Livi, I remember when we used to talk all the time on Skype. You were, and are the most friendly person I've ever met. We've made great memories together, while you were staff, and when you weren't. You made it two years, and that's insannnneeee. I remember when you were accepted, and I was really excited for you, and I knew you would make a great addition to the staff team. It's sad to see you leave the staff team, but I know that won't affect our friendship at all. Keep being you. <3
We'll all miss you and remember what you've done for the team. I know you'll live a happy life outside of Minecraft and I understand why you resigned. You truly started my career as a staff member and I'll never forget you.
Although I dont know you that well, it is really sad to see you leave the staff team. I enjoyed reading your post very much and I wish you the very best of luck in school and dance! I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say dont be a stranger, you'll always be welcome at Mineplex!
Hm your point on real life jobs and staffing Mineplex actually beat me pretty good, I'm surprised I never thought about it in that light.
My only rebuttal for the sake of my own entertainment is that while real-life jobs require professionalism to be concentrated towards the interview/resume, I feel that when you're serving an online position it makes it a lot more stressing on how you present yourself. Before I complete my thought, I should also mention that this view probably differs from person to person, since I see myself not really going anywhere in life. However, anyone who has big dreams and wants to be truly successful in life will probably not share my ideals so if that's the case imagine this argument coming from a person who is working a relatively casual job (you of course would be presenting yourself nicely and working pretty hard, but work would also be a more calm atmosphere for work and chatter among co-workers).
With that image in mind, I get to my main point: I feel that it does require more work to fake your personality in an online environment versus real life. With the work environment I described you would be working at a desk, but would probably make a couple friends in your co-workers, and be able to chat in break time or meetup after work and share your personalities and enjoy yourselves over coffee or something (however the grownups do it amiright). This would, of course, never affect your work position, as your break time (and of course time outside of your work hours) isn't reflective of your work persona.
However, in the time that I spent as a staff member myself (never as accomplished as you, but I did make it to Mod and worked pretty hard on Reports Patrol for a time), I feel that I had to be very careful with my interactions at all times (well, anytime where what I was saying was public in some degree, which was almost all the time, as I rarely used PMs). If I stepped out of line with a joke, or criticized someone on my wall, I could be taking the risk of getting noticed by
higher-ups/ get a warning or be reviewed for demotion, or at worst, get demoted for a bad comment. Even in a relatively private environment with your batch group (for example), none of you are truly friends, only people brought together due to similar circumstances, so betrayal or leaking a conversation that made someone uncomfortable could be quite possible. Of course, that may have been my paranoia and tendency to overthink the reactions of people I sent messages to, so that may of course rule out my thoughts entirely, but I still feel confident enough in what I feel to post this as a legitimate argument.
This is already getting much too long so I'll stop there, please point out any discrepancies in what I wrote as it's been a while since I've wrote something like this haha. And because I'm not out to put myself out as that guy who comes to a resignation to argue, I wish you the best in the journey ahead.
Thank you for taking me up on my offer for discussion. You've written quite a lot and I want to make sure that you get a quality response in return so I'm going to have to write a fuller message in response tomorrow when I have more time.
Aww, It's really sad to see you go. You were such an amazing interviewer and I could never thank you enough for making me feel comfortable as an interviewee. Keep shining! I know you'll do amazing in whatever you choose to do! <3
Danggg Livi, that's a long time. I remember when we were both staff together back in 2015! Thanks for everything you've done, amazing amazing amazing work.
Again, thanks for everything Livi. You were an asset to the team, even though you couldn't be at TAP most of the time people should know that you were always there in the background, working hard. Good luck with everything ❤︎
I only ever spoke to you once when I failed my trial and got demoted and you told me to just carry on going and I would eventually get Mod and so I did and I did end up getting Mod (AND DEMOTED AGAIN BUT HEY) but those few words meant a lot and thanks for everything <3
I remember you before you were a Trainee, ahh the good times. you never accepted my friend request on skype two years ago tho xd
