@πάνταῥεῖ The new CEO made quite a few changes at the top, which is probably what you'd expect

@πάνταῥεῖ We lost a bunch of good people, there's a lot of transition on top, and stuff is going to take a while to settle

At the end of the day though - the organisation is more than one person, no matter their short term impact

πάντα ῥεῖ

@MadScientist Of course that's something expectable. But probably decided prematurely.

Journeyman Geek

@πάνταῥεῖ they also need time to settle in

πάντα ῥεῖ

@JourneymanGeek Yes, and I am a bit of sad how that affected those (IMO) good people. :(

Journeyman Geek

@πάνταῥεῖ which is why its worth remembering that Shog's been urging calm, and not attacking folks all through this

The only CF that comes to my mind in this context Charlie Foxtrot

πάντα ῥεῖ

@JourneymanGeek That's one thing I absolutely agree!

Machavity

And who knows... maybe Shog9 gets rehired. A new corporate person might look at that and have the same reaction we did

Journeyman Geek

@DanisFiddlingbyFirelight I doubt that's going to be very constructive

Constructing a pile of stuff is just as much fun today as when I was 3 and playing in the dirt

and unless I see them start acting to fix things I don't really care about anything else

:8245800 @Shog9's world is open IMO. One of the best data analysts, and keeping social impacts on track.

I remember over a dozen times, over the decades, where there was a person (or a few) whom I dealt with at a company. One day (in each case) when I went back and asked for them I was told that they no longer worked there. I simply said "Thanks.", turned around, and left. Never once did I complain, or pitch a tent in their parking lot; nor did I return. No loss to me.

@Rob Here's the funny thing about SE - its as much a community of people as much as a company. People form bonds - swap stories. Even in some cases when communities leave embittered, they still keep track of happenings here

Rob

It's like when you're friends / dating / whatever with someone and everything is fine. Then you don't see them for a year or two. Then they come back. They can think "that's OK", you can think "that's OK" - but really, is it ever?

The issue was never "Will SO regret their actions here?". The issue was always how fast they would get there. Maybe third time really is the charm. And without lawsuits

Andras Deak

nah, according to new tradition we'll all be brought to arbitration for ruining the company ;)

rene

Will we be flown in to attend a court hearing?

Andras Deak

I hope so!

Machavity

Arbitration is just... weird. It's like millennials were asked to re-envision courtrooms, where the judge sits at a table with everyone else, wearing a polo shirt and khakis

Except that the Judge is paid for by one side and almost always rules in favor of getting another job from the person paying for the session.
