Hi.

And his own temper and short-sightedness to say the least.

I wouldn't call it a "temper" problem. He was clearly frustrated with the fact that the entire staff team was being difficult throughout his entire reign as manager. I would argue that he was goal-oriented and wouldn't get off course. I guess you can call that shortsightedness because he was focused on one idea at a time, but I prefer to call it dedication to his image of Era.

Long-story short, Alec was an awful manager.
I'm not really much to scrunch my eyes just to view the mechanics; they're irrelevant. Results are whats relevant and in his case, there were none.

Whether or not he had a temper, he failed.
Whether or not he was goal-oriented, no goals were reached, he failed.

In short, Alec Sheridan was a failure as management. The end.

Playerworld Administration fails.
Why do they still pick? Sheeeeeshhh.

They aim to select the individual that will be most "compliant" with their wishes.
In short, whoever is most compliant with their wishes fail because their wishes fail.

Perhaps you should elaborate on his failure? How did he fail? What makes you believe he failed? Just saying that he failed without any substance to your response isn't really going to make anyone believe your case.

I could go on forever but uh... no.

In short,

Failure: The nonperformance of something due, required, or expected.

Alec Sheridan did not perform his required or expected duties.
A Manager is expected to:

- Provide new content
- Keep an organized workplace/worker
- Usher in success to whats managed
- Propose and implement solutions to issues (whether small or big).
- ETC ETC ETC

I don't recall him excelling at ANY of the listed and beyond.
You say workplace/worker, but the workers disagree... lol and the results also depict otherwise.
Alec's only accomplishment was wasting time on Section 31 and even that failed.

We can list his failures for eons. Where did he succeed?

In regards to new content, he created and established Regency Theater (which was successful at one time). Scotland Yard was also big as I am sure you recall. In regards to "organized workplace", he was unable to achieve it due to Era's political factions, and thus unable to usher in as much success as he would have liked. Please look to the reset example as a solution to fix Era's economic downturn.

-To be quite frank, I don't recall any success from Regency Theatre.

-Scotland Yard was an organization/concept that ended in failure, repeatedly.
You'd have been better off mentioning Section 31, since that didn't fail nearly as many times as Scotland Yard.

- Stop beating yourself, allow me.

-In pertinence to organized workplace, the conclusion is that he failed.
In your world, nothing causes another, therefore the reasons for his failure are absolutely irrelevant.

Seeing as I'm always educating you...here we go again.
Completion and success are two different things.
Not sure (don't recall), he may have "finished" Regency, but I doubt it can be considered a success.

In short, just because you finished something, doesn't make it successful.

Success: The favorable or prosperous termination of attempts or endeavors.

Complete: Having all parts or elements; lacking nothing; whole; entire; full

Completion is a requirement for success. However, completion doesn't require nor does it mean success.

To water it down for you: You can finish a test and still fail (unsuccessful).

As you can see, these are separate. Alec's attempts were unsuccessful (failure). Complete? I don't know and nor do I care.

This thread is a clear example of why Era and its management have always been so controversial. Its political makeup is such that it has and always will be one group pitted against another in its fight for power. Hmm, sounds like United States government.

Its easy to blame the PWA for placing people into power that have failed but this is not always the case. Fact is we would prefer to not select managers but when it comes to Era it seems we are forced at gunpoint by the players due to some ongoing corruption case or due to lack of player support.

In closing, the entire staff team of Era, both past and present should be proud of themselves. I fully expect most of them to enter the exciting and controversial world of politics in the future. Just leave your guns at home. I don't think its advisable to shoot your opposition to clear the way for your own prosperity.
