Habbox Staff Structure

[Samantha]

Then why not just introduce the senior title to the more experienced staff members in those departments? They're doesn't have to be any extra job roles if there are none to give, but at least it gives something to aim towards. I'm pretty sure the difference between my 'Lecturers' and 'Senior Lecturers' at Uni are just that the seniors have been there longer and end up on a better pay scale

To be fair, I wasn't even aware that senior staff in some departments had a different role than ordinary staff, just that they were the experienced ones. I can understand that senior staff have a role in larger departments thatcan be team based (HxL, HxHD etc.) but News, Rare Values and possibly Events?

In News the senior helps edit news reports and sometimes does reports - not many extra roles and really it's not that much different than an (Assistant) Manager. However, a senior role allows someone to get that experience and feel for the management role before actually being it, plus sometimes we're actually not allowed to have X or Y as the assistant therefore the senior is usually the next best thing.

I'm saying nothing, tbh.



This would probably cause a lot of commotion and is also an unneeded promotion and a time waste, IMO. Like has been said above, it's pretty obvious who's been in the department for longer and who is the most experienced. It would be wrong to give someone a senior role based on the X amounts of months they've been there. The position is given to an entrusted staff member to help out with smaller management duties, thus making the manager's job easier. It seems pointless giving a "senior" role to someone with absolutely no benefits whatsoever. Or is there something I've missed?

Cough when I was content senior you didn't give me extra roles even when I asked/offered to do some things for you !

Competitions COULD have a senior, which would just go round having a bit more authority but not much, I mean, it could help but there's no real NEED for it I guess? Graphics, the same, as Nick's an international manager and half the staff are GMT it would be good to have a senior who could give feedback and things but I know as normal staff, I do this anyway.

Yeah I agree with this, in Competitions we can also give feedback, but I sometimes feel like it's not a normal staff member's place to say and that we'd be seen as trying to act superior if we did (it's happened before, I'm not just speculating).

No, it's just a bad idea

But why do we have senior staff in News and Rare Values then? They're the two smallest departments, and to be fair, probably have the least workload.

Oh, it's on there, just each segment is scaled to the amount of work hours that have been put in to each department

Actually, providing staff do the work correct I believe Rare Values has a big workload, when I was in the minimum was changed to I think 40 values and in order to meet your minimum X% had to be approved. 40 may not seem like much, but if you're going in shops and taking trades yourself it can take a while.

One of the two comes with helpful roles. The other, well the manager needs aid. An assistant could in fact be promoted there, however, but I think it would be better to leave as a senior position. At least, for now.

Ah beat me to it as I know you're talking about me . Although, they do both have helpful roles it just so happens the roles in News is near enough assistant - in fairness so is Rare Values, the head aids the manager.

At the time, it wasn't needed. Hence why you got demoted to regular staff in the end.

Actually, I wasn't talking about you - so good way to jump the gun

I wasn't jumping the gun, but I know how both me and Luke are at the moment and I believe we're both in the same boat unfortunately !

I wasn't demoted, you just said the senior name was being removed shh. Also, it could have been needed, but not until months after which is a shame.

Rarest sight you'll ever see in a feedback thread

And yes I have myself on my friends list

Maybe they're having a Skype meeting and discussing points together?

[Inseriousity.]

Or they're having an argument about all the not-very-subtle messages from Matt and Tom lmao

Also, I'm pretty impressed I got a thread moved out of spam, I was going to put it in feedback initially, but since the main post itself wasn't really providing feedback as such, I just stuck it in spam. Nice to see people actually engaging in the data at least.


Whilst people are quick to say quality over quantity, I think HxL still wins in that department.


Other noticeable things:


News is lacking in staff, Rare Values is pretty low (but do they need the staff?)


HxHD has a surprising amount of staff members, and the high numbers of trialists (along with HxL) would suggests that the new managers are doing good work at getting new staff in.


Assistant managers look like they're becoming a thing of the past, not sure if that's good or not. Co-managers only seem to be introduced for different time zones at the moment, but as I said before, seems to be working well.


Why do content and graphics not have any senior staff?


Oh, and people say that @Samanfa; and @lawrawrrr; do a lot of work in various departments, but a big shoutout to @Shonly; who is managing and a senior in two departments. Working her way up in the various different ladders I see

1) Rare Values does need a lot more staff. Unfortunately we still have to value every item available on Habbo at the moment, and recent stats by myself showed the average item would be updated every few months. Since then we have had 2 new trialists though and I'm hoping that's the beginning of seeing more interest in the department .
2) If we had more staff in Rare Values, there'd definitely be an assistant. Having said that, the HRVR role is a lot more like what the A/RVM used to be.

Then why not just introduce the senior title to the more experienced staff members in those departments? They're doesn't have to be any extra job roles if there are none to give, but at least it gives something to aim towards. I'm pretty sure the difference between my 'Lecturers' and 'Senior Lecturers' at Uni are just that the seniors have been there longer and end up on a better pay scale

Senior staff in rare values is extremely important because they're the ones who tend to do most of the value moderation. i.e. The role is a lot different to normal staff.
