Maybe because everyone that applied look at some of the whinners in this forum and realised it would be too much like thier jr. high school babby sitting job and about as rewarding

I don't think Ubi could afford that many staff to deal with Tree's constant whining.

Just like the engineer is more important than the salesmanager?

Of course they need programmers to finish the product, but they want to sell the (unfinished)product here and now - this creates a bunch of, say - at best averagely happy customers who seek support.
Where will they go?
Bingo.
What do they find?
A mentality of support (edit: communication) which sure has the potential to be improved.

There is no problem in selling a lemon, but you should make sure your service department is prepared to pet the customers, give them the feeling someone is working on their problems and they are taken for serious.
No, I am not talking about all the guys who spent the past 4 years in this forum . I'm talking about the newbies.

I wouldn't have thrown money away for hiring a community manager that caters for what, 100-200 active forum members? Besides, I'm sure any of the hardcore ultra super fanboys would gladly even pay to become the community manager. Imagine all the wet pant they'd have to wash because of Luthier sending them "top secret IL-2 info" to distribute to the screaming hyenas (me included...but not as a hyena, I see myself more like a raccoon, swift and stealthy rummaging through the patch/friday update left-overs of others).

Seriously though, you don't have to be an analyst to figure out that this is good. Especially if it's a matter of more staff. If that's the case then that probably means good financial situation and expanding the staff will probably trickle down benefits -in the shape of substantial patches and dare I mention it...even DLC!!!- for us.

God! there's really a news drought happening in these forums.;)

Oh for heavens sake. Always with the negative waves, Moriarty. You can see why a sense of humour would be a requisite for the job if they ever frequent the forums. Shame really as it would rule out a fair few of our much loved posters from considering applying, disappearing to Moscow and showing us how it really should be done.

Sounds to me like they are expanding, not replacing, so my glass is half full...

"Perhaps in the coming days or weeks of the additional post of additional vacancies."

Filling vacancies, ain't new hires, as in additional "man power"....just sayin
Hence, "exodus". I'm sayin it because Luthier ain't sayin it here...and he oughta.

google translation, funny russsian language...

No I dont think there's an exodus - unless Oleg is hiring too ;)

Why should he post it here? How many people on this forum who have the specific skill sets want to move to Moscow?
Form an orderly cue...

Its pretty obvious the vacancies are targeted at the Russian speaking community.
