I’ve worked in HR, been a leader of sorts… Did many things to help grow the community that I had grown to love at the time. \ Over time, I watched this very fun and budding community turn into a toxic, power-hungry wasteland… And I warned many staff and such. I did my best to try and curb and turn it around, but instead my pleas and suggestions were either twisted, made to fail, or ignored in the process. \ The Syndicate house I was in was manipulated and taken from myself and those who loved it and turned into just another vassal house under Mortem. Before, it was a small, stable house that I and its staff grew into an amazing mini-community, where majority of the members were having lots of fun. Then, all of us, staff and members, were manipulated and turned against one another over time, eventually leading to the fall of yet another great house. They even forced its Discord server deletion, even though a couple other inactive or dead houses still had theirs. \ As for the HR team… Eventually we became non-existent, our numbers never reaching beyond single digits, despite the ever-growing need for us. If you were a Capo, you were essentially useless as a staff member, for any issues that were brought up were Underboss and above, and said issues couldn’t be discussed with you unless it was a Capo level issue. It was a staff role in constant demand, yet we were limited based on our level. \ After finding out all that I know now, I write this in hopes that people understand why so many have left or have become inactive. I and many others have been “punished” for dealing with IRL things, including mental health, and left out of progression, despite many sacrifices I made to try and help the community behind the scenes.Be warned if you are staff… You WILL be worked sick without a drop of pay, yet expected to treat it like a proper job. \ So much for “IRL is more important than RP”. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://info.mortisian.com/anonymous-testimonies/former-staff-testimony.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
