first start of consumer we are hearing; the smra sr manager role has been eliminated. sounds like at least some of them have been offered a step-down role or severance option and they have the weekend to decide. most consumer will start on tuesday and roll throughout the week

@d2 It’s not a good investment to focus on areas with low market share and share of households? Do you understand how growth works?
Agree. SMRA is not a good investment.
My smra Sr mgr posted their regular morning update this morning. Are we sure they were eliminated? Is it weird that they posted this morning after finding out yesterday they are laid off?
@ap anyone with less that 10 doors at risk
Are you certain? I heard they were redrawing SMRA lines. SMRA directors were working through things this week in Bellevue.
Any idea if Market Managers and below will get hit?
That specific unnecessary Senior Manager position was eliminated. All Rural Market Managers moving to Senior Manager title to mirror Top 100. And I would know.
@aa show some freaking empathy man, these are real people who have families.
@aa don't ignore that the ripple effects of this will touch every position in Retail above Store Manager.
Their position was literally not needed anyway. Next.
Reorg is definitely coming next week
Damn. Thought this one might happen. I’m in SMRA frontline management.
I can confirm smra directors had 1:1 with each Sr mgr this morning.
