[QUOTE="brownIEman, post: 3577400, member: 14596"] It's tough to speculate as it could be any number of reasons. All the demotions I ever saw generally seemed tied to performance issues. Integrity issues, if it could be proven in a slam dunk case, pretty much always led to termination. Most demotions I saw in my time were manager to supervisor. I can only think of one time when a division manager stepped down to manager. In that case, he was a great manager, got promoted to division and found the travel put more strain on his family than anticipated so he requested and was granted the step down back to manager. Your case could be similar, or it could be a temporary thing till a feeder div manager role opens as you mentioned, could be a suspected integrity thing but they don't have the slam dunk case to terminate with him lawyering up, could be performance. Could be he was ready to retire and they offered him a lower stress position to get him to stay on for a bit, I've seen that happen but it usually meant a move from operations to a support role.
