Protocols not being followed

As it says in the first post, the guest DJ role was discontinued.

I chose the latter option and put the rule in place in the hope that someone would 'cross over' and effectively make the extinction of guest djs quicker. While it did not work out the way I had planned (the idea being that they'd be a regular dj for a while before getting promoted), it still did the job it was supposed to do.

Well I'd like to think any rules enforced within the site are thoroughly discussed between management before putting them into affect. So no, I didn't know the reasoning behind it but I'd assume you wouldn't have enforced the rule without good reason. Either way my argument still stands, the rule shouldn't have been abused in the way that it was. Besides, what's the difference between being promoted from a guest dj to a head dj? your plan still would have worked effectively.

No rule has been broke so I don't understand why you're complaining?

I used to think that it was unfair when x got promoted over y since y had been there longer but now I think that it shouldn't matter as long as the most suitable person for the role was promoted. If that's the case (and I'm guessing it is since the person in question has been in this role before) then why does it matter?

richie you don't even work at habboxlive anymorewhy are you crying about something that no one but andii agree's with you on. It was the best decision in the case of this (even if a rule was broken which everyone's saying it wasn't so idk where you got that from?) would you rather someone else who is crap being given the position of head dj and waited a few weeks before you complained yet again about hxl is failing.... she gave the right person the job because she is trying to change the department around, so what if she was only there for four days again....

Someone could of been there 4 years and could still be crap (wont say any names) where as @Maggots; has proven she is capable of the role and I believe will do a fantastic job as previously demonstrated in the past, doesn't matter how long shes been there

What could be learnt from this is simply informing your department that you are looking for an assistant or new Head DJs and discussing it as a team. Presumably the Radio Department are quite close knit (or should be as they usually are), so constant communication between the Manager, Seniors and lower-tier staff would make it easier for everyone to stomach decisions and understand the rationale, as it seems Richie wasn't informed of why they were chosen and the decision was kept quiet from a large chunk of the team, when really these sorts of decisions should be out in the open and not secretive.

We are arent allowed to discuss this with the team, anyone will tell you that, i can discuss with general management and other Hxl managers but there is only little old me so i spoke with generał management.. i was always told this progressing in Hxl and everyone knew i was looking for new heads i was always banging on about it

She shouldn't have to justify herself though, to her staff anyway. If the AGMs had an issue with it, she would have to justify, and I'm sure they've spoken to her, either before she chose the heads or after.

Thing is, I was assistant news manager within 3 (maybe 2?) months of becoming a news reporter before. @Samanfa; picked me because I'd been senior before and I knew how everything worked - nothing to do with our friendship. This situation is exactly the same. I'm sure everyone would be more than happy to moan in a few weeks time if Jazz wasn't promoted because neither of the heads really knew what to do. This way, Jade can carry on settling into the manager role, making changes to help the department (that was quite frankly struggling before) and not having to spend all her time settling in 2 new heads who don't know what they're doing.

Yeah I hated you when I promoted you ofc ;). Nah I joke, not only that you were the best for the job at the time sorry @Grig; you were another manager and I me being two managers either :P (plus I don't think you'd have taken it ;)).

Anyway yeah I agree with Laura, consider Jazz has helped do The Valentine's Vault with Logan, Habboxween Events with Jade, other things such as win a rooms you name it she's probably helped a lot more; she's been there longer than Jade and has seen it progress, Jade has her reasons to promote her and rightly do so. I still stand by my view on previous roles such as Nicola as opposed to Catzsy, and more. I'm sure we'll see an improvement in Habbox Live.

Exactly. Even if people are that upset, I'd rather Jade promoted someone she can talk to and work really well with that someone that she doesn't like (not sure there's anyone Jade doesn't like mind you LOL). I was kinda surprised when Jazz wasn't offered the managerial role to be honest, she definitely deserves it after everything she's done.
