nope. dish if you pls
absolutely, friend! this shit long, so the rest is under cut enjoy :)
so i already got beef with this group because 90% of the exec board i had to work with because we were merging the two queer groups on campus into one. and none of them have any sort of “Adulting” skills ie taking notes during meetings, coming to an agreement in 10 minutes, or being precise with agendas of said meetings.
i’m the graphic designer for our pride board (community-based group rather than university). Newly Merged Group from the uni sends in one person to sit in our meetings. we like the idea of working & helping them organize campus pride events and then we have our two days of pride events.
i ask Uni Kid if they preferred me to do their flyer design or if they wanted their graphic designer to do it. Uni kid said I could do it. this is in november of last year.
fast forward a couple weeks ago. somebody from their board told my friend (who’s secretary for our pride group) they was talking shit about me doin the flyer in the groupme. of course, he took pics of it and showed me. the messages go like this, all from their “graphic designer”:
>Yes [campus org] is gonna have their own fucking flyers >Pride didn’t give us any support for our events >So [CAMPUS ORG]’s name is gonna be in OUR flyers >They can fight me about it
Me being me, I was like “Oh Really?” and was about to @ their pride meeting person in our Pride groupme to find out What Was Up. Friend talked me out of it and was like “PLEASE use your cold anger to do that Thing You Do.” thing being my No Shit tone I use in ANY meeting.
So I wait until the next day to address this at our meeting. I’m hearing that campus org’s people might be at the meeting, INCLUDING the graphic designer. I wear stud earrings and have a hair tie ready, cuz if he tries something I’ll be ready. I wasn’t worried about the others tbh because they talk big game but won’t actually do anything. Like they tumblr gays who do the “UwU” type shit and cry if you say the wrong thing in the Wrong Tone. This “graphic designer” is always talking about how he’s in the army, and I’m ALWAYS like “Oh Word? Tell me how the pavement tastes when you hit it.”
So meeting begins. Only ONE person from their org comes to the meeting. I know this guy, he’s soft-spoken but I wanted him to know that I don’t play with this type shit. I told him to take notes, he got his pen and notebook ready.
I say:
>I’m absolutely disgusted by the lack of communication and professionalism within your board.
>From the very beginning, y’all said it was cool for me to do the flyer. Y’all should’ve spoke up and LET US KNOW ASAP when y’all changed your damn mind.
>Y’all didn’t say anything about needing our help for ANYTHING. [Friend’s name] was asking y’all and NONE of you said anything. So there’s that.
>You have wasted my time, energy, and effort. I’m angry, hurt, and honestly disappointed in how y’all conduct your group. You are an OFFICIAL organization housed under [Official University Center Name]. You have reach. To conduct yourselves in this manner is reckless & childish
AND THE FINAL PIECE...
>I’m gonna say this bluntly, as simple as possible. If ANY miscommunication happens, then it’s because it’s a BLATANT LIE. I’m not finishing your flyer design. You’re not getting my photoshop file. You’re not getting the pdf. I’ve already deleted them off the drive. I’m done. Next item on the agenda, please.
Poor guy was shaking. But it’s what he gets for standing by and letting that exec board talk over people in meetings.
EVERYONE on our exec board was behind me. It was great. Anyway, I just checked campus org’s social media and they haven’t uploaded ANY of their campus pride events. And if they do post them, I KNOW the images are gonna look like shit because I know that “graphic designer’s” work. They’re still scrambling to get shit scheduled.
I’ll be happy when it all crashes and burns :)
