How do I edit the job roles that I've created

I've seen several people say that you can edit an employee's role, but I'm looking to edit the list of role options. Over time, several managers have made redundant roles: Bartender/barista, Barista/bartender, Bar-shift lead, Bartender- shift lead, and it's so confusing. I want to edit the list so I have one job title for each role in my business so that when I add a new employee I don't have to remember which one of these confusing and badly named roles I'm supposed to choose.

Hey @TheLiterary. There is a very obscure and unobvious way to accomplish this. You won’t like it, especially if you have a very large list of inactive team members. But, like it or not, it is what works for now.

I have tested this to be sure. What I learned is that once no team member is assigned to a role, that role is effectively deleted from your account. What that means, of course, is that you have to change every team member (active and inactive) to assign them to roles you want to use. This is further complicated by the fact that you can’t edit inactive team member — you must reactivate them, edit them, then deactivate them again.

Then, of course, once you get your roles cleaned up, you’ll need to put your managers on notice — don’t create new roles without first checking with you!
