Questioning GM Decisions

wait, how did quitting uthgaard quitting* have anything to do with trolls again

Example:

Lets say your the regional manager of a fast food chain. You work hard. Your employees work hard. The food is very good, in fact, it's so good many people don't consider it to be fast food. You enjoy what you do, even though the pay isn't so great- it's rewarding enough on its own to see smiling faces of happy customers.

One day, you're opening the restaurant only to find out that your so-called "loyal customers" are stealing from the store counters. To prevent this measure you remove the napkin and ketchup dispensers for two weeks to prevent further theft. You say "we will allow you to use these again in two weeks, but until then the customers who were caught stealing are not welcome in our establishment." All hell breaks lose, suddenly people are questioning every decision you have ever made as upper management. You no longer feel as though the hard work you've put into making this a great place is being respected. You wish it wasn't this way, but clearly part of the community that keeps you "in business" has ulterior motives to gain a ketchup and napkin advantage over the rest of your customers. You feel as if somehow the community is blaming YOU instead of the people who outright stole from what was potentially usable napkins and ketchup by everyone.

It'd make me quit too. Odd/Bad example but I think it gets the point across. Why do something when all you get is flak from the community? Instead of the well deserved respect you earned. Doesn't matter if you like the manager on a personal level, the food is fucking delicious and you'll keep going back.

Apparently nobody who reads these forums understands why Uthgaard left?

Most of us do, the others can be directed to a thread in which it is appropriate to discuss that matter, maybe in one which you would like to start. This is not the appropriate thread to discuss Uthgaard specifically. This thread is about calling attention to the fact that a group of people are posting threads that are highly critical of the staff of p99, which may also be detrimental to the server in the long run.
