Reverse management's reshuffle after married man is dismissed (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

negate

'reverse' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.

(Other definitions for negate that I've seen before include "Deny the truth of" , "Nullify - deny the existence of" , "Contradict" , "disallow!" , "Cancel; invalidate" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
