Staff Career Progression, Expectations, and Disciplinary

The purpose of this guide is to provide information on how staff are selected and how staff members progress in their careers. This guide also provides guidance on staff-specific disciplinary actions.

Values

The Staff team operates on four core values

1. Service - The selflessness of character to place the interests of our server and its players ahead of your own. Often measured in activity, ticket taken etc.
2. Integrity - The consistency of character to align your thoughts, words, and actions to do what is right. This refers to your honesty and moral strength.
3. Respect - The humanity of character to value others and treat them with dignity, with relation to how you engage with your peers and the wider community.
4. Excellence - The willingness of character to strive each day to be the best you can be, both in a staff context and personally. This is also known as 'going above and beyond!'

Progression

Staff progression is determined by a series of factors such as, but not limited to:

1. Activity
2. Character
3. Competence
4. Suitability for promotion
5. Engagement with the Server and it’s community
6. Adherence to Staff Values and Expectations
7. You're ability to communicate (i.e. challenging ideas, speaking up when you believe something is wrong).
8. Initiative (this is massive! What elevates you above your peers?)

What staff progression is not determined by

• Your political or business affiliations, spicy or not.
• Your friendship with other staff members. Your rapport, however, will be considered.

How does it work?

1. A member of the team, generally a senior staff member, will raise a nomination for discussion. (you can flag interest, generally about 4-6 months in your role).
2. A discussion is had about the member’s suitability and other defining factors.
3. The nomination is put to vote. Generally no comments are provided by the poster of the vote in the vote channel itself in order to maintain neutrality.
4. An outcome is reached over time or after further discussion.
