The badge lady fired!
After a quick conversation with the SSA office this afternoon, I asked
where Arleen was. The answer I recieved was "She was let go"... Anyone know what's going on here? Arleen was the best. -Mitch |

I find out things by calling mine, should work for you, too. -- ----- change "netto" to "net" to email me directly Eric Greenwell Washington State USA |

Is this the way one is supposed to get news about the SSA - by everyone individually contacting their Director?? I hope the directors have a lot of surplus time available! |

Is this the way one is supposed to get news about the SSA - by everyone individually contacting their Director?? About some things, yes. A personnel question like this is probably one them. And surely, once the question is asked on ras and an answer doesn't pop right back, it's time to call a director (that is, if you are really interested in an answer). I hope the directors have a lot of surplus time available! They do. Hardly anyone calls, I'm told. Some members seem to have plenty of time to ask questions on ras, but no time to call and talk things over; others don't call because they don't care. My director has never complained when I call him; in fact, he seems glad that someone is showing interest. I've also contacted (by phone or email) other directors occasionally, and gotten the same good response. Most recently, Cindy Brickner and Jim Skydell. Give it a try, and if you think your director isn't pleased to have you call, remember that next time you vote for one. -- ----- change "netto" to "net" to email me directly Eric Greenwell Washington State USA |

I must give credit to my director, Chip Garner. I sent an E-Mail out to all
the directors before putting the post up and Chip responded within the hour by leaving a message on my voice mail. At this point, we have still been playing phone tag to get a hold of each other. Perhaps it is an emotional subject for me, as I have been working with Arleen since I was 14 years old for badges and records. She always rememberd me, and seemed excited for me as I achieved each goal. And now, when I finally get one of the "Ultimates" in hand (Diamond Goal), I E-Mail with a question and nobody answers it, I call the SSA and they give me the number to some lady I've never heard of. Bottom line is that it's just dissapointing in this world of mail order catalogs to loose yet another personal touch. I'm sure we'll all find out soon what is going on. -Mitch |

Mitch:
Thanks for your e-mail. For legal reasons I am unable to comment on Arleen's departure on February 17. Effective as of that date, Judy Ruprecht has taken over as interim 'Badge Lady', and I have no doubt Dean So much for the "ask the Director" idea. I guess rumors are what we're gonna be left with... -- ------------+ Mark Boyd Avenal, California, USA |

It would get you to this point a lot sooner. The concept is still a good one, but even a good tactic will not work in every situation. Try calling your director if it is important to you. A private conversation is different than something in writing, especially if the Director knows and trusts you. That's my experience. -- ----- change "netto" to "net" to email me directly Eric Greenwell Washington State USA |
