Good news for those that work at the busier stores around the country: Global has announced that combining teams in stores that are in the over $650k/week group (average sales over $650,000 per week) has been postponed indefinitely. Of course, they may decide to do it later, but at least you won't be going through that horrible mess anytime soon.
It is full steam ahead for combining stores with sales less than that, though, and it is already happening in some regions. I don't know how that breaks down exactly, but I would guess that more than half of all stores are looking at getting combined.
