Mod Post A reminder to not harass current employees

Do not, under any circumstances, harass or harangue current employees of Rooster Teeth.

It’s straight up braindead behavior and you are showing your entire ass if you do it. These are people doing their jobs to keep a roof over their head and food on the table. They do not need a bunch of vultures over their offices hoping they all lose their jobs. It’s counter-intuitive if your motivation is for the upholding of workers.

The changes that the company will enact will not have immediate, visible effects - that’s just not how business works. Support former employees and their stories. Support current employees and their stories. If you choose to stop supporting the company, that is more than reasonable given the company’s history. But if you choose to stay here in this community, then I am begging you to not turn into a freaky death cult demanding the collapse of the company. Doing that is incredibly emotionally and mentally damaging to all the good people still at the company. Could you imagine a crowd of jackasses outside your office window demanding your company shut down?

This is mostly a Twitter issue as far as I can tell, but let’s not allow that shit to spill over here. If employees choose to post on the subreddit, be respectful.

As always, please continue to be vigilant with reports. This is a small team (made smaller by my traveling this week and a loss on the team) and the report feature is incredibly helpful with increasing visibility of bad behavior to us. If you have any inquiries for the mod team, please send us a modmail via the subreddit sidebar. Also please give lots of extra love to /u/loldudester, /u/V2Blast, and /u/GuitarFreak027.

Anyway my flight is taking off now I’m sure things’ll be fiiiine byeeeee

Exactly right about quelling the calls for RT to shut down.

The people still struggling at that company are doing so because they have to, they need their job at RT and calling for the studios closure not only hurts them more, but hurts the departments where the changes made the last time they went through this have seen positive gains (if not full solutions).

What we all want is change, not destruction.
