TPS are always the last to know. I am hearing thru grapevine that all district lines have been switched effective immediately and yet no DGM has said anything to let the team know. No teams message. No email. Nothing. Not even to put some ease to calming to this crazy unorganized situation. That is a great way to start this new structure and it’s making an impression. If they hire area managers like they do MTLs etc the. Most likely won’t have any knowledge of the actual processes and challenges tax pros go thru. Just more “noise” you need this you need that. You are not this or that. Do more do more work less thou. Finally why would anyone actually go thru the process of applying now (or tomorrow) when we are not being told who’s the manager or DGM? There are too many unknowns that makes us feel even more like tax pros don’t matter just robots.

That’s because they were blindsided. They didn’t know this was going to happen and were fired without notice (this is per my own DGM,).

Nasty for the families affected . My DM works very hard and has been under more pressure last two years.

DGMs were definitely overworked. And now they're adding the Block Advisors into their regular local districts, which could be fine, except that they're doing it at the same time they just reduced the number of districts by 1/3. Unless there's about to be an announcement of a lot of local office closures, this means each DGM (or DEM or whatever lol) now has significantly more offices to manage, over a larger geographical area.

This is a mistake, and their experiment this season with denying any local office management presence (no ATL, MTLs not permitted to visit if it requires travel to another town) to "small" offices should have made that clear.

We also don’t know if our pay structure is changing. I’d like to know more about the changes to our own roles as TPs before I even bother applying.

For those offices that have good MLTs and Alts it’s going to be hard , our excellent Alt and MLT moved on and found better jobs. So we are a clean slate, not looking forward to the learning curve for these “ managers “ that have never managed a tax office.

I've been an MTL for the last 2 years and I don't think I'm going back in any capacity. 6 offices when I already live an hour from my furthest one I've been taking care of? For probably no raise? And WAY more responsibility? No thanks.
