Judging from your actions here on I-Club.... And stories from other BAIC members. I could say the same about you. Not dealing with customer service, just as a person.

Lots of stories about everyone everywhere. Its never ending.. Too much drama..

 

No, I know. Hence, how long you were going to last without Jerry. Remember what you said if Jerry left?

 

Yea.

 

I concur.

 

whoa!..Jerry Left?...WTF!!

 

So does this mean AHQ is going the way of GruppeS?

So is Kevin going to be running AHQ?

 

I had a feeling you wouldn't take it as the constructive criticism it was. I'm not even going to respond to the actual context of your post, in hopes that it was written in anger without actual thought.

Dude, that comment I made was meant 100% as constructive criticism, don't take everything as a personal attack. I could have outlined everything I felt you handled horribly, but I didn't, because it wasn't that kind of post. My comment was 100% drama-free, it is responses like yours that instigate drama, the snide little comments. My comment had nothing to do with you as a person, only your skills in the customer service industry as the spokesperson for a shop. Your remark was towards me as a person. That is where the difference is and the problem lies.

I'm sorry I'm not going to sit there and pat your back saying "you were the best front deskman ever!" No one does anything perfectly, but its being able to accept where your shortcomings are that improve your skills or help you redirect your efforts into a better suited realm.

 

I see nothing here that couldn't have been said via PM instead, IMHO.

In just posting something like this publicly, you're creating drama even if it's not your intent.

The old adage comes in handy here: if you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all. And if you really care about a fellow BAIC'er's personal growth, why not address the matter in private instead? If you're Biblically inclined: "Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother." - Matthew 18:15
Just my 2 cents.

 

The childhood adage of "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all" is taught to us as kids, because as kids we lacked the mental capability for constructive criticism (both giving and taking). As adults, we should be able to take constructive criticism properly and use it to our advantage. It is the continuing use of childhood adages beyond childhood that have created a population that cannot take constructive criticism (do you still use the buddy system when in a public place? do you still have the alphabet in print around the wall of your work place?). Constructive criticism is not a bad thing and is not meant to be hurtful.

Should I not offer beneficial advice because someone may refuse to take it for what it is? That does not sound helpful to any community.

Why post here instead of PM? Everyone gets to be involved in the conversation this way, bringing, in theory, more ideas to the table.

EDIT: I, like everyone else, wished him good luck in his new field. Should everyone else have PM'ed him that message too? Or where do you draw the line for public post vs. PM?

 

Who else has been running it?

 

Maybe thats the problem.

Food for thought.
