Is "eliminated" the word that I need in this sentence?

Question

------------------
The position of Marketing Manager was currently empty. It is due to the consideration that we have got Marketing Director who is basically also carrying out the duties of a marketing manager. Since 2002 the manager position was *eliminated* and the duties are taken over by Marketing Director.

Answer 1

Yes, eliminated is fine. The sentences could be changed slightly in order to read more smoothly.

There is no one in the position of Marketing Manager at this time because we have a Marketing Director who carries out those duties. The Marketing Manager position was eliminated in 2002.

Answer 2

IMHO, the following is better: "There is no longer a Marketing Manager since the position was consolidated with the Maketing Director position in 2002. All duties of the role have been taken over by the Marketing Director."

Answer 3

Since 2002 the positions of marketing manager and marketing director have been consolidated in order to reduce the type of red tape burocracy and overall stupidity caused by overpaid know nothings who so often occupy these sorts of titled positions . thereby allowing us to be a more productive company that is better able to serve our customers needs as well as our employees who actually make a visible contribution to that end .

Answer 4

Only if he was assassinated or otherwise gotten rid of in a thriller-plot manner... perhaps you should put the position of manager

Answer 5

Eliminated sounds fine! :)

Answer 6

sounds good to me

Answer 7

Perhaps you could say "discontinued" or "terminated".
