I understand you have a job to do, and that to some extent it's required. However, it's not like I don't notice when you're sidestepping and reframing issues in an attempt to "non-answer" the hard questions. It's frustrating to watch you continually move around the fact that the community isn't "fine" here. | |

But each and every person on my team knows that they will be called upon to do it. You dont' get into community management without being willing to engage with communities. I appreciate your thoughts for them, but I think they'll be fine. Let's give them a chance to prove it. | |

That's not something that is fixed by reassigning tasks, it's a relationship of trust built over time. Those personal relationships had survived breakdowns in the broader relationship between company and curators and seemed like the most promising avenues for mending the broader relationship. | |

But I still have some long-term very dedicated community managers who will step up. In previous times, they may have been assigned to less public tasks, but that doesn't mean they aren't capable of doing the type of public work that these two were so good at - it just means that they were assigned to work in other areas. Work assignments are going to have to change, clearly. | |
