Auralanity 1,097 / 19,918 Report Post Posted January 13, 2019 Edited January 13, 2019 by Aura I am regretfully resigning from my leadership position in Media Team along with leaving the team. I am not happy with the current state of GFL, since it's just a drama fest with the slightest changes setting off people. To add on, I am unmotivated to do anything, something I should've recognized immediately when I got asked to lead the team. But I didn't, I was selfish. I was so giddy for finally proving everyone wrong, who doubted me being on leader. Many people pushed for me being promoted to leader, and I didn't want to let them down. I sort of felt 'obligated' to take the position, even though I wasn't really motivated to do anything with it. (I know, that's terrible to admit, but its true) I am sorry for letting everyone down. Thanks to everyone who believed in me though. 💗 Edit: You can still make personal GFX requests to me. I'll do them, but it will be on my own time.

Astral Rogue 188 / 3,914 Report Post Posted January 13, 2019 Unfortunate circumstances. I'm certain that you would've been a good leader, since you seemed to have good plans for the Media Team. I kind of understand your feelings though, since I have heard conflicts happening a lot of the time. And I do understand your decision to take the promotion, since letting people down isn't the best feeling. And don't worry. I'm sure you'll get another chance to shine in the future, darling. ❤️ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

im not inactive you are 888 / 16,340 Report Post Posted January 13, 2019 That was a fast resignation. Things are back to how they were before Council was moved to TL. More to show the current "upgrade" doesn't solve much, because now one of the "guiding bodies" is going to have to take over, or have another TL take over the team, which leads to more unproductiveness due to having to multitask and take on roles that weren't intended for them. It was better set up with TL -> 2nd in command -> team, that way if the TL resigned, the 2nd in command could quickly take over. It's a shame things have changed and you had to leave. As for the drama-fest, it's always been a drama-fest, everyone trying to 1up the other, and constant tagging trying to bring each other down, not going to say who-to-who, but it did happen a bit. Also I'd assume most drama is done because of the recent changes & certain individuals causing a lot of drama and tension through the teams, not to mention the deadlines wanted by the directors (I remember reading something about a roadmap for the whole year wanting to be done, as well as what changes were to be planned for 2019?) I mean that's a lot of stress in-and-out of itself, not to add up to the stress created by some Council members who are too pushy at times & aren't staff-like & respect others' schedules. You were a good 2nd in command, though leading the team through 2nd in command is different than TL, since TL does have more behind-the-scenes work to do, and a lot less time to work on their private requests, since they're stuck on delegating the functions of other members (the easy part of being TL). As for taking the role to show others, not a very smart choice, if you knew you weren't ready to take on the role or didn't have the ambition to take it, you shouldn't have taken it. It's a bit of a waste of time on Council's side when they could've chosen someone else for the job who would've remained longer, always choose selflessness over selfishness, brings the community up and creates less work/stress for others.

When I originally pushed for me to have leadership, I was selfless in wanting to make the Media Team better and more active. Over Christmas break, things changed. I won't say exactly what happened, but life happened. Things change, its bound to happen. Should I have accepted leader in the first place? No. It was a mistake, and I realize that now. But I resigned now instead of getting demoted for inactivity later, its better this way.

RVFK 1,037 / 15,970 Report Post Posted January 13, 2019 Edited January 13, 2019 by RVFK Hopefully this doesn't come off wrong. Despite my disliking towards you, when you got promoted to leader I was genuinely excited. You seemed to want the best for the team and appeared very motivated to do so. Unfortunately, all good things have to come to an end. This one just happened to end rather quickly. Not sure what will become of the team now, but I guess that question will be answered in another day. Anyways, I appreciate you helping me and other fellow trainnes while you were on the team. Hopefully you return as your artwork is 🔥 Other then that lets not turn this topic into a feud about the changes in the team.

Winter 1,707 / 25,777 Report Post Posted January 13, 2019 At least you realized what was going on. It's big of you to notice that and step down the way you did, rather than keeping the position but doing very little. I already had respect for you, but you definitely have my respect for this too.

Full of stress of higher ups pushing thing, constant change of leadership and requests with half the info and some people want you to read minds and do exactly what they have thought. Welcome to the club tho Honestly it's not that hard, as the leader you can decide to take a request or manage your team to make that request, if I were to take up the request I'd definitely ask for more info, in the case they don't know what they want, I'll do a couple first-drafts of ideas that pop in my head and work around what they like from the ideas and try to implement it into one graphic. As for higher ups pushing things, I'm assuming every team has that, higher ups wanting more & demanding stuff (aside from moderation, that's pretty easy and basic). As for resigning early, sure it may have been a good decision, but now the team is left without a leader, would've been good if you resigned and left someone to take your place, I was sort of pushed off the team, but there was someone there to take over. I thought it would've been Joel as he had "really good ideas" to push the team forward, but I wasn't shocked it was you. Anyways, what's done is done, I'm glad that you took the courage to resign that fast.
