Why?
W2
Does anyone know who will be sending out W2’s for old BBB employees? ADP no longer works for me and others who worked there and hoping there is a plan for these to be sent out as usual.
Congratulation
Those who said Bed Bath & Beyond would be gone by 2024, you won. I was one of the naive ones who honestly thought we'd pull through. When my store closed, it was not exactly a shock but it was still something I believed we'd avoid. Here's to moving... — read more

Job search

Medical Insurance
Has anyone received any paperwork stating benefits ended on 7/31. I can't get on another insurance without the paper. I called the benefits number and they say we are all still active.
Is there still anyone left at the company?
Corporate was let go, all stores are closed and emptied, and the brands and website belongs to others. Is there any one else besides a couple of real estate guys, a few to do final accounting, and the lawyers?
401k
Is everyone locked out of their 401k account. I was told that BBB told Empower not to let employees move their money into another account.
How could employees be so gullible to think this dump would survive?
All you needed to know was that the company was not paying rent at its stores during the COVID shutdown to grok that the place was in a death spiral. It had no money to pay the landlords to warehouse goods, pure and simple. Did most of us know this?... — read more
