Pending Siddo's Discord Staff Application
- Thread starter Siddo
- Start date
my perspective is that you got ground to a halt by a proverbial brick wall, and cut your losses rather than continue to be ground down by said wall. i love you siddo, but this happened when you were an admin under anna -- what do you think'll happen if you do fill anna's role? how do you expect to avoid having the same situation happen again, this time without anna standing alongside you?
when you resigned, you said: "I will do more harm to myself than good for the community if I continue as staff presently, and so I'd really rather not."
it's been less than 12 days my boy. I have no doubt that you're good for the role, i'm just dubious of the decision on your end.

Let me start with this, This is not because I don't think you'd be a good Communications Lead. I am fully confident if you are to get the role. You will do a mighty fine job in this role.
My concern is less than 2 weeks ago. I watched you chat in circles for almost 3 hours in a locked channel (downfall of community) ending with you resigning on the spot. You post a resignation citing mental health issues. In which I completely understand and relate with as at the end of my tenure, I was at my wits end with how things were transpiring.
Titan put it the best, the wall is going to be there regardless of role. And if It got to you as Admin, it will 100% be there as a lead. I really don't want to see you burn yourself out even worse. Or worsen your mental as a result of this.
If you get the role. I will Stand behind you at all times. I'm just not sure it's in your best interest to go for this.

Siddo, I consider you my friend, and I hope you can view this after this message.
Siddo, you resigned less than 2 weeks weeks ago. You resigned completely, including your advisor rank.
I'll be frank here in that coming back and applying in all honesty for a lead admin position comes off with hubris.
As someone who has suffered from mental health, 2 weeks is nothing when it comes to fixing or even lessening them. Not every mental health situation or experience is the same, and I don't know yours but i hope you can explain what has changed other than a lead admin position being opened since you resigned.
Honestly, I will be giving this application a soft -1 the reasons for you coming back are not the right reasons honestly, and they come off as opportunistic rather than as a want to better the community. I can understand wanting to help, but to do it only because a lead position may be open and to honestly go and apply for it directly is just not it in my opinion.
You've been kinda fast tracked once before now, got burnt out, what's the difference, and how would you explain it to the other candidates who see this application and see the resignation, that know you said it yourself hit a wall and couldn't do it, just to come and apply with this hubris.
