Has the Executive Producer Position been filled?

SystemSystem Member, NoReporting Posts: 178,019 Arc User
I just noticed that the posting on the Cryptic Job Board for the Executive position has disappeared. Could it be that they've filled the position? Maybe they've decided to promote from within. Or, maybe they've just given up trying to find a permanent EP.

    Have any podcasters gone missing in the last 24 hours?

    Probably both of the former. They probably promoted from within to fill it.

    What do executive producers even do?

    I will note: I do believe that when they took this down (which I commented on a few weeks ago), they also added a systems designer posting for STO...

    Hiring. Sets schedules. Decides what everyone else is assigned to work on. Sets and communicates the game's vision while managing the teams.

    Directly or indirectly, what everyone works on gets set by the EP.

    Day to day stuff may get worked out by systems leads but it's the EP's job to work out the plan for one month, three months, six months, and make sure that happens.

    Tumerboy or Logan don't decide what they're working on. There's a management structure that goes up to the EP.

    And the EP also coordinates with Jack Emmert and Zinc.

    Wasn't there a thread weeks ago saying that was removed from the jobs board?

    Well now, that is always a welcomed change.

    HR is more insurance, sexual harassment complaints, ensuring compliance with labor laws, sorting job applicants, recruiting, etc. That's Jamie Mancebo and John Ptucha.

    EP decides what is going on, taking into account what feedback they get, and sets the mission statement for the team, overseeing production.

    I had a boss that did all of those. Plus got upset whenever someone would draw Berny The Angry Snake on the company packaging:

    It looks like all he's done is deactivate or delete his Twitter account, not left Cryptic

    I saw a rumor that he left TWITTER. That was a private account that got closed.

    There's a lot of conflict of interest when you have the boss handle it.



    Yeah. And it showed. Its nice to see that some places divide the responsibility amongst multiple people.

    Something about him not using Twitter. I really can't be any specific than that as I have never used it.

    Branflake already answered it. IIRC, his twitter was set up by someone else and he hardly ever used it.

    Sorry Captains, but I can see this thread going south fast. I already see a couple of things that need to be edited out, so I will give you a few moments to do so :) If you think it should go, then it should.

    Cheers,
