I'm just curious, seeing as I don't visit that often anymore and when I went onto the staff list right now it said:
Content Designers
Content Staff (Graphics)
Content Staff (Writers)
So are these three all one department now?
I don't see why you are changing the title 'News Reporter' to 'Content Staff (Writers)', because these people solely report on news, rather than write content in the general sense of the word :P.
news is content, they write the news?
content "designers" were writers too
I dont think we can say much on the matter at the moment. More will come clear.

I tried to PM you Grig, but you have too many of them. News and Content are different styles of writing.
And if these so called writers have to write more than news, it'll be silly. There should be more of a focus, not more of a centralization, taking away from what news needs.
I could be very wrong, but that's how it seems.
Again I can't say much, I just suggest looking at the reports for news this month, see of theynhave decreased or increased for you.Quote:

never the less not sure why they changed it all, like graphics to content graphics etc
they changed it cause the 3 departments were dying or dead, the graphic department was stranded without any hope of a new manager and mett merged themQuote:

Nah, news had about 8-10 staff and we're doing fine, content only had me in for weeks then jake came back and graphics had about 3 in.Quote:

Can someone merge those posts please.
Hold on a second, was someone on drugs when doing this? You're going to have so many problems if this becomes one large department. You'll also have a manager who would know very little about certain departments, won't be able to dedicate all the time to focus on specific areas because it's too big.
I also think news wasn't that bad, it just needed some issues sorted such as posting quicker and the removal of real life etc. Then why make it suffer by merging it... If I were a news reporter and wanted to work for news, I would not want to work for Wiki or the site content and I can tell you this, many of the best news reporters we had here would never have agreed to working on these areas, so why make them?
Just because if like David said, one department suffers, doesn't mean that others have to go down with it.
don't worry everyone it'll be unmerged soon *hopes and prays*
If anything I think the departments have gotten worse since the merge because not everyone wants to do what they are now required to do. Apparently I now have to post news reports which isn't what I joined content for.. and so risk being fired by not doing so. Not heard of one person in the dept who thinks its a good idea
lol whos idea was that? do graphic people have to do news as wellQuote:

I don't believe so and vice versa.Quote:

Was this Jin's idea then?Quote:

@pasta; basically sums it up perfectly. People don't apply for news/ content to do both.
Besides, making it centralized means that one single manager can't focus on news or graphics and improve it. You will have one manager, who is clearly loving this, making most of the decisions to things he does not have a clue about. When did that ever sound like a good idea to anybody?
I don't know what 'reasons' you found, but clearly they were poor reasons with this level of dissatisfaction and the fact that people are not motivated and want to resign, from what I can tell.
theres still a news manager? and skynus knows what hes doing with graphic department (which isnt hard work to maintain)Quote:

nick for graphic managerQuote:

How do you have a news manager and no news department anymore, at least in writing. Also, if these news people are forced to write wiki, then it's a 'writers department' not a news department.Quote:

Also, OK I understand merging content and graphics. But why bring news into the mix :S.
wont happen lololQuote:

needless to say it won't work, the 3 DO NOT work together, they are COMPLETELY different and it just seems like it's easier to merge all departments when you lose a manager
lol rv lost manager too lets just merge everything and have all staff do everything
