Corporate leak!!
Corporate is taking into consideration to either keep OV merchandiser or store managers.
Store managers do not know all aspects of what an OV would do.
OV can’t do more because of their store manager restriction and pushing.
Big peeps think if there is no store manager your whole team of OV and MB can handle the business.
Tjx company is doing the same. Even though they have store managers but their store manager works like what we have today in Macy’s called MTM or OV.
Tjx divisional/district manager is kind of a store manager and they are off price but where macys is going too.
Macys is realizing this too late but yes it is in the conversations.
OV will no longer or the store managers be no longer stay tuned.
