News Department Feedback 2k13

[Martin]

A good start would be to look at why so many people resign from events when given a trial and why so many people fail their trials etc.


Lack of motivation?
Lack of leadership?
Lack of praise/constructive critisism?
Lack of feeling part of a team?
Lack of organisation?
Lack of fun?
Lack of direction and guidance?



I'm sure there are other people that can check spelling errors and the quality of articles- there NEEDS to be. Feedback PMs offering advice need to be sent regularly, similarly those who do good work and set good examples need telling this frequently.

Are department reports still weekly? Are there Seniors sending out these type of PMs and monitoring the control of quality? It never used to be down to an AGM to do this..


There are some seriously deep rooted issues within the department and all I can hope is that this plan being introduced at the weekend is going to be ground breaking in making the department more appealing to be a part of.

I'm not, and I don't know why they weren't done.

Then you needa find out and make sure it doesn't happen too much in future surely? It shouldn't all be down to you.




and okay, I look forwards to seeing the changes at the weekend then.

That leaves 80% of feedback being constructive, that's pretty good tbh

2 posts (both just copied over from the Habbo site) is "picked up"? Whoa.

Like I said, I haven't had a chance to read them on the main site yet. I know for a fact (before you call me out here, they're all posted in a subforum, which I did scroll past checking on my phone one day) there's been more than that though.

Read: "no-one could possibly do my job I am the only person in the world with the ability to implement nothing for 3 months". Your ego is hilarious

Read again: I'm not sure who would be capable of taking over who has the proper footing in News and Content to understand where the plan has emerged from. Not sure who doesn't mean there is noone. Also, you know I've done more than that in 3 months, and we have been forming the plan which will be implemented soon. Oh, and it's only been a month.

Very true, it could be spent putting plans into action rather than just talking about them vaguely. If you're in charge, take charge

I am in charge. I have been messaging many people and forming the plans. I just don't talk about specifics in a public forum because I don't think it's anyone other than the staff+'s place to know what is happening before it gets announced

They are because it's your job and you aren't doing anything past the planning stage but seriously lmao @ talking about MY tone

People not wanting to join the department (for going on four years now) is MY fault? Having inactive reporters is MY fault? But seriously, I'm fed up of people saying I'm doing nothing when it's ​simply not true.

That much is obvious, and really all you needed to say. Cheers.

Don't care about your opinion. Not the job. I care very much about all of the departments I manage, as well as Habbox as a whole, and am putting effort in to better them.

Small question to anyone that knows the answer:

How long can you have 'away' at one period of time? And how often can you go 'away'?

3 weeks max in 1 period

dunno how it works if you like went away for 3 weeks, came back for a week and then did the three weeks again. Think it's down to manager's discretion etc etc

Three weeks, with a genuine excuse. Longer, if the GM or Staff AGM will permit it. There is a limit and I think it's something like 3 weeks every 2 months but don't hold me to that.

[Kardan]

3 weeks every 2 months, if true, seems an awful lot. That's like 37.5% of the time you can be away and get away with it.

Then of course, if you consider all this 'limited' business, that percentage can go up.

[lawrawrrr]

If someone's taking the piss and constantly posting away, we'd notice Have done recently actually in a couple of cases & confronted the staff member!

[Kardan]

Anyway, doing some research I've found that Laura became AGM on 4th March, it's now 20th May, so that's 11 weeks.

At the start of the 11 weeks, Laura was listed as away. Straight after she was away she was listed as 'Limited'.

Then Laura said she was away since Thursday, limited shortly before then too, and looking at her signature she's now limited until Monday.

What are the rules about going 'limited'?

I agree from like a page back that you should be checking over spelling errors, but I think you said you were posted away, shouldn't the news team leader be the main one to be doing that anyway though? Who is the team leader? I can't remember.
