That is what I thought.
Isn't this thread about the lack of professionalism, and not the relationships with an ex-staff? =/
I was gonna say more, but after reading Nei's post, I don't really see the need to (it was more of a "phew, he didn't think his actions of announcing those things [not what he said] were correct" kind of thing).
Edit: Actually, one thing. About that being humans and having feelings and being a volunteer.
Yes we are humans, yes we have feelings, and yes we (anyone here) are volunteers (for whatever cause).
So?
Just because people are volunteers (note: not targeting Nei now, but talking in more of a general term) doesn't mean they have the right to act unprofessionally, or that we should forgive them. Sure, volunteers can like/dislike anyone they want, but they're not supposed to bring it out to all the customers and such when they are representing a company, especially when we actually
choose to volunteer our time for a certain job.
I think it's important to show your respect for the job in front of customers. I mean, if you really don't like it, you can always quit since it's only volunteer (in most cases, anyway).
The only thing (imo) is that we shouldn't "expect" or "pressure" volunteers in spending XX amount of hours on their job and doing XX tasks everyday. For volunteers, quality of work > quantity of work.
But using volunteer as an excuse for not acting professionally is not really... right. I'm not saying volunteers are required to act up to the employee's standards and such, but sometimes, some things are just common sense...
