    Wow...

    Evidently there was trouble in paradise and she had enough of it.

    Rabble Rabble Rabble!

    But seriously, and even though she now has no reason to show up here and read this thread any more....

    Thanks for your hard work, for putting up with all of us for as long as you did, and for making the STO forums and community a better place to be while you were here.

    Aw.....Trendy was awesome! *Sniffle*
    Now a LTS and loving it.
    Just because you spend money on this game, it does not entitle you to be a jerk if things don't go your way.
    I have come to the conclusion that I have a memory like Etch-A-Sketch. I shake my head and forget everything. :D

    What a sad day. :( Trendy was awesome! A few weeks back, I made a topic called 'Has PWE finally gone completely mental!?' I should have reserved the title for this moment. Sigh.

    I wondered how long it would be until she got fed up with PWE and left or got fired because they think it's a stellar idea to shoot the messenger.

    I wonder which spineless Yes-Man will replace her to tell PWE what they want to hear.

    Sorry to hear, she was one of the few that actually tried to listen to the player base.

    Perhaps that's why they tried so hard to get rid of her. Sorry to hear it, but she's a talented person, I'm sure she'll move on to something bigger and better.
    Insert witty signature line here.

    Cryptic has a REALLY high turn-over rate with personnel. She was promoted not long ago. Now she's leaving. So...

    Just goes to show, Don't! Don't let them promote you. Don't let them transfer you. Don't let them do *anything* that takes you off the bridge of that ship, because while you're there... you can make a difference.

    Well, I think the issue was - she WASN'T working for Cryptic; she went over to PWE. That said...

    Wow - promoted then (I assume) laid off. Yep, certainly makes me want to work for PWE...oh, wait...

    Not that I would pretend to know Trendy's motivations, but I have the suspicion that she realized she wasn't making much of a difference as the CM of STO and thought having more power as Senior CM of PWE would allow her to make that difference she (correctly) thought the company needed.

    Unfortunately, like so many others who are intuitive and proactive, she likely came to the realization that she didn't have any power when the management at PWE are going to do whatever the hell they want, and she was only there because she showed up on time and worked long hours. Her opinions were not needed or necessary for the continuing adventures of PWE and the search for more money, and she could have felt disenfranchised from a company she showed sincere loyalty to.

    Again, this is all idle speculation but given the evidence of her hard work at PWE and desire to change things for the benefit of the customers, it's hard not to see this as anything else other than a purge at PWE to quell dissenting opinions the bean counters don't want to hear.

    We aren't going to get a better CM than LaughingTrendy, period.​​

    'Promoted' is a fairly common business way of saying you're not wanted any more. They basically make you head of the CM team or something: aka, they take the current job you love away, and stick you with a BS one, which is essentially just a title, hoping you will take the hint, and quit 'on your own accord.' Happened to the CM before Trendy (or the one before that?) too.

    Trendy deserved so much more.

    Actually, the person prior to Trendy was outright fired from all accounts.

    Yeah, that was Smirk, iirc. Which is why I kept the option open that it was the guy before him.

    I'm going to go to Wendy's and order a Baconator to show my solidarity with LaughingTrendy. Also, because bacon is delicious.

    Okay, mostly because bacon is delicious.​​

    Lots of us who work at a nice companies that got bought up by a large underhanded corporation wish the same thing.

    As far as cryptic goes, its really a shame PWE came a long. It saved the game at the cost of what the game got turned into.

    Goodbye Trendy, you will be missed. Really enjoyed having you around when you were CM. Sadly I was worried this would happen when I saw she got "promoted." Shame.

    Good luck, Trendy. Hope to hear from you soon...

    Anybody know whose particular butts need to be put in a sling for this??
