GC Dist OPs

[gctruth]

Rumor has it, that this position is being eliminated....... Makes sense......... It's a shame though, because honestly, I truly believe if they were going to elimate one over the other, dist ops mgr or dist sales mgr, that the dist ops mgrs actually do more and work harder.........  i mean honestly take a look at your avg dist sales mgr........... shows up late, leaves early, what do they really do in the store, i mean seriously they haven't changed their m.o. in years, where the dist ops mgrs are much more regimented, and structured and are constantly improving the business..........  Really, all you have to do is look at them..........  your avg dist ops managers, and ops in general going up the corporate ladder is in pretty good shape, active, healthy, improving themselves and their lives ......... where your avg dist sales mgr, or regional/territory mgr is a fat lazy bastard!! .............. good luck GC i'm sure you'll make the wrong choice as usuall .......... one of these days you will understand that all the good 'ol boys are doing is holding you back ......... i'm sure at one time, like the 80's or early 90's they had a big impact on the business ..... now ......... well i guess you should ask yourself what they are doing or contributing ........ one thing they have contributed to is that 10% loan you just took out on your business ....... that didn't happen because of your dist ops mgrs ........good luck running your biz on credit card terms and intrest rates ........ i bet that if you went dist to dist and talked to your employees, that they would share with you that they find more value and have more respect for the dist ops mgrs ..... but i don't need to tell you this ....... you already know that right .... you already know the truth .......

I haven't heard this.  Wouldn't be surprised though. When they come to my store, the DOM spends 80% of the time on his cel and the DSM commandeers the GM's desk to spend the day on his laptop.  Both scenarios keep them out of my orbit, so I'm cool with it.

I've been out of the loop a bit... is this for real?
This would be one of the best things ever.
The DOMs I knew were the biggest d bags you could imagine, with SERIOUS "honesty and integrity" issues.
I'd love to see them have to sweat a bit again, or better yet, just get the boot.
Any info from the trenches would be great to hear on this.
It's not like the DOMs actually do anything of value.
Making the DSMs "manage" Ops too, in addition to whatever else it is they do besides just repeat what they are told, has got to be legendary.

Well, at least the king of douches, Bart, got the can in the most deserving way, the effing hypocrite.
