After a bad experience at BBBY and before that in other retail companies, I really want to leave retail and find a job in another industry. Any tips on how to get out of retail? Does anyone who has escaped this industry have an experience to... — read more
Fired for being on this site
My time at BBB is done. I was fired today because I posted information from this website elsewhere. It Violated their Social Media policy I guess that’s why they call this place the LAYOFF. Thanks. I’ll see myself out. To the rest of you I leave... — read more
Company finished after the holidays
Essentially it’s finished now but the final nail will be end of December (if they’re lucky)!
Wish things were different
If you work in a store like I do you know things are bad.....sales, terrible instock position, traffic and turnover. Sad to see. Good luck to all of us.
The writing is on the wall
I hate that it's true, but I don't want to live with my head stuck in the sand. Everything that's been happening to us has happened before to Sears and look what happened to them. Soon, the same will happen to us as well. I don't plan to be around to... — read more
MFT going going GONE
Another bites the dust!
Seasonal Hiring
Is anyone getting enough hours to actually start any of the seasonal hiring? First week of Period 9 is pretty much the same as we've been getting each week. When do they expect us to hire and train? Week of Black Friday?
The remaining closings
What are the chances that the remaining closing will happen next year? We haven't heard anything for a while so I'm starting to hope that's a realistic possibility. The holiday season is coming up and I'd like to be able to relax and properly enjoy... — read more
Move On
I just want to say that I was a SM and with the company for nearly 15 years. I’ve moved on and find that I’m more relaxed, work less hours, make more money and am overall happier. There is a life after BBB. It took me a very long time to find the... — read more
Pricing
Why are we taking the same stuff on and off promo every week. Kitchenaid electrics go up and down literally every week. And we have to print 40+ signs and labels ?? Just give us a single sign to put out! Have to print a sign for every size and... — read more
Constant stressing is ruining my health
My blood pressure is through the roof and I haven't had a good night's sleep for longer than I can remember. I need them to get this over with or I'll have to start taking medication and I would like to avoid that if I can. I've been trying to find a... — read more

I left a bit ago after a long bbb career. I'm seeing more and more long timers leaving every day almost. Just wondering, for those of you full timers that are staying, not looking for anything but really rely on an income for your families? What are... — read more
Bags
We cant even get shopping bags delivered!!!! I'm hearing they havent paid the supplier. Its beyond embarrassing at this point.
What a cluster F**k
I was a Store Manager for 8 years before leaving a couple weeks ago. Prior to BBB I was at Kmart for 5 years as a SM. Over the past couple of years I was seeing similar parallels with both companies. But over the past few months the deterioration was... — read more
More people are leaving
The management is happy to see them go. They're not even trying to backfill their positions. This makes me think our store might be among those slated for closing. Not that I care. I've been going through the motions for months. If it happens, it... — read more
File for Bankruptcy it's over

The Outsiders
Take a look around at the nitwits running this company. They came in brought their worthless friends in to ra-e what's left. It's sad they no nothing about BBB and what made it a destination shop. Promotion from with in the stores network no longer... — read more
No need to live with uncertainty
I recently spoke with a person who apparently plans to stay here until the very last day, until the company gets rid of him. That's so sad. I understand the arguments that jobs are no longer secure anywhere, it is impossible to expect a long term... — read more
Another example of how much they don't really care about us
The way the company reacts in the case of life threatening storms is a big disappointment. They claim that they care about our safety, but the reality is completely different. Run away from here asap!
Another Quarter Another Negative Sales Report
How much longer before they officially file Chapter 11? Everyone knows it's coming.
Severance
Does severance pay stop when you find another job?
Payday?
I have a pending BBB deposit, but for an amount not equal to 2 weeks of pay, more actually. I was told we’d be getting the severance paid every 2 weeks. Has anyone else gotten their 1st severance paycheck??
Being a meme stock will not save BBBY
Everybody seems so excited about the 0.16% raise yesterday as if something like that can make any difference. BBBY is done. We are beyond the point of bankruptcy and entering liquidation waters. No amount of Reddit investors artificially propping the... — read more
TELL DMS and SDMS TO STFU
Cheerleader mallrats are not necessary during a bankruptcy they need to be ignored because they will soon be gone unless they know how to ring
Are we closing
Not receiving freight on our main truck day I know it’s been down to almost nothing but not nothing. Use to get 24 pallets a week down to 9 pallets and now nothing. Does this happen before they tell you that you are closing?????????????
Hurricane Ian
How is BBBY responding to stores in the hurricanes path? Is there a procedure to check in safe for employees? Will stores temporarily close during the storm? Will BBBY be sending pallets of water and other necessities for customers to buy after the... — read more
Decorist has shutdown operations.
Worthless acquisition in the first place
Threadery is the answer?
So nothing drives sales like an overpriced out of reach owned brand. This is quite likely the last of the end times here. Turnoff the lights on the way out
I've become indifferent
I was constantly stressing about layoffs and closings but that has changed recently. I can't pinpoint the reason for it. I just woke up one day and I didn't care anymore. I guess things being dragged out so much made me numb to everything. It's a... — read more

I hate not knowing!
I hate not knowing if my store is closing and I hate that I'll have to wait for who knows how long to find out. Our managers are claiming that they don't know anything either, so they're no help in alleviating our worry. For the life of me, I can't... — read more
Cobra? For those laid off
Cobra is outrageous. I was under the impression that BBB was covering part of the cost, a subsidy. In my packet it does not list a subsidy. Does anyone have a subsidy?
A bankruptcy thought: where would it leave employees in payment line?
There are rumors on investment sites of an "inevitable bankruptcy" and something called FILO- First in , Last Out, in terms of the $375 million loan. . What this may mean is that the company that gave BBBY the lifeline would be the first paid if loan... — read more

BBBY Reputation Effects
We don't even have to talk about BBBY's reputation, everyone knows how bad it is. However, what interests me is whether this bad reputation of the company affects the people looking for a new job? Does a few years at BBBY look too bad on a resume? — read more
Running out of things to sell
Anybody else running out of things to sell?There are things people want to buy but we're not getting them in time or at all anymore. I can't figure out if this is because the higher ups have decided our store needs to be closed or if this is the case... — read more
