What other common elements are you finding? Gold and Silver 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that mean that a staff member from X Corps can't publicly announce their departure for said corps? I would think so. What are they going to do? Fire him/her? It's like those staff members who were leaking recaps in 2016. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim K Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 3 hours ago, ThePlanets said: I don't work in the field but I would think that announcing your own departure is probably discouraged and may jeopardize your relationship with the new corps. Retirement on the other hand is another story. My guess is the change which would be more a policy than a rule, would mean a corps cannot officially make an announcement, but unless a staff member has this written in a contract or agreement, a staff member is free to say whatever he/she likes, as long as it is true and not slanderous. The corps can ask the staff member leaving to be quiet, and professionally and ethically the staff member should, but enforcing it is a whole different matter. I can't see how it will hurt the staff member's relationship with the new corps, unless it is controversial and the current staff have not been notified, but it does create bitterness with the former corps. If the staff member is highly qualified and sought after, there is often bitterness between the staff and the old corps and bitterness between the old corps and new corps. Drum corps is run like a business, but many aspects are personal. It is never the fault if a corps a staff member leaves even if contracts are not honored or pay is withheld or dispensed at a later date. A staff member who accepts a better offer is not loyal, a staff member who is acquired is stolen, going to greener pastures even if you need a change can be viewed as selfish. Drum corps is a small community in the grand scheme of things and it gets personal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
