Somehow this feels like an unpopular opinion /here/ of all places but I just wanna say I don't give a fuck about management's professional standards. I haven't heard a good word about management from any of our livers and I haven't seen management accomplish anything that any of our livers couldn't have done for the branch entirely within their own power, so why should I or anyone else care about what management thinks is okay? In my eyes management is a superfluous entity that exists purely to make streaming games more difficult through perms autism, and to take a not-insignificant cut of funds that I'm trying to give to the liver and not to them. I know the common response to this is going to be something along the lines of "management is useful for securing sponsorships and access to 3D/events" but 1) plenty of streamers on Twitch are able to secure their own sponsorships either entirely by their own power or through hiring agents (who are subservient to the streamer instead of the other way around), and 2) Pomu managed to get her hands on her own high-quality 3D model long before management opted to give her access to their own, and Selen has shown herself more than capable of hosting events. I see some management apologism here sometimes and some of the livers have asked us not to blame management for various things but personally I'm not going to stop blaming them for everything that goes wrong because they don't seem to exist as anything but a wall to the livers.
TL;DR
management is a parasite that serves no greater function outside of extorting the livers for a paycheck.
