Way to empower and recognize the workers you already have. You think you’re going to fine someone who will “work well with the staff”? Why would any of the staff want a boss who gets to just waltz himself into the dream job?

Stick with your staff and hire from WITHIN!

And some advice for improving their statistics for people who leave, there will always be those individuals who are simply not going to enjoy the “game”. I think some reasons people leave are:

-Mature Content
-Too advanced
-Money needed to purchase things
-Language barriors
-Lag…too many people! You may need to develop a whole new country or world and block off or limit the size of your main one.
-Minimum Requirements
…many more.

You should get a marketing team together and have them concentrate on ways to improve SL without losing all of your current staff by not hiring within.

And I am not apart of the staff…I’m just expressing my opinons on the matter.

This is most amazing topic and propably highest interest story happening in our community nowadays.

I think LL is too scared about people leaving, or deserting, etc, or “time spent connected” I think they have been fooled by their own statistics! I dont think you need to be 24/7 connected to have a great experience and to help harness the nowadays “Barbie Economy” into a real business platform, along other SL challenges that we have commented in other forums. One traditional key to higher griowth is accelerated expansion into world markets.

Since I been here 5 months ago I used to see about 34,000 connected now its almost double that figure, which makes me wonder what they think is wrong with growth? I will tell you why people leaves… SL is just not for everyone. Some people are too busy also. For instance a 20-29 years old mother with small kids and a home business will NOT have the time or attention to be here, it is just not there. Many situations are like that.

The more I have learned of the platform and the technology behind the more appreciative I become of the work those guys do, they will never be appreciated, hire a teraphist along the CEO to help LL employees cope with rejection and citizen dissatisfaction. Still deep down know you do a great job and this is a new frontier. Also pay them well please.
