Any updates up in the NorthWest with Mission 1 looming?

Mission one is in full swing in the Northwest starting October.
You "remember" 50+ hour weeks???
That's my life every week.
The rollout of Mission One is happening differently than previous restructuring.
Instead of each region all going live at the same time, each region will have teams going Mission One at the same time.
Balt/Wash is part of round one.
SRs have been ‘displaced’.
If you are displaced your DM will try to convince you to apply for the SA position. Salary grade 3, but you get to keep your car.
Don’t do it! If you apply and don’t get the position you will forfeit any severance initially offered.
Criteria for deciding who is kept is based on geography, end of year ranking and tenure. In that order.
If displaced, you will be offered the opportunity to buy your company car.
You are not automatically offered the FTOW position, you must apply for it.
Trust no one. Make your best decision for you and your family.
Did hear that GPS phones are going away for SRs. Scary if the FTOW positions aren’t filled. It always falls back on SRs to get the job done. I remember 50+ hour weeks.
If your start seeing ads for FT merchandisers in your market, get ready because your market is next.
It will be likely a demotion from rep to full time order writers . A cut in pay and bonus structure and no car is what I would assume
Would love to hear from someone whos knows about severence for sure. Guess we wait
I doubt you will be able to keep your car our full-time orderwriters now do not have them
But will reps be offered to keep their current salary and cars to be order writers? And if not, what if we refuse?
None of the reps will get fired. everybody who does not get a position will be a full-time order writer. They will start phasing out part-time merchandiser‘s and having more full timers.
I've been offered the severance in the past, my advice is to take advantage of the market now and get a job! The severance is an absolute joke.
I just hope they offer a severance to some, would love to hear from those that have gone through the change and what happened
It’s the next change in store for us, we’re in Chicagoland are hearitit wo t be announced until January 1, 2023
