This just seems like it came up very suddenly.
Change is one thing, but this doesn't feel right at all. I looked over the list of ones that we know about, and....Pan, Buki, Prism, JK...these aren't just random staff.
These are people that we as Gaians not only have come to know, but respect as well.
Something isn't right in those offices. I thought I imagined it when I visited, but...you guys don't have the livelihood the place was once known for.
I know Gaia Interactive is a business. No one is debating that point, but I think someone there lost sight of what
Gaia is. it's not about selling items and crunching sales figures.
Gaia was founded when a couple friends got together, and shared the love of a common interest and invited others to join in. Along the way, more people were brought in as the site grew, but it didn't lose that spark that made the site special.
But the past few years, it's been harder and harder to justify actions taken by those who get to make certain calls. I get that layoffs happen to keep a company afloat, but these people were not known for being bad workers, and are incredibly well known in the user community.
And Many of them come from the HoC team too, from what I have been hearing. I might be wrong about it, but it
sounds like someone's being tossed under the proverbial bus.
No...It's not sounding good at all.
