Elder Senior Management Team Online

SantieClaws · January 2022

This one has just heard about a bold new meeting strategy.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/video-games/2022/01/20/xbox-activision-blizzard-phil-spencer/

This one suggested the same thing in the trade she follows in the game of Outside World and was told no.

She then attended all teams meetings as an animated white cat for six months before a somewhat angry e-mail insisted that she stop.

Aside from her obvious thoughts about technology needing to become acceptable in a dusty old corporate culture she has some other thoughts. Questions really. Perhaps you would be kind enough to raise them at the next meeting?

Was this meeting held in a tavern or a house?

If a house which one and do you think there is one property above all others that is best for such a gathering?

How many attendees were khajiit?

Was anyone wearing a jester costume?

Will you be introducing plates of dry corporate biscuits as a furnishing item soon?

What did you use for coffee?

Did Mr Spencer use one of the available thrones and if so which one?

How could anyone tell Santie No? Corporations absorbing more companies is inevitable as profits driven marketing fuels every corporation but, to exclude a charming Khajiit is just bad business this one believes.

Psst - Hey Zenimax - ya'll need to hire Santie in the Outside World so that:

a) She can once again attend Zoom meetings as herself
b) provide her creative writing skills to the world of Tamriel

...but at the very least please answer the questions above. We're waiting!

I don't understand.

In summary.

The senior management held a meeting with their new owner.

The meeting took place in Tamriel.

This one wishes she could do the same and is also cat nosy about the meeting itself.

Thanks for the explanation but what senior management team? And how does this tie into the linked article?

The senior management team at ESO. It is mentioned in the article.

I don't understand that catty way of writing but the little I did understand is that you want Phill Spencer to create a character in ESO and meet you in a tavern in Tamriel?

And then discuss pointless things like coffee?

If by some strange quirk of fate you manage to do that I will give you my soul, I will be your humble servant for life...

That's going to cause me a lot of problems with my girlfriend, but I'll see how I solve that later, one step at a time.

No no no. Paws a mercy!

They already did that. This one just had some nosey questions about the meeting that has already taken place.

I'm guessing a lot of these meeting attendees were below any Champ lvl, that would be my question.

In my pre-coffee state, I read that as punishing item.

I think they make those biscuits out of blown-in attic insulation, dryer lint, and sugar.

Having meetings in-game sounds fun!

Of course, if my behavior during PVP guild meetings was any indication, I'd be bunnyhopping, riding my mount around in circles, or spamming Purge so I could get those pretty Meritorious Service sparkles on people.

SilverBride · January 2022

So that article said that ESO senior management had a meeting in Tamriel? On characters? And you want to know what their meeting was about?

Not really the super secret corporate details

This one has no interest in those.

Just the little things above. What costumes they used? Where they held the meeting?

Maybe even a screenshot?

That kind of thing.

For those who won't read anything longer than a tweet - here's the part of that article Santie is talking about...

(Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil) Spencer cautioned against a “workspace-only” vision for the metaverse.

“I’ve really been advocating internally in the company that gaming will be a catalyst for us and I can see how some of that functionality moving into enterprise scenarios and workplace scenarios can be beneficial,” he said. “But I don’t think anybody should pretend that all this stuff isn’t being rewritten. I had a meeting today with the ‘The Elder Scrolls Online’ team and we did our leadership team [meeting] in-game. That’s as much of a Zoom call as anything else!”

Hmm. Interesting. Well, they obviously did it on XBox. Voice works there.

DarcyMardin · January 2022

I wish I could convince some of the professionals I know to make characters and meet up in ESO. It might make the inevitable meetings a lot more fun!

This is from the interview with Phil Spencer the CEO of Xbox:

"... I had a meeting today with the ‘The Elder Scrolls Online’ team and we did our leadership team [meeting] in-game. That’s as much of a Zoom call as anything else!”

So who needs Zoom when you could log into ESO to hold your real life meetings?

Yea I get that now, but I was really confused at first.

Thanks.

SammyKhajit · January 2022

If this one tries to host a work meeting in ESO, it’ll be disastrous:

Someone will get stuck at character creation, dazzled by the array of choices and can’t get out.

Another will be maxing out their crowns shopping/browsing on the crown store.

A conservative employee will rail against the sight of “transvestite orcs”, starts dueling (and gets t-bagged 😹☕️).

A progressive employee will complain about the lack of class diversity and that most players seem to be sorcerers, logs off, starts online petition.

This one will just sit alone at the Rosy Lion Inn, wondering why nobody has showed up.

WhiteCoatSyndrome · January 2022

I dunno. I know if I had all my meetings in Tamriel I’d wander off after a minute or two to loot nodes, and we’d never get anything work related accomplished.

Wait. That’s how most meetings end up anyway.

I take it back, this would be an excellent format for meetings!

Sylvermynx · January 2022

Eh, considering the meetings I've had to deal with in state employment (welfare division initial intake) and private employment (a construction firm - for which I was the office manager; and a major trucking corporation in this state - for which I was the fuels desk manager) - meeting in ESO would have been a HUGE relief....

JJOtterBear · January 2022

every day we move closer and closer to VRMMO's (ala sword art online) and i couldn't be more psyched.
