at the very least their statement seems to have spooked the truck protestors, who have called things off for the moment to make sure all their ducks are in a row legally (from what I can gather). might just be a bunch of legal nitpicking from here on out

What I'm getting from all this is that the guys making decisions at PMoon absolutely cannot handle any kind of pressure or being yelled at, and will make dumb decisions quickly to try and make it stop. Between the Keter realization thing and this, that seems to be their big issue.

As far as I could gather from employee reviews translated on Twitter (aka take with a grain of salt) Project Moon is a company that pays quite well but is also a complete circus as far as high level management, so it might be that Kim Ji-hoon thinks paying well is taking care of employees but just functionally lacks the skills to actually manage people properly, absolute best case scenario. Funny that the thing every employee seems to agree on is that the food is great, though, I think the HamHamPangPang staff must be doing an excellent job.

bad management is certainly consistent with all the delays and the Canto IV shitshow in particular, really sounds like KJH needs to suck it up and hire a 31st, maybe even a 32nd employee with better experience in that area

Quackles posted:My take: It does sound like they're trying to say "we call take-backsies and didn't actually fire her, the people who showed up at our office may get sued", but… I can’t tell for sure because I can’t really read translated Korean legalese! Not properly, anyway. That is exactly backwards. It's saying they did fire her (legally!) and will sue everyone who said they did anything wrong, ie: the van protesters, the news outlets who reported on this, and the employees who aired their dirty laundry. It is 100% doubling down on "we did nothing wrong." Clarste fucked around with this message at 01:15 on Aug 4, 2023 |

I think Project Moon puts out some amazing stories and games, and I'm not going to stop being a fan of them as a whole, but I think even with my language barrier it's become pretty clear that the things I like about Project Moon are in spite of poor management, not due to good management.

Well if not dismissal it's a warning or whatever?

Well if not dismissal it's a warning or whatever? it was some routine contract thing that was likely related to letting it run out, I think? I dunno, the point is that whoever reported that exaggerated the hell out of it so it turned into a surprise 11pm firing, and the article was later quietly edited and that part was retracted. Considering the firing was already lovely as hell I dunno why they felt that they had to spice it up for the public. also lol if true

Considering the firing was already lovely as hell I dunno why they felt that they had to spice it up for the public. It sounds like they basically told her they wouldn't be renewing her contract when it ran out and instead terminating it, for the breach. Which isn't firing but is still pretty lovely to do. The removing her art from the game that she already made could be part of whatever contract they have (something like we cannot use art from non-contracted artists) or a capitulation, but it is lovely either way.

Wow, new identities. I wonder who is going to get fired next because somebody yelled hard enough at PM. I am so excited, this is going to be great. What do you mean a bunch of talent left? I guess all that's left to do is to play Canto 7.5 while the office of PM burn to the ground because we didn't have enough skin in Yesterday's Soup.

itll probably keep making the same amount of money (more than it ever has before) but theyve lost a ton of their fan passion and support. thatll probably build back up some over time but itll be a different kind than it used to have. the transition to just another gacha company is complete.
