I think really, if @Maggots; got promoted or even DJ Rain when they were both heads, I don't think anyone could win as it would look like he was promoting his friends (Logan) and maybe he couldn't pick between them but I think Jazz has got the experience to go far!

;) Don't worry im on it KAPOW


and hold on a second is this thread about a rule being broken??? or the fact that other staff members are not up to scratch lool

because the thing im agreeing with is that they should at least give a valid reason to all their staff why this person was promoted and tbh should have given more time :)

Some people really don't have anything better to do with their spare time do they?

they already said that the person promoted was most suitable for the role and had previous experience, what more do you want?

edit: not that they should have to justify their decisions anyway...

Managers shouldn't have to justify promotions. There are much better things they could be doing (aka managing) than spending time justifying EVERY SINGLE promotion. That would be like justifying why every single unsuccessful applicant was unsuccessful - something which is just a preposterous idea, especially for more popular departments. But yes, 9 times out of 10 it's obvious why one person was promoted over anyone else - this being one of those cases.

Then you're not a team if you can't talk over simple promotion ideas :P You could speak to your team, see what General Management think and go from there. It seems the main problem Richie has was that there was a lack of communication, a huge problem with Habbox these days. You don't need to justify your decision, but communicating your ideas would be useful - especially when radios are meant to be effective at such a practice :)

Myke ultimately is the one who sorts out the promotion and actually I think if he sees a promotion as inappropriate he has every right to deny it and in fact should deny it. And then in that instance the department manager is also in every right to ask Matt to overrule it.

Yes Myke can overrule but generally it is left to the department manager's judgement.

We are a team but when it comes to decisions like this and who is gaining promotions it is kept secret. We can make people aware but we can't physically say who is getting it. I was always told this was a rule and that is something that I have stuck by for as long as I have been here. People were well aware in the department that Heads were being promoted as they could 1. See that heads were needed 2. I always talked about the fact I needed heads 3. The seniors knew that Head positions were available too. I had lengthy discussions with seniors as well relating to the fact and made a judgement based on my knowledge of the department and there knowledge. If anyone has spoken to Jazz she has been banging on about going back up to Radio DJ for over a month. Especially in group convos and what not and she decided to about a week ago. It got to the point I needed Head DJs two days ago because I haven't been able to focus nearly enough on management stuff because I've been doing PMs and stuff which is the role of the Head DJ. There was one suitable candidate in senior and Jazz was there and I knew what she was capable off. I made a decision that I know will benefit the department and already is benefiting the department. So what if she moves up quickly? I was a senior for 2 days before being offered Head DJ.

Do employers talk over promotions with all their staff in the real world? No. They should get the go ahead with AGMs (which we have to) and then MAYBE talk to other seniors (not necessary though).
