Can a Server OWner Fire all the Staff Every Single one and reply your gey staff.And steal everyones work?

DustyPorViva · #2 10-10-2003, 02:52 AM

The "gey" part would be sexual harrassment.
The firing part yes, but that is just wrong.
The stealing part... I don't even know anymore...

Uh, little confused...If he fired them all how could they still work? and I just dont get the "gey" part lol

From what it looks like he basicly fired the staff after they finished the server for him.

The server owner can do wahtever he wants as long as it does not break any of the rules in the code of conduct, or any of the other offical rules from the PWA. If he called you ghey, talk to spark, he will warn him not to again.

As for stealing your work, it is not yours if its uploaded on his server.

ahh , I get it now lol , its not stealing once the work is uploaded onto the server it then becomes the property of the servers. I agree with Dusty , sounds like he just wanted them to do the work for him , then get rid of them.

So ED actually paid money towards the server? If not, then he owned nothing.

what a way to make friends

It's completely unethical, yes. Something should be able to be done about this, but at this point in time I do believe that it's impossible. There should be some kinda provision in the new rules about "using people" for certain things - i.e. hiring them merely to get a certain thing done, or to have them submit a certain set of graphics/levels/whatnot, and then immediately firing them (that is, of course, without telling them of this plan beforehand). The problem, though, is that this is tricky to define, and because of that would probably never make it to the rules.

I guess I'm still somewhat idealistic.

alarid0 · #14 10-10-2003, 08:44 AM

i hate laws. well, ones that are stretched to TRY and fit a whole range of things into one compact rule that applies for everything...one size does NOT fit all
just set somebody up to make a desicion. people will ***** about the person being biased on what he decides, but somebody HAS to make a judment on these sorts of things

konidias · #15 10-10-2003, 10:23 AM

But really, what can you do? If he wants to fire everyone that is his decision. You can't force the owner to sign contracts with any staff he hires, stating that they can't be fired by him or all their work would be removed. That's just silly.

The owner is just that, the owner. He shouldn't have to be obey the rules that his staff make. Whoever pays for the server really gets the last say in things.

Although I think what he did was morally wrong, and even plain out stupid. Even if he has all the work his staff did, how long will his server last online when he has nobody to help him anymore?
