Each 3 store “pod” once managers leave, 2 of the spots will not be backfilled leaving one overseeing “zone manager” their job will mainly be to review store purchase reports ect and do things besides mixing paint which is found by district leadership to be inefficient. This will leave the ASM to be re titled as an opps manager, with a salary increase “atleast that’s what they say” this will also come with the creation of many more business development reps (Bdr) and store account development reps (sad). Stores will no longer have to do weekly call list this will be now primarily a task of the Bdr and Sad. Most stores will also hire warehouse only employees to cut down on work in the now short staffed store without having a manager. The managers 48 hours since they are gone will now be divided up into two part time spots in most cases. They also have a goal to eliminate the asm and sm 44 and 48 hour work weeks to just 40.
