Obviously there’s a “back story” here. Wouldn’t it be nice if we had an intellectually curious media?

Too bad he didn’t have a bunch of My Pillows to land on.

they were ‘bringing in world class talent to offer new perspectives, expertise and experience as we rebuild our business.’
No talent can withstand a president intent on ruining the economy.

I shopped at the store a couple of times about a decade ago. My gut feeling was that it used up a lot of floor space, but simply didn’t have the week/monthly revenue to really pay for rent (they always selected high trendy places). Stock-wise, it bounced around from $15 to $25 for a long time....then hit some era (2010) where it was $40 to $60 for six years. Then it hit the 2017 point, where it was dropping every month. Whole thing is undervalued, and ought to be up for sale for a quarter of its value from five years ago.

How sad that money and status is what we live for....unfortunately, now he is “beyond”.

Ben Bath Beyond shouldn’t have pissed off half its customers by dropping the My Pillow line.

Back story is that he was probably laid off and didn’t have sufficient support to pay his rent.

Arnal moved to Bed Bath & Beyond in 2020 - when the company was already struggling due to the coronavirus pandemic Fauci got him
The Government response to COVID dictated by Fauci caused the shut down of the economy.
Trump’s germ phobia may be why he followed Fauci’s advice, but he must bare the blame also.
Trump’s trust in Pense may also have played a part in his following of Fauci’s murderous dictates. I must admit that I myself thought that Pense was a good man.
Just shows you how easily we can be deceived.
Even with all of the evidence out there huge numbers of people still believe that COVID killed hundreds of millions of people and that the vaccines saved millions. They also believe that masking up prevents transmission and saves lives.

According to the article, he still had "267,896 shares in the company, valued at just under $6.5million."

the guy couldn't live on $7 million? so he killed himself.
Sounds more like someone helped him out of the building.
