Talked with my Block buddy today. After she filled out her application on the Internet she got a call hours later from the DM asking her to please come in.
She made an appointment & was told due to the decrease in returns last year her job as OM was gone.
She could have the OC job for $80 less per week, & have to write 100 returns. She would also have to attend SFS training 3 hours a day for 3 days a week for 3 weeks.
That finished it for her. She might sign on as a preparer. 7 years as an OM and the Thank you is a pay cut to come back and do the same job?

Guess the cut backs have started.
