HxHD Manager

[Samantha]

I am focusing on HxL 100%, that's why I have no other role on Habbox and that's what I will continue. To say, oh I'm going to apply because news is small or there's not much to do is false. News is far from perfect and to divert your attention from it to another managerial role will not help it be perfect. There are still months and months of changes and stuff needed for news and that requires a lot of hard work. Unless, you are willing to be online extremely often, I don't see how you'll fit both in.

Unless a manager's department is doing extremely well, I don't see how anyone could make an argument of managing because of how small their department is. Ideally, news shouldn't be as small either :p.

I believe that actually helping manage another department can also work wonders for News too (like with any department). News has never been and will never be perfect like with all departments, but we can try make it seem perfect, which I am doing. It's unfortunate that I've had to take some time off recently as it's set back what I was trying to do, but since my return changes have been made and they're continuing. I didn't apply just because News is small, I applied for a variety of reasons - also, unless a manager's department is doing extremely well they shouldn't apply? So, no current managers will be applying then as we can always improve and fansites aren't doing as well as they used to unfortunately . Also, News shouldn't be small? Fine then, but it's not my fault I advertise and no one applies, you full well know why News is in such a state lmao. However, I do see what you mean, but I guess our minds work differently so I appreciate what you're saying.

I like reading these... Not really arguments or debates, I can't think of a word for it. But yeah.

Has Habbox ever done joint-manager roles? Instead of an assistant and a manager?

I would call these opinions, lol. It's probably one of the first feedback threads to reach 5 pages and not have much polite rudeness yet.

I think it would be much better to have one GMT & one International manager for HxHD than asst. and manager. Although, as Laura said, they are basically the same thing anyway.

This, also I do hope you have applied.

Oh god I agree with this - I think that all the community roles (okay, the habbo-based departments) could do with a international and gmt manager, it's the only real way to promote jobs to that timezone, which will benefit the entirety of habbox!!

Plus I know HxHD has a lot of trouble with staff reports because the manager hasn't seen someone all month due to timezone differences so they just get a "I'm sure you're doing well keep up the great work". That kind of sucks because you could be working really hard and never get any recognition for it.. :rolleyes:

There is a clear difference between departments doing well and constant improvements. Departments that do well could always have improvements because no one is a perfectionist, but when a department is really struggling and one of the reasons for you to apply to another job is due to that said department being small, simply makes no sense.

Well the two general factors I know of news being in such a state is poor management in the past and a lack of willpower to make some radical changes.

The last two managers were international and there was minimal improvement of international times. Unless they have the willpower or a specific role to improve international times, it could be very limiting.

But then I think the problem was reversed and GMT staff didn't get enough recognition. I know one of the reasons Erin resigned is because she was upset by never seeing problems/complaints in time due to being asleep when they occurred. Having two managers from completely different timezones mean that problems will be dealt with so much faster. Plus, as I've already said, reports are very difficult to write if you never see the person you're writing the report for.

Personally, I would question ANY users ability to manage more than one department, and hold other voluntary roles too. Just thinking about my own life, and if that was ever possible...

I've applied and I realised that my timezone would probably mean that I wont get it but oh well I've expressed my interest. I've stated some views and ideas of my own to the dept and having just recently rejoined I've noticed a few things that should be changed behind the scenes as well as the things out there for everyone to see. A few people have been 'attacked' for applying and not being able to step up to the job but some people can when the time is there. I will say that Erin for example I was her senior when she trialed she was incredibly quiet and sweet and she stood up and ran the desk as great as she could from where she was. There are ways to work around the point below by both international and GMT managers you just have to put in the effort and be a manager.

giggles at my point ^^^ this exactly omg the amount of times I've had that

I think it's a good way for Habbox to find a senior staff member. I hope they aren't current staff but someone completely new.
