Here's What Happened

A: Here's What Happened.
A: I'm not going to mince any words: softowl was nice to some people but really shitty to others.
A: I'm not going to speculate on how she got her job in the first place
B: By being AH's girlfriend
A: i didnt want to say that
A: softowl was What Pumpkin PR. For all intents and purposes, she WAS What Pumpkin.
A: Actually, in fact, Softowl was almost more What Pumpkin (the company, I mean) than Andrew Hussie
A: And that's not a good thing.
A: She kinda took the reins really hard.
A: ...and then fucked up on a huge fucking level at every conceivable mark.
A: The first thing was the music team...
A: shit
A: as [removed] I imagine will bring up, or might want to bring up
A: She fucked over nick smalley really bad
A: softowl also got really buddybuddy with some other people OUTSIDE of WP, notably [removed]
A: Through process of easy Andrew access and a really shitty attitude she basically ruined the music team by distancing him from it
A: essentially artificially breaking the trust he had in it
A: using the bill bolincident as a springboard
A: ANYWWAY. Long story short, after that, she used that distrust to bring people she liked from outside WP into the fold
A: I can't speak to andrew as a person in any other regard
A: but i don't think andrew is to blame re the music team
A: I think andrew is bad at management, perhaps?
C: As far as I can tell as an outsider, he was just very bad at delegating
A: i don't think andrew is to blame for softowl turning him against the music team
A: fucking hell
A: and the best part is
A: that's literally softowl's fault
A: but that can't be unfucked up
A: she broke it permanently
A: unless someone does a huge big, like, reparation of some kind (???)
A: tldr
A: softowl fucked over the music team, treated the art team kinda like just bland garbage (as far as i know) and her petty bullshit did...not help hiveswap.
A: wp is now in the fucking trash
[some conversation snipped; gist of it is "Hiveswap was apparently hiring music people and the music team was not informed"]
D: There was absolutely nothing publicly announced, I definitely didn't see any job listings anywhere, and I feel like somebody would have said something if there was an application being internally circulated
