Context: The previous day’s high-salary offers had turned staff retention from a general worry into an immediate problem. At the Monday meeting, the studio needed to discuss how to keep an artist involved in card-game development, and how to answer outside offers with more than verbal assurances.
Today: The Monday meeting proposed using options to retain people. The artist chose to stay, saying she wanted to see the cards go live with her own eyes. That moved the conversation from whether she would leave to how her personal hopes could meet the project’s progress. Options were the team’s proposed arrangement; staying was the artist’s decision at that point.
Impact and next steps: A key artist remained with the project for now, easing—but not removing—the risk to creative continuity that had surfaced the day before. Her wish to see the cards go live gave the team a clear shared goal. The option arrangement still needed clarification, and development had to advance far enough to meet that expectation.
