Questions - Student Org Night

[Jake]

OK, I'm not gonna quote Cody's wall of text but this is in reply to it.

Those suggesting a change in officers are voicing their opinion. Taking that and merely saying "why didn't you run" smacks of little kids going "Oh well you loooveeee chocolate? Why don't you marry it?!" The idea here is not to oust the four of you, it's to improve the way things are going for the three-ish months you have left to make an impact on the club and on its' members.

Not having a car or license entirely, and not having a car capable of attending an autocross (a Liberty is terrifying to drive in a straight line on a paved road) are two different things. Just saying.

Regarding Red Bull. It's a really cool job that you have with them. I saw what you were doing on Facebook with the ski/board thing. I know you're busy. But let's take that into a business perspective since, well, you're a Bidniss major and all.

Right now, I'm essentially the editor-in-chief for the website I work on. My boss/editor-in-chief left right as I was made full-time. Therefore, I'm doing her job and mine at the moment. I have people who report to me and help get stuff done (kind of like your officers), some higher-ups who oversee me (Drs. Thomas & Borg) and both internal and external partners who provide content and insight (hrmm, sounds like alumni).

Like I said, I have a lot on my plate right now... just like you and Red Bull and MM. The problem is, I can't disregard our social media, editorial and partnerships to focus entirely on, say, analytics. I have to keep a hand in all of that, every day. It's not that I'm doing groundbreaking work every single day with everything, but if I don't show some involvement, my performance will get called into question. That's what this is all about.

I don't really care how busy you are. I've been there in college and my life sure as hell hasn't slowed down since graduation. You need to make the time to read and post on here and be accountable for what your club is doing, or what it appears to be doing. We aren't in HBurg, we don't know what is going on, and all we have to go on is what we see on the forums and who shows up to events... both of which have been lacking this year.

You have an Android phone... spend the $3 to download Tapatalk and reply to this stuff on the bus, or in between classes. It takes so little time, which is why we're all so incredulous that we don't see anything from three of you. Three days of absence on here is an eternity - if you were in a really busy patch with some other stuff, as it appears Kristin is, then a reply such as hers would have been the proper thing to do. That way, we at least know you're keeping abreast of things and will be back later. If you don't do that... then it looks like you just don't care. It's a perception thing.

I gotta get some stuff done before I go home today, but I think this about covers what I wanted to cover.
