Manager

[Samantha]

Rare Values or maybe nowadays Articles.

And I wouldn't have a grand plan because I never have before and usually grand plans mean a manager coming in and changing things for the sake of it or to put their mark on a department. The countless sticky threads that a new manager predictably writes everytime they gain the position is mind-numbing.

I never got that, like having a new handbook every different manager, it's only needed when necessary.

AGM Staff would actually be interesting, I would also fire those inactive ones and look at why some staff don't even come on the forum!

I ruined the history too I thought.

Quite nice seeing a thread stuck from a manager from ten years ago when it was first founded as a department. Used to do my head in people unsticking!

Struggling to think of something I haven't already managed that I would enjoy or see as a challenge haha! For sure my favourite two management positions here have always been News (now articles) and AGM Community.


Like others though, I would choose the old AGM Staff role as I think sometimes it's the missing bridge between departments and ensuring that managers and staff are doing their jobs as efficiently as possible and removing the deadwood. It's also a pretty good cover for when the other AGM's are away or focusing on a particular project for their area. I think another important reason would be for increasing moral and getting staff working together more and ironing out any issues they may have with each other/management/other managers so that everyone can work successfully together. I think one of the big issues a lot of the time is keeping staff motivated, ensuring they are given enough praise for their work and the same with managers really. I think some people see each department as very individual and don't always fully appreciate that we're all part of a much bigger team and that it takes communication and collaboration in order to make something work well. Staff engagement on the client isn't always as great as it can be also and some people don't always represent us as a fansite too well. I think an inter-staff tournament could be quite fun too to get the team feeling back.

Fun fact: I almost became AGM staff back in 2010 I think it was (I can't remember exactly when it was) but Garion changed his mind at the last minute and stayed!

Trialists have never been controlled what they're editing?? Their edits have been looked at like any other staff member but never controlled per se....

I didnt mean controlled in the way you have taken my comment. More in the way that they have edited/removed some accurate and detailed information and then seniors/managers not properly looking at their actual edits to see if they were any good and letting their bad edits stay on the site/wiki.

@Samanfa; I wouldn't like to mention any names!
@Martin; iirc Garion was going to leave but was persuaded to stay by Matt/Jin.
