Now this is what I don't like

To be fair if it was someone amazing then sure go ahead bring them back, but she didn't exactly revolutionize HxHD all she did was sit laugh at a few people, quit, come back and smack bang she's management. In Garion's case I would agree because he was amazing and what he did so they brought him back and kudos on them. But yeh, this is one of many silly decisions being made recently.

Also, to people that say it's risky, it's not a 'risk' because you're not getting anyone who is out there, it's just silly. Don't have anything against Shar herself, just such a move doesn't seem justified as such.

The manager will help and instruct the assistant, you don't need Garion to help them =S The manager tells the assistant what to do etc and slowly the Assistant realises what the managerial position involves. Omg Jamesy had no experience as manager, quick, bring back Professor-Alex as Garion obviously has no time.

Pathetic.

Well this is just a prime example of what Habbox has become. People who resign should stay resigned for a decent period of time.

Maybe after enough nagging they'll listen. A whole lot of nagging will be needed though.

Wow, this thread grew whilst I came off of the laptop last night.
Linking back to a past post, if Shar honestly cared and was dedicated in the department, she would know that it is unfair, and I feel she should backtrack down to SS or Normal staff.

The Help Desk should have a period of time when you are allowed to return, just like HxL is one month. It should be the same for all departments.

I really find it unfair, and I also wondered why Ben didn't come back as assistant before Shar was chosen. He had to regain his position by starting back as normal staff.
Same with Scotty, he resigned about a month later, if he stuck it out that month he may have Assistant, however, he is in full steed of Gemma getting it. But - what if he wanted to return as assistant now, don't you think you would HAVE to let him be it. It should be fair in all departments.
And from where I could see last time, HxL was also a STRUGGLING department.

You will not demote Shar, but you should. This is like the whole Apple incident again, saying he wasn't capable you gave Apple a CHANCE so give Marky or any other Super Staff a chance.

Saying they aren't dedicated, what a load of crap. If they weren't dedicated, they wouldn't be Super Staff.
Let's say this thread didn't exist, as Shar didn't return, and the Management position wasn't filled. Who would get the job. David has coding to think about and Shar wasn't there.
You would HAVE to pick an Assistant wouldn't you? In this struggling time.

So yes, you can say Shar was dedicated but it doesn't mean you can bend the rules for her. It means you have to bend the rules for Scotty, and Char if she wants to return.

If you do this are you saying BritishTea, Robald or Mrs.Mccall can return as Assistant news manager if they wish to? No you're not so why does Shar get the position back.

It shouldn't matter if you have resigned one week ago, one month ago, one year ago. The same rule should still be applicable in ANY situation.

No offence, but I hate fansites like that. It has made me lose a bit of faith in Habbox. I'll say that from my heart, it really has.

I'm going to link back to Mr-trainor's site once again, as it's where I gained my experience.

I was event and competitions manager at the time as it was merged. When they separated I was given Agm (Community). Anyway, lets skip to where I resigned as event Manager, I got offered the job at HabboForum and took it, but resigned within seven hours.
I already saw Luke was looking for a manager, and I asked if I could hav my old position back. He said I could. The reason I think this is a different situation is because, I had no staff at the time. There were approximately three staff who were all either away, cba, or banned from Habbo. So I attempted in the end to try get some events done.
I then needed an assistant, in the past, I didn't agree with an GM's decision of making Mathew the assistant there, without my consent, but in the end I had to. He resigned. I then Had JackTard and vTrain but they didn't work as well as they should. But they were gaining experience!!!
You HAVE to be in the role at some stage to gain experience.
I was a rubbish event manager, and yes I admit defeat. But that's because Mr-trainor and Ajthedragon didn't help me. And the event department struggled, but we got a few hundred members, and I ran a good team for a while so I'm proud.

So basically I am saying, it doesn't matter about experience, it's just if you have the dedication to learn.

exactly what you're saying. Garion can't expect to have someone that looks like good management because they have never been put into the position; so he brought back Shar. Thats a risky move to be fair because it gets so many people mad and people might resign because of the unfair decision.

So far in this thread I have tried to keep my opinion to myself, but this is a valid point.

So basically, it was a struggling department before, going to stay same if loads resign.

[flatface]

I agree with what everyone has posted, it is really unfair blahblah. To the posts that say "no one was fit for the role" or "we don't have time to train up a new assistant", I think that's rubbish really lol, it's not rocket science, once you see the managers forum it's pretty much self explanatory. Of course you may have some questions to ask which is fine, but everything else is very straight forward, I would say.

I wouldn't say it was a struggling department, I'd say it needed an assistant (as most departments do)... I'll stop there lol. As far as resignations are concerned that is beyond me, it depends on how people feel on the situation. Which means its up to them to tell you not me lol

I'm not gonna comment with my opinion on the matter because I think we'll be fine either way but I agree with you, especially as there is a Manager. When I became Senior Competitions Staff in January (well, late December) I pretty much learnt immediately because Mike taught me. Mike explained the procedures, Mike explained what exactly I had to do and things like that. My role didn't really change when I got Asst. Manager in May so I'm not gonna comment on that but I think that anyone can do it, they just need a bit of help! Dave's there and I think anyone can do it. As I said, I won't be mentioning what I think is best for the department as I think anything is suitable.

Like I said, Jamesy had no experience and the forum is struggling, so by Garions way of thinking, an ex-FM should have got the job.

Oh no wait, different set of rules for everyone.
