You say things like this and yet how much work experience do you actually have? I’ve worked with far grumpier and snarkier people than TubaDiva. If the boss thinks their work is good, they get to keep working. This is not an equivalent situation to brick and mortar customer service anyway. Additionally with volunteers you generally have to put up with personality conflicts. I have seen some doozies in the group I am active in.
You should meet some of the parts guys that use to work for my brother. From the way people complain about TubaDiva, these guys in Brooklyn would have all of you in tears crying to mommy.
Feeling superior much today? Did you really need to take a shot at Guin’s work history to explain to us how you know better? One doesn’t have to WORK in customer service to experience bad and good customer service. I’ve worked with a few surgeons that might have your brother and his Brooklyn boys curled into a fetal position sucking their thumbs. What do I win? I hate to say this to a fellow Yankees fan, but quit being a douche.
I think most of us have worked with people who have no business relating to the public on ANY level. What, exactly, do those people have to do with this situation? Yes, there’s always someone worse out there and in the grand scheme of tyrants, Tuba isn’t bad. Again, so what? Other admins and mods seem to be able to do this job without the shitty attitude.
Most of us wouldn’t want to do Tuba’s job. Just because we wouldn’t want to do it doesn’t mean that we don’t deserve a little respect. It’s great that she’s kind in emails and one-on-one interactions. Nobody is asking her to kiss everyone’s asses, but would it be so hard to dial back on the snottiness on just about every comment made in an official capacity? Is that really too much to ask?
Well played, Tuba. Ignore the thread long enough and some wacky tangent will take care of it and let you off the hook. Now you can just go back to oblivious and next time you are a turd to someone you will have a clean slate. Well played.
Fair complaint, but I guess I get a little sick of **Guin **showing up in these threads repeating the same stale talking points. You are correct, I did take a cheap shot, but how many does **Guin **take in the pit threads she shows up in. Don’t you get a little sick of her yourself? I get that **Tuba’s **unpopular with apparently many, but this latest bit seems like a gross overreaction.
I guess as someone that has not felt Tuba’s jackboots the complaints about bad jokes taken out of context seem ridiculous. She is being blasted for answering a question and closing the thread. A sub-group of the Dope expects her to not be snarky. You would think that they would have gotten the idea by now that most of the Admins and Mods can be snarky at times. They take their cue from the tone of the column.
