number of jobs a staff can have (at once)

[MKR&*42]

VVhy is there no limit on how many departments 1 user can be in. I really don't find it necessary for anyone to be in over 4 departments at the most (and even then, I would say 3 if the user is a manager in one of them [not asst.]). Don't get mewrong, yes it's helping out at the end of the day but;

a) There are probably other users that'd like a position in the department, which they can't have if the slot is being filled by a person vvho has 3 other jobs or so. It seems "greedy" almost.
b) I struggle to see how anyone can maintain a decent standard of production in over 4 departments really. I'd rather see staff focused on 1/2/3 departments. For some it can work out, the majority I think not.

At this rate, there's going to be people with 10 different job roles.

I totally agree with you. I have 4 jobs at the moment, but I literally have no life so it works out. I think everyone in my departments would say I do MORE than enough in each, but I don't see how someone could cope with more than that.

The biggest issue I have is if the staff member is actually doing enough work in each role. At the end of the day, if they're not, they need to be complained about and the AGMs/managers will deal with it.

some people don't have social lives therefore they can donate all their spare time to habbox and it's various departments.

I agree with this so much +REP for you bringing this up. If you have more then four jobs how can you devote your time to each one and provide quality? You cannot. One or more of the departments will suffer. Its not fair on the people in those departments that begin to fail. At the end of day, remember your not superman/woman. Your only human.

If someone is capable of doing 10 jobs then I don't see a problem. The problems arise when people aren't able to even cope with one

Hi Warren, I know this is about me so I'll say this, there are no staff limits in any departments thus I am not taking anyones role. I have explained this to previous people.

I'm not greedy, far from it and I always believe if someone can spread themselves that thin then let them, I know I'd resign if anything got too much for me and I have done in the past, i.e resigning from Events, Content, Graphics in the past - I know I might be in them now but previously I left.

When I became Assistant Rare Values Manager I was in Content, News, Competitions and Rares and was asked to leave two departments although if I felt I could handle more then it was fine. I did chose to leave News and Content yet Charlie wanted me to stay in news therefore I did. I then realised after (when I was in other departments) that having an assistant such as Laura, Luke or Will when I had them that they help a lot and take a lot of weight off you - thus I had more free time.

Also, I don't have college anymore and I don't work that many hours a week, I have just PMed someone wondering how I can handle so many jobs therefore I broke it down:

Competitions I can usually do at the start of the month, providing I have inspiration I rounded that at 5 hours to do - yes this would depend how many Competitions I required and reiterating my inspiration. After that, the only thing I need to do in the department is pick the winners.
Rare Values can take a few hours per week depending on how many I do, when my minimum is reached and such - I placed this at 2-3 hours per week.
Content I also placed at 2-3 hours per week and more depending if I see fit (same with Rare Values). I believe that being a fast typer too contributes to how quick I can do content related work.
Graphics, I admit I wasn't going to return (I decided against it but then Cameron persuaded me), I figured I could trial it and see how long the averge Graphic took me, again this is a monthly thing but unlike competitions it's throughout the month.
Then Events, this is two hours per week or more if I wish to host more events.
News is a constant thing with me being a manager and all, this requires most of my attention but like I said, with 6 departments I am trialling. I do have a fair bit of free time and with me being away at the beginning of August I admit I haven't tried as much this month but I am improving.

If anything gets too much I would resign, I do have one or two departments in mind about that at the moment!

Also, I do not agree with people saying things like if you have over X amount then you cannot possibly give the same effort in each, I think that's upto the person in question and if they can handle it so be it. Yes it would be different if I was starting college again next week but I don't, I have a part time job and I'll see my boyfriend once about every two week - that only gets rid of a few days and it's not every week (providing I sometimes only work 4 hours a day so there are 20 others I can work, depending on sleep).

it's not really a problem unless they're finding it hard to get the jobs done. at the end of the day it's voluntary work and if they're enjoying the job why should they have to resign for other people? i'm pretty sure that if the workload was too much for them and they couldn't handle it they would either resign or the department managers would have a word.

[CaptainAce]

Some people Jurv just don't resign. They think they can manage but they cannot. Yet they don't see it. And they do the minimum work required therefore leaving the other to bare the brunt of the job which is unfair.

if they don't resign and they cannot manage the job then it's down to the managers to warn them about it, but if they're able to completed the minimum then there isn't really a problem. as long as they're actually doing something in the department and doing what needs to be done it's not a serious issue.

If their managers have an issue with the amount of effort somebody is putting in, they should get rid of them. I don't see a problem, if people want to help more than others fair enough, if people aren't helping enough, they should be fired - simple.
