Hundreds more management jobs are being cut at Sainsbury's in the latest changes following on from its takeover of Argos.
The supermarket confirmed plans to further integrate its head office functions at both Sainsbury's and Argos - including commercial, retail, finance, digital, technology and human resources departments.
While not giving the exact number of positions lost, Sainsbury's said it expected "hundreds" of roles would go.
Chief executive Mike Coupe told staff: "We have to adapt to continue to meet the needs of our customers now and in the future and, while change can be hard, it's also necessary."
He added: "We already have a sense of momentum across the business and can accelerate this by streamlining our structure and responding to customer needs more quickly.
"Truly integrating our business also unlocks efficiencies that we can reinvest in the things that matter most to our customers."

It comes after the retailer has already cut the number of senior leadership roles by more than a fifth since last March.
Sainsbury's and Argos have head office functions across London, Milton Keynes, Edinburgh, Manchester and Coventry.
The group stressed the job cuts are part of previously announced plans to save £500 million in costs.
