Also it was amazing to hear that you guys hired a family to cook and clean, it was even more fun to read how incompetent they were at doing it. I would do a summary or say something funny but I can't for the life of me think of anything since I'm that stunned over how bad this "press release" was. | ||

I would do a summary or say something funny but I can't for the life of me think of anything since I'm that stunned over how bad this "press release" was. I have no idea how the email the OP left as a contact was fucked up (I'd assumed it was a pseudonym, like nearly all pros in the scene use, as well as many of the support staff). Looked like person@theirwebsite.com to me, which seems pretty reasonable. I also don't know how the pdf was fucked up. How the message is given only really affects how many people will read it. If their site is going to be down for the foreseeable future, it also provides them somewhere to point other reputable news organizations to. Their incompetence at their job has everything to do with why they are no longer doing that job, I don't understand why everyone is so offended by that. I was under the impression that English was not the poster's first language, and not everywhere has the same ideas on what each word means, and uses them differently. If I say someone was incompetent at their job, that means they sucked at it. Would you rather I say "they were incredibly bad at the jobs we tasked them to do"? That means pretty much the same thing. I think you, like many other people in this thread, are being hard on MoW for reasons that are exaggerated for drama. | ||

I think you, like many other people in this thread, are being hard on MoW for reasons that are exaggerated for drama. You may be right, but it still sounds bad. "I'm sorry about all this drama, by the way our employees were incompetent." A much better way to phrase it would be: "Pay arrangements are still being discussed with the employees we dismissed, since they did not uphold their responsibilities." And that's just a sentence I came up with out of my ass. Think of what MoW could have spun if they had put some time into it. | ||

What we see here is either sheer incompetence of the "boss" or he's just trying to rip people off(or a mix of both). You don't go into GSL when u're bronze, u first grind 10.000 games and get to GM. | ||

You don't go into GSL when u're bronze, u first grind 10.000 games and get to GM. Everyone starts somewhere, and people learn different things from different mistakes. It's also considerably harder to let someone go if you'd hired them as a favor to someone else in the first place (I'm assuming the hiring of Oliv's parents was either a favor or just a thing of convenience). If my girlfriend's father asked me for a job and he sucked at it, it would be harder for me to get rid of him than to just deal with him sucking. If I'd previously hired my friend's brother and he sucked at his job, I'd have known to either not hire the father in the first place, or had experience in getting rid of someone that I'd need to deal with outside of work previously. Who's to say he's ever hired a friend of a friend before? Who's to say they didn't have great credentials and then end up flaking? There's plenty of other parts to the story that we will never know, and we don't need to assume that the MoW organization was a dick about it from the start. And yeah, that's a better phrase to use, sure, but understand the cultural and language barriers and don't go ape shit over an accurate (albeit mean) way to say something is all I'm saying. | ||

I agree, but so far it seems like this enterprise is too much for Him to handle. Again, there is nothing wrong with that, but failing at such a huge thing can be very costly. That's why people usually start with smaller tasks to gain experience, and then slowly move further. I of course hope that MoW will somehow get back on legs and build good reputation, as it will be beneficial for whole community. | ||

If a manager hires someone because they're friends and the friend isn't qualified for the job, then why would the manager be qualified for their job? I just don't see how anyone can expect them to do a better job the next time without massive, internal retooling. The smoke is just what's visible from the outside, the fire on the inside is the problem. | ||
