His post from
this reddit thread (a) 1 year ago after joining offbrand as Director of Strategy.
Is this what you call "Fixing it", Maldy?
He was riding so high back then, before RoachGate, before SKG deigned to defy him. Such a beautiful narrative.
Complaining on socials won't fix this, Jason.
Was that an actual job or just a figurehead? I'll assume that a small video game developer isn't necessarily ran like a traditional enterprise and even assume Maldy's background is totally legitimate and he absolutely excelled wherever he went, but he was never in the career pipeline for a Director of Strategy position. Hell, he was never particularly close to earning the Director title if it were a legitimate business.
There's not a spec of his work history that has jackshit to do with strategy either.
FFS, according to his LinkedIn, the most senior position he had prior was either as an engineer or specialist. Aka, not management. To provide an analogy of sorts, on paper his work history is akin to shift supervisor (not even manager LOL) at McDonald's and the Director of Strategy is the dude looking at which areas to expand to, research new menu items, how to renovate stores for increased growth, etc.
One of 4 things happened:
- It was a figurehead position and he's bringing bad attention.
- He was awful and this was the time to cut bait since the company wouldn't deal with spergs yelling at them for firing Maldy.
- A mix of the first 2, but the spotlight on Mald highlighted he's full of bullshit AND the entire industry hates him now. Again, providing the best opportunity they'll ever have to cut losses.
- Whatever bullshit story he's rolling with.
Again, I know next to nothing about that company or the video game industry so it may be standard practice to hire someone like him for that role, but it wouldn't make sense in any serious industry. UNLESS he was purely a figurehead which I assume was the case.
