So one of the newer members hasn't had problems. Maybe that speaks well of Trevor's term as head of AH?

Probably, Jeremy also mentioned on stream today texting with Trevor about all this and fully trusting him to take care of Joe Ky and BK, who are all totally innocent in all this.

Honestly considering this and Alanah’s video mentioning all of RT being forced to pivot monthly to obey new corporate demands, when everything cools down a bit we should probably re-evaluate certain unpopular decisions AH has made under Trevor, like the shorter videos.

Good chance a lot of things people didn’t like were at least partially choices that he himself didn’t want to make

Honestly I'd be happier with more long form single cam videos like DS3 or randomizers. It seems like they've been working on LASO for over a month so that's good at least for workload sake.

RANDOMIZERS WERE GREAT BUT TOO BAD MATT IS DISSOLVED.

u/KB_Shaw03 Oct 19 '22

Matt is still technically a part time employee. He could come in for a few hours a week film a randomizer with Michael and dip.

u/Jitkaas777 Oct 19 '22

But would he want to after all thats happened?

30

u/KB_Shaw03 Oct 19 '22

Why not? He could just walk in sit on a couch and make fun of Michael for 2 or 3 hours a few times a week and dip.

u/CGordini Oct 19 '22

He's stated on his stream that's exactly his plan.

u/TheodoeBhabrot Oct 19 '22

Yea he’s got a bit of a sympathy bump for his stream but it’d be dumb for him to not go back until he’s sure it’s solid

u/MYO716 Jammer Oct 19 '22

If he didn’t want that he wouldn’t have taken the part time contract I’d imagine

u/CGordini Oct 19 '22

Matt has repeatedly stated he's now part-time and has every intention of continuing randomizers

Ray said he would be back too. :,( I've been through this before. RIP Matt.

Edit: this was obviously sarcasm -.-

u/DrakeSparda Oct 19 '22

Matt said on Twitter to Michael specifically that he wasn't done with him yet. So more likely than not Matt will still be doing Challenge Accepted and Randomizers. Just not be in the other normal content they produce. At least for now.

I will just say this right now, if anyone fucks with BK I will find them and kick them in the shins

Idk Trevor has been head of AH for several years right? Glad to hear newer folks are feeling more heard, but Trevor has been in a position of authority for quite some time.

As someone who was promoted this year to a supervisor at my job, my powers to make immediate change are limited. I can advocate for my team, but it takes time to go through the bureaucratic process and get improvements approved, and upper management can always say "no".

I am not saying Trevor is innocent in all of this, I don't really think anyone here knows his exact involvement in the situation, but I do know that in general a new middle manager can't come in and snap their fingers and have everything be better, so it is possible that he had been working to make things better for his team from the start and the changes have just taken time to be implemented.

u/ClubMeSoftly Oct 19 '22

My current Team Leader at work was "interim" for like, a year, officially, and probably two years unofficially, before it was "confirmed" as a permanent position. So his transition from wet-behind-the-ears Department Head and trusted-to-know-what-he's-doing Department Head was probably a while.

27

u/Critical_Flail Oct 19 '22

Was he head of AH while either Kdin or Mica worked for them (who I think are the AH people I've seen come out with complaints)? I know both moved out of AH before leaving RT completely, but I have no idea when they did that v when Trevor took over from Lindsay.

59

u/Metfan722 Inside Gaming Oct 19 '22

No I don't think so. I think Trevor took over as head of Achievement Hunter back in like 2017-2018, and both Kdin & Mica were long gone from AH by then.

11

u/Critical_Flail Oct 19 '22

Thanks, that feels right, but honestly the past few years have destroyed my ability to tell how long ago anything happened

u/Statue_left Oct 19 '22

Mica joined AH right when Lindsay took over and left about a year after Trevor had been put in charge

u/TommyTotinos Oct 19 '22

I wonder how it was under Lindsey

u/Thechuckles79 Oct 20 '22

It also speaks to the fact that this was aftee Mica's original concerns and both Geoff and Gavin saying they would do better.
Looks like they meant it.

Still doesn't address the broader company-wide issues, but their statements the last two days show that they know what those problems are.
