Lack Of Events

[sex]

He's hosted roughly 4/5 events in the entire month of December. Surly when the manager isn't meeting their min why should the staff? IMO it seems as if events got a downgrade in manager quality when comparing Hayden with Alex, at least Alex hosted weekly events etc.

Surprised fj isn't here complaining lol... Oh wait he likes hayden

We currently have a points challenge where you can win up to 300c and there are people still just doing their minimums.

Is this similar to what's happening in hd though how a few are hosting loads and are on top so people can't be bothered knowing they won't be able to win so just do minimum? Correct me if I'm wrong I don't know if it's the same kinda point scheme

[despect]

Yeah, that's what I mean haha. 'Got no prizes' then you get invited to their shop packed full of norms. But okay.

Sort of makes Laura's point true about some events staff not pulling their weight .

To say every department is a mess is completely untrue, i can think of a few departments that are always improving and there are people who work hard but do not get recognised for their work.

ok some are more of a mess than others

and if people aren't being recognised for their work then they obviously aint doing very much!

So the manager has no incentives to recognize people for their work and no system to reward people with? Seems shocking that he's managing a group of people then and of course, without question, there will be a lack of motivation.

[Inseriousity.]

Guest roles do not provide the department with stability. Something that all managers go through is that they have to build. They have to build a team, life will happen, just when they've got the best team ever, resignations will happen and they'll have to rebuild. It's a constant cycle of that. I would say it's getting harder to build a team than it used to be but it's not impossible. However, guest roles would threaten that cycle because people that could be persuaded to take on a full role are more likely to just go for the guest role instead, especially as they tend to cater towards those people that left the department many moons ago. They also appeal to those people that are in the department who want to resign because the weekly minimum is getting too much for them with their busy life but they still want to contribute. Guest roles do not strengthen the department, they undermine the regular staff.

I agree with Grig. It's about leading by example, getting yourself out there, hosting a big event to show people what the department is still capable of (boosts morale etc etc).

PS. People saying he's only had a couple of weeks in the department and we shouldn't be too harsh. I agree but being a decent human being is something you're supposed to learn at birth onwards and it will ultimately help his department if he doesn't treat his staff like they're beneath him.

Haha yeah i guess that would be true .

O/T: I still think there should be more advertisement on habbo about events applications.

[FlyingJesus]

Frankly I don't think it even makes sense to keep the department if it's not going to improve at a rapid rate very soon; we're having one or two events at peak times which all the staff seem to be perfectly capable of attending but then mysteriously disappear when asked to host next, and then the international staff come on and host something at 2am with 5 people attending. Just about every event is less a community entertainment deal and more just a social gathering of people who are already Hx staff or regulars, so the department isn't really doing anything for our image anyway. If it was running properly with a constant stream of popular events like it used to many moons ago then I could see why keeping things as they are would work but when it's more an embarrassment than an advertisement there is simply no point in carrying on the charade. If we're as strong a community as management would like us to believe then let people host events in Habbox's name as and when they feel like it, scrap the absolutely pointless CNB system which no-one in the entire world gives a toss about, and instead of an events manager have someone (the Community AGM for example... who?) be in charge of promoting Habbox on the client and encouraging the community to be a community. Give incentives to build "official" autoruns or event rooms or theme rooms or whatever and give up the absurd belief that an events department that relies on trialists hopefully not cancelling 5 minutes before their booked event is of any value to us currently. It's over-regulated, under-staffed, and totally ineffective.

ps sorry I didn't post earlier I will never leave the house again in case a thread is made
