Re^4: How do janitors get fired? (sneaky)

Usually I look to you as someone who is fairy smart and wise, which is very hard to be, but you slipped up on this one. Big time.

This isn't a job where perlmonks pays people to do a job. "Still want your job? Reply here!" Instead, you cut people off. I wasn't one of them nor do I want to be one of them. This is completely voulentary. In the end, you took the false positive and cut them off anyhow not admiting a mistake. Very bad exampe you've set for anyone who wishes to contribute in such a manner. "Sure, do some work for us, but we'll cut you off randomly without notification."

Sadly, your generic, "they were appreciated" only shows contempt. I'm sure the same could be said of holli or whomever else has been "demoted".

Then again, I never saw you reply on the wiki either. Were you given a second chance?

Sorry, I can understand, "we need to reduce our numbers, trim some of the fat." Doing so in circumstances as it's been demonstrated.. ugh. This reeks.

Oh, I fully admit mistakes were made. Note that I didn't do much of this. I stand behind what was done because I didn't object when the plan was proposed (none of the gods did; I did express some reservations but I certainly missed the mark on what the worst fall-out would be). My major involvement has been in trying to present some of the other side of the story (where I'm sure I've made several mistakes as well). You'll have to read more of the thread to get answers to your other questions.
