[Penguicon-Concom] Good bye

[Francinehibiscus at aol.com]

Well, Ron, I totally agree with you that we can't expect to do the same  jobs 
year after year.    
 
I don't want to be match snark with snark  here, but if you think  that the 
thankless task of running registration involves POWER, well, enjoy that  
hallucination.  Running registration and preregistration means working  every month, 
at Pcon, and at other cons.  I'm sure Kimba felt plenty  powerful at the end 
of a twelve hour shift.  
 
What can we, as volunteers, expect?  We can expect to be told  in person that 
after YEARS of doing excellent work, we are  being replaced.  We can expect 
to be offered a reason, I think.  And  yes, I think we can expect a thank you, 
after being led to believe that we were  working on staff for P5, and after 
doing work that would improve the con for the  next year.
 
I myself took over from  a person who was  summarily "replaced".  Ask him 
about it sometime.   I  expect to be replaced myself, any time, for no reason 
whatsoever.  It seems  to be the way this con works.    John assured me that oh 
yes, I  was still the dealers room rep, I was doing a fine job........but 
that's hardly  cause for being kept, it seems.
 
What's the point of this mini rant?  That we're all expendable, I  guess.  
Obviously, we're not anything resembling a team, so why shouldn't  we be?  
 
Francine
