branch management

My cousin Corinne and her husband have worked for the same company for some time now, she as a designer and he as a branch manager. Due to a recent promotion, however, (yay!!) Corinne is now a branch manager, too.

"Does that mean you're on the same level now?"

"Well, yes and no. He manages a big showroom with several designers and a whole warehouse full of burly guys and I'll be managing a small boutique store that his branch helps stock. So while we both oversee our own branches, it's like I have one little leaf he has. . . a tire swing."
