Well, Today has mainly been filled with Tavern Drama! Apparently, a WhatsApp group was set up when people were making arrangements for the Tavern on Tour 4 event so they could arrange to meet up etc. This group had then (like you do) chatted about different topics, including men and members of the singles lounge. A female member of said group (let's call her Suzanne) had screenshot and shared info from the chat with various people which has caused a shit storm.
A male member (let's call him Mo) then decided to post publically in the group that sub groups had been set up for the purpose of slagging off members and Admin was in these groups. All of this then had to be investigated (Miss Marple style) and it transpired that NOBODY from admin was in these groups and even though some members of admin had been made aware of these groups, there was not really anything we could do as this was outside of the tavern. Mo refused to accept that admin wasn't involved and continued to shit stir, saying we need to sort it out??? What?? Do you see a landlord of a real pub getting involved if customers have been on a night out elsewhere and slagged off other customers?
It not only caused drama in the Tavern but also upset members of the admin team as they were being accused of being party to all this. Most of this drama stemmed from one person (Suzanne) who was removed from the Whatsapp group for sharing info and then made it her mission to let people know about the WhatsApp group and what was being said etc.
I always follow Rupaul's philosophy where gossip is concerned, which is, "What other people think about me, is none of my business". I'm sure if we all knew what our friends had said about us at one time or another, we would have no friends. Sometimes ignorance is bliss.
All of this caused everyone on the team a load of stress to the point that 2 members were considering leaving. Nobody needs this kind of stress when they are doing an UNPAID job and putting in all the hours they do.
I told the two members to sleep on it and I would speak to them tomorrow.
Also still haven't managed to get hold of Carla, I hope he is okay.
