[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, there is no need to treat people the way that she does. She isn’t yelling at parents who do something wrong most of the time. She’s finding reasons to yell at and condescend to parents. It’s a power trip thing and it’s awful. Let’s not support yelling at people, cutting them off when they speak and belittling them. There is no need for that and it doesn’t help the meet run more smoothly. [/quote]

That’s the thing.  She’s yelling at the parents who are trying to help with the meet. The official above who got yelled at or the hospitality person who didn’t get a deck pass because he/she started working before the event person was even there. The parents she’s yelling at are the ones trying to help the meet.[/quote]
Her job isn’t to make volunteers feel welcome, promote volunteering, etc. She’s not part of the swim meet. She is security. Her role is to manage deck capacity and to ensure no one gains access unnecessarily. As a parent sending minor children onto that deck alone, I’m glad she takes those roles so seriously. I’ll put up with her approach if it means my kid is safer. [/quote]

I hope your nine-year-old is the one she berates and makes cry next, just before her race. [/quote]

I don’t wish that on anyone, but she’s not adding value with that approach, no matter how much anyone is trying (admirably) to fool themselves so.

In every meet, you have dozens of coaches, 10-20 officials, and 3-5 marshals all safe sport certified. There’s plenty of people on deck to ensure a “creeper” doesn’t do anything on deck. Now if it’s a violent situation with a weapon, she’s not helping out there either. [/quote]
