Staff resignations

Hey,
I'm not sure if there is a rule but if there isn't there should be some sort of limit on how often someone can resign and then return. Fair enough it might not be a huge problem but it's bloody annoying to see "Blabla has resigned" then a day later "Blabla has returned" i swear people resign then return a few days later depending on their mood. If someone resigns they should not be able to rejoin a day later, if they really wanted to be staff they would take a good long think about resigning before they do it and they clearly haven't thought about it if they return a day later. It's dumb and just makes the announcements look like a load of spam.

I'm trying to win biggest moaner here, na but seriously.

That is all.

I make them wait til applications re-open. 9 times out of 10 those who resign forgot why they resigned in the first place when they ask to come back so I make them write an application to prove they aren't just coming back for the title and even then it is not guaranteed they'll get a place as proven by the last batch of applications (If I had wanted I could've filled the department with old faces who wanted to return but I always like trying out fresh blood so only hired 1 of them).

Despite that, I really think it is up to the manager to hire/fire whoever they like and while it might be annoying to those who've tried really hard to get into the department, they'd have their reasons for letting said person/people back in.

I totally agree with the first part and all managers should follow by that. I disagree with the second bit, lets be honest mike the only reason most managers let them back right away is because 1) they feel they need to or 2) they're their friends. I reckon if staff had to wait a month to return they wouldn't resign whenever something pisses in their cornflakes.

I can't remember if this was for firings or resignations as well, but there was a 30 day period in the past I believe. Memory is failing me though. If it was both, then I suggest the 30 day period is reinstated.

If it wasn't there for resignations, I think a 2-4 week period might be reasonable...or managers should just request perms but not announce for 24-36h to give the staff some time to think it over. If after the staff haven't PMd the manager rescinding their resignation, manager goes ahead and announces that, and now the staff can't return for four weeks.

Yes, the number of staff changes in the HxL and HxHD department is ridiculous imo.

If they have other commitments like the exam period, can't they go on official leave rather than resign? Afterall, it seems a few just left for the exams and didn't want to actually leave their duties so maybe you could change their title or have them change their profile to reflect if they are absent or on extended leave. It's just odd that they leave and expect to come back immediately, it's not very respectful :P

This is really annoying.. i see more changes with HxHD than HxL lol

A different fan site... I wont say the name... when u resign you have to wait 4/6 months before you can re-join the team... & you have to go through the application process & trial all over again.

4/6 months is a bit extreme, but I agree with the application and trial process.

Would be too long, a month atleast is good enough.
