Staff resignations

[Lamz]

4/6 months is a bit extreme, but I agree with the application and trial process.

ikr! I think all Hept. should do 4 weeks b4 you can re-join.

Would be too long, a month atleast is good enough.

u know what fan site i'm about.. :L & yeah, 4 weeks is a good length

A month seems too short in my eyes. If you're going to faff around resigning with no good reason then you should wait longer than a month. It seems a bit selfish of whoever the resigner is to put all the effort in resigning and expect a place back so soon.

Is there no option to ask for leave or are you suggested to resign? It seems wiser just to let them keep their job but to make it known they are on study leave at school, college or university. To resign is to suggest you have no time to commit yourself in the long-term or lack any sort of passion or work ethic to want to work with and for Habbox.

In the rare values department, I changed it so that you must go back through the Trialist stage. So like, people can't resign and then come back two weeks later and expect the same position they were in when they left. There's also a thing where if you want to resign, you have to consider it for a day before making your final decision; which is what all departments have to follow though and not just rare values.

If they have other commitments like the exam period, can't they go on official leave rather than resign? Afterall, it seems a few just left for the exams and didn't want to actually leave their duties so maybe you could change their title or have them change their profile to reflect if they are absent or on extended leave. It's just odd that they leave and expect to come back immediately, it's not very respectful

They can, yes, although the maximum away time is 3 weeks. If it's above that, then you might have to resign; which I think is fair really.

I agree with what you've said in terms of expecting a place back so soon. Like I said, in Rare Values you have to go on trial again and start at the bottom of the ladder again. And some other departments do this as well.

As for going away, if it's more than three weeks then you may be asked to resign. I believe that applies to all departments.

If they are good staff members, then there is no reason to not want them to return? Obviously we don't know why said person has resigned so we can't really comment on it. However, I do agree that if someone does continue to resign then return they should be forced to apply in the normal procedure when applications open.

Yep, I do and I've been through those 4-5 month rules plenty of times there haha but im sticking with Habbox as it's better

I totally agree with the first part and all managers should follow by that. I disagree with the second bit, lets be honest mike the only reason most managers let them back right away is because 1) they feel they need to or 2) they're their friends. I reckon if staff had to wait a month to return they wouldn't resign whenever something pisses in their cornflakes.

The problem is though that being a small department, I can get away with doing my procedure because the gap left behind when a staff member resigns can be filled easily whereas a hxhd or a hxl manager (for example) who's a bigger department and more Habbo-orientated would have to run their department differently. One method doesn't fit all. So I do believe that it is at the manager's discretion over whether they want to take back staff members. Yes, I'm not going to deny that they could come back because they're friends but at the end of the day, managers want their department to work as best as possible and who are you more likely to work better with? Your friends. There's no getting round that.

in smaller departments like mine where it's really limited on the amount of people that i can hire due to skill, i can't not hire someone for a month because they rage quitted, if i need them, i need them and if they're good then i can't say no u resigned 3 months ago wait another month then you can come back

IF YA GET MEEE

I know some managers like to wait 24-48 hours when a member of staff decides to resign just to make sure that they have their mind up and do actually want to leave. I can see what you mean by it being annoying that staff decide to leave and then return again within the next day or so. Some departments do need to keep staff where as others could be replaced with applications or within minutes depending on the circumstances at the time.

So really I would say all managers should give them at least 24 hours before requesting for their permissions to go, if they still want to go after those 24 hours. Then they proceed with the permissions being removed and the announcement. Then if they then change their mind hours after they should wait 1-3 weeks at least before they can come back.

3-6 months is extreme and staff members who get fired only have to wait one month.

[Chippiewill]

What really miffs me is when ex-staff don't have to go through the application process to rejoin a department. Perhaps they don't need to be trainee staff, but denying someone else the chance isn't really fair.

I feel that if after the forty-eight hours they haven't changed their mind they should be unofficially a member of that department and be required to wait at least a week before reapplying to the department (Not just rejoining) so that they are very sure that they wish to rejoin.

Some people have to resign as they don't get long enough to post away
at HxL you get 3 weeks like posting away, 4-6 months is abit extreme especially if they resign for that reason

A different fan site... I wont say the name... when u resign you have to wait 4/6 months before you can re-join the team... & you have to go through the application process & trial all over again.
