oli / matt / agm team

[Casanova]

I think it's been really deceptive. It seems that the background goings on when it comes to our general management team are always complicated and offer no transparency for the members. I was always lead to believe (even by staff/management) that Oli would be leaving and I'll be totally honest I don't understand why it was put across unless it was set in stone.

We all know that when Oli leaves Nicola will quit, return as moderator, quit and return as a super moderator? I understand that when your favourite people leave it takes the fun away ie I don't really like the forum as much because it doesn't include the legend that is James!

And no, that wasn't a dig at Nicola, I stated I'd feel the same.

Didn't they resign for a reason though? Then bang they return at a high position? I thought the whole point of Martin and also Sarah (even though she because SMOD and has now resigned) resigning because they didn't have enough time on their hand or they had enough or something? They 'threw in the towel' I don't see how they can return willy nilly but other people can't.

He didn't get the AGM job straight after he left his previous roles though, so I'm not sure where you are getting this one from. To be honest, I even think Roxy was still part of the management team when he left.

It wasn't long, less than a month. And just because someone hadn't left it doesn't mean that it wasn't on the table at the time. I'm not accusing management of fixing things but perhaps overlooking people because they're doing a good job elsewhere forcing them to take action to be given opportunities.

I have no say in terms of management but if people aren't given opportunities / considered because they're a dept manager then that's unfair.

How is that the case though? I was department manager and I got offered to become "Acting" AGM Staff and also carry on with my Forum Manager role because at the time it was only temporary due to Sammeth being away ill. Once he returned, I stayed on being AGM Staff and a few months down the line Sammeth got GM and I became the "Official" AGM Staff.

Any current department manager has a chance of being part of the General Management Team if there is space.

Is Jamesy becoming* AFM?

I don't mind the current management team that Habbox have. It's just a bit misleading that's all.

Just that bottom bit Matt, how does everyone have a chance. I understand there was time between Roxy resigning and Martin becoming AGM is that the point where dept. managers should show how good they can be?

[Hecktix]

Can I also add:

Alkaz - Content Manager -> Content AGM
Roxy916 - Events Manager -> Community AGM
xxMATTGxx - Forum Manager -> AGM (Staff)
Garion - Forum Manager -> AGM (Staff)

There is a clear path from Department Manager to General Management, I think this includes me and Martin also as if I hadn't had to take my month off to settle into Uni and Martin hadn't had to take his month off we would have still been in the Dept Manager roles and we would have still been offered the roles.

Jamesy currently has no plans on returning to Habbox for the time being.

And anyone else who has resigned as well clearly then, since Oli and Martin did? So there is no reason for department manages to try and aim for promotion if others who resigned come back before them.

Not that I'm complaining about them getting it but just pointing it out

Obviously if there's no other choice then a Dept Manager would probably be picked but Martin was conveniently available afterwards so it was probably obvious to choose him as a candidate because he wouldn't have to be replaced etc.

I disagree, it's nothing to do with ease of replacement or whether someone will need to be replaced, it is all about the best person for the job itself, If 80% of our Department Managers left their role (via promotion or departure) I could name a suitable replacement right here right now.
