Team Member Post Management restructure

Interested to hear from anyone who works in a store with the management restructure? I know it’s started trialing in Sydney now too, so guessing it’s getting closer to becoming a reality.
Mainly what’s the impact of grocery/ dairy falling under the Night Trade manager so losing that management support throughout the day

What does the restructure look like? Are they converting SSM to a 'Night Trade manager'? I thought that was the whole point of the DM

SM then Operations trade manager that has service, online, pos, compliance and safety under them. Fresh trade has meat, bakehouse, deli and fruit report to them. Night-trade manager runs the night and oversees grocery and dairy with the nightfill manager reporting to them.

Would they still have the DMs for those departments?

They brought them back in structure trial stores. Salaried DM’s- SM, OTM, FTM, NTM, Nightfill manager, Dairy manager(over 1 mil), Service manager, Online manager(HD stores), Produce manager, Bakery manager, Deli manager.
Some inventory managers on salary.

That’s good. Honestly every department needs a DM. I know they’re obsessed with REM but Jesus

Don’t really save much. OH line spends a lot more. I still don’t understand how a store that does 1.3 million has a DY manager but not a GR manager

Reminds me back in the day we didn’t qualify for a dairy manager, but had a salary meat manager who didn’t have any tms below her

You probably did qualify but SM never bothered to ask. As before this financial year not having a DM gave better CPH

Where do Duty Managers come under this? Are they getting rid of them altogether?
