1) Since this is status quo budget, headcount needs to roughly match to where we are at this quarter, only approved replacement heads should be added on top of existing.
a) Travel dept status quo needs to be team of 9 (down from 11)
b) HR dept looks too high, status quo can be max of 6 (Beam has resigned & her role is not being replaced)
c) Retail: Rows 279 to 284 should not be included in status quo budget, should be part of separate Retail growth budget. replacement Retail Planner should be classified as Retail Sales, not Retail Ops
d) MS dept has too many heads. Has Earn been removed? I think I only approved his replacement, but the file seems to have 2 new heads?
e) We need to add back a budget for re-allocated headcount (all the restructured staff that haven’t yet been replaced… 1x mkting director, 3 x MS, 3 x lead gen / yield, 2 x sales trainer). That budget won’t necessarily go back to those departments, so can we just add
