Theories abound.
Losing ops managers (me) and supervisors, and going back to department managers. If that happens, long as i can apply for a specific department I'll be ok, I'm the only 4dx trained manager in Scotland, and one of a handful that's xenon trained, Audio visual should be a penalty kick for me.
Losing deputy general managers. It's currently only complexity 1 and 2 sites that have them (the bigger, fancier, busier ones), get shot of them and make them apply for ops manager jobs. One one hand, fuck my dgm, it's her that orchestrated this pip bullshit against me. On the other, I'd hate to see anyone out of a job, I've nothing against her personally, just professionally. It wouldn't be that bad for the dgms, there's a few om's that are on secondment, they probably just wouldn't have them made permanent and the job would go to a former dgm.
Redundancies. Least likely of the 3. Company's making a fair whack of money just now, don't see why they'd have to. Granted, there needs to be a better use of some of their management assets at certain times, but i don't see huge reductions being needed.
All just speculation of course. Find out tomorrow i suppose....... -
Well, shit.
Getting rid of all ops managers and supervisors. Need to reapply for my job.
Outstanding. -
Fucking hell! Bad luck mate.Come with g if you want to live... -
Yeah, that sucks. Sorry man.

Jeezo. Sorry HawBaw, that sounds like a shitter. -
Bad news. Fuck it become a lumberjack.Live= sgt pantyfire PSN= pantyfire

Ouch, sending feels, like you say though you're one of the most qualified there, so good luck with the reapplication"I spent years thinking Yorke was legit Downs-ish disabled and could only achieve lucidity through song" - Mr B

They've decided to streamline the business. Lower complexity sites are losing their dgms. The ops manager job is changing to a business manager job, supervisor is changing to team leader with keyholder responsibility. Any om's currently on secondment will be assessed for the team leader job.
Regarding me, it'll be competency based, on the gm report, balanced scorecard, and where i sit in the 9 box talent model. So I'm kinda fucked. The only hope is that as the competecy is the same for all complexity levels, i should already be outperforming an ops manager from say, a complexity 2 or 3 site. Each site will lose at least 1 ops manager, lower complexity sites could lose up to 3.
I'm the only manager that's currently being performance managed, so my position in the talent box isn't good. The roles I've had in the company haven't really impacted on the gm report or balanced scorecard, as they're back of house areas (audio visual, health and safety).
If i do manage to keep my job, i dunno if I'll be entitled to paternity, as technically it's a new role. I'll likely find out either way about a month before the baby arrives.
Absolute shitstorm. -

I'd get some applications out now then. Even if you stay on (and you didn't want to), you've lost the one reason for staying.
-
true that, I'd always say to anyone no matter how mappy in their role to always be apllying, it's good practise and you might find out you're being seriously undervalued"I spent years thinking Yorke was legit Downs-ish disabled and could only achieve lucidity through song" - Mr B

On a side note, i was due a progress review of my pip today, that's stage 1 of it finished. As mentioned, i was going to suggest sacking it and giving me av back, but then all this happened.
Boss just pulled me in for a chat, basically as I'm being performance managed for a job that isn't going to exist soon, he's proposed to his boss that we sack it, or at least suspend it. He's arguing that it'll cause unnecessary stress, with baby due and the redundancies etc. Hopefully he'll go for it.
Turns out, next stage of the pip was to give me a department anyway, and he was planning on giving me av, so i could play to my strengths. I've had my differences with the guy, but fair play to him on this, he's looking out for me. -
None of that makes sense. What on earth do you do? Run S.H.E.I.L.D.?Live= sgt pantyfire PSN= pantyfire

Pip - performance improvement plan
Av - audio visual
Each manager has a specialism or department they're responsible for, except those being performance managed. -
Quality, the AM that started a week before me got the boot today. A constant source of stress since I got there. To put it simply, she was a mad fanny. Could write pages about how bad she was. The war is over. I am great. Onwards!

Thought I'd had holiday booked for today. Checked my calendar for unrelated reasons last night - shows a 9:30 start.
Maybe I've not updated it I thought. So called at 8 this morning to check, as I didn't want to trudge in to work to find I'm not supposed to be there. You're in at 9:30 they say. Arse.
And I've just had an hour long call with someone that left me no nearer to understanding the problem than when I began, and my head is absolutely battered. 6pm can't come soon enough. -
Just seen the news HBJ, that's shit man
First day on the phones for me tomorrow, 'grad bay' so basic enquiries and sales. Looking forward to it, embraced the role so far.
There's one guy there, I won't go into too much detail but he's mid 30s and Jesus fucking wept. -
And those below 28
