yourself and your livelihood. ... — read more
Company's poor performance
Inflation certainly has a big impact, but c'mon, isn't it high time the leadership admits that they are primarily to blame for the company's poor performance?
Bankruptcy is guaranteed at this point
I'm worried that we're going to be taken one step further and end up like Toys R Us, in liquidation.
2023
There has to be a bankruptcy announcement coming right after the new year. There is no way vendors are getting paid after another abysmal quarter/holiday season. I bet 1/2/23.
This whole bonds for stock thing is a farce that gets larger with extensions.
It is like extending a Memorial Day sale into the next year. Only about 24% of these vendors have bit on this and it is basically like BBBY thinks they can get more to bite. Therefore, the offers keep being renewed, and this time it is corporate... — read more
How does your scheduled hours look week of 12/25/22 and beyond
Tis the time of year when hours get dramatically cut. yeah your store manager told you don't worry, you'll get your 35 hours, only the schedule is now showing maybe 20 or less. Oh and that severance they said you'll get for all those years you... — read more
Will World Market outlive Bed Bath and Beyond?? Is BB&B even as bad a store as it sounds??
Is Cost Plus World Market a better and more profitable brand than BB&B?? I know Bed Bath and Beyond doesn't own them anymore and I don't really have any information because they are a privately owned company. But I don't think they have been closing... — read more
I wish this place would make it past all the challenges
Unfortunately, there is less and less hope that BBBY will be able to get out of trouble. How far is the company from rock bottom?
BBBY
Looks like a new low tomorrow
Negative comps
Wonder how many December days we can afford to be under -40 comps?
Why didn't these towns ever have a BB&B store??
I know corporations cannot necessarily come and open a store in every town. There is money and resources they have to utilize properly. But I am wondering, Why didn't they ever open stores in La Crosse, Eau Claire, and Menomonee Falls in Wisconsin... — read more
BBBY won’t be around in 6 months
This holiday season should just about seal their fate. Nothing but cheap merchandise left in the stores.
Close all the stores!
Just do it. Get it over with. Put us out of our misery. I realized I've been hoping to find my store on the list of closing locations. I've gone from fearing it to praying for it. Not closing all the stores is just delaying the inevitable. Right now... — read more

After seeing closure list, I am wondering, Where are the most solid, profitable BB&B stores??
Why are the La Habra, San Jose (Almaden), Valencia, California, Aventura, Florida, Schaumburg, Illinois, Ann Arbor, Michigan, Albany and Staten Island, New York stores closing, knowing how popular those markets are for retailers?? I would think some... — read more
New 25% coupon!
Just received a new coupon for 25% entire purchase good through 12/25. Looks like it can be used multiple times. Is there anything left worth buying?

Anyone else's store freezing?
I'm just curious if any other stores are colder than usual this time of year.
Wow guys. Up to 3dollars and 40 cents per share
Real world beaters 🥹 not
Michigan Stores Closing
Ann Arbor, Muskegon, Brighton, Lansing
Sue buying more stock?
Not sure why anyone else would.
Hard to Believe
It baffles me that the people at the helm of this company drove it into such a deep ditch. There was a time when we were so good! There would be a full parking lot on a Tuesday afternoon and every register going. And weekends were crazy. But we had... — read more
Bed Bath and Beyond Layoffs 2023
Is there going to be any reorg or Bed Bath and Beyond layoffs? Any chatter, news or rumors?
Black Friday
How's Black Friday going for everybody? Are we raking it in?
Black Friday is dead
It’s a ghost town in my store. There are absolutely no customers.
It's surprising that the situation is not even worse
Vast majority of store managers have been in their positions 6 months to maybe 2 years at most since the company decided to run off most of the ones that knew what the heck they were doing ( along with all assistant mgrs). Now you are left with... — read more
In how many departments do you work?
I worked in almost all departments yesterday. They just move people around and it is not normal for one employee to be under so much pressure and stress. I wished I had never come here. Of course I will quit as soon as possible.
Final severance check
Is anyone else’s last severance check less than half of what it’s been the past 4 checks? Mine is a little more than half of what I’ve been getting.
No way to get the job done
Perhaps the manager could try to convince me that it is possible to do all the work that is expected from the employees, but I have enough experience to know that there is no way to do it all. I feel sorry for those who can't find a new job and for... — read more
