…wasn’t that literally the job
Cleaners mistake art work for rubbish, throw it out
More on topic and on the subject of staff bits and associating them with characters, I tend not to mind so much but I also typically only really invest my emotional energy in places that are run by people I already trust. If I’m on a Faraday game, for instance, I already have a rough idea of what I can expect from Faraday as far as professionalism, ethics, and so forth. So I don’t tend to worry so much if she decides to spend her downtime playing Ensign Fuggedaboudit rather than her ‘public’ character of Corporal Wordsmith.
What I do hate is when staff have characters in positions of authority. NPCs are a different thing, they’re storytelling tools, but if your personal player character is in a position of authority and you are in a position of OOC authority, I do look upon that with askance. So I can understand expanding that level of suspicion/distrust to staff in a more general sense and becoming frustrated or feeling violated when staff aren’t 100% transparent about everything all of the time.
