Treat us as the partners we are …. and I think the majority will be understanding. Treat us as if we don’t matter and must accept the rules as they’re made up as we go along …. and see where that gets a program.
pretty simple to me.
Spot on bb1. Whilst the decision is disappointing I took more offense to the way it was delivered. A post on their blog saying it would only affect a few affiliates (which according to Henry was based on him looking at the February data, yes only one month for the sample). Whenever I read something like that my first thought is always, “then why do it?” Putting that kind of crap in and expecting me to believe it is insulting my intelligence.
Of course their terms state that they must notify us by email as well but this didn’t happen for a couple of days as I only received mine overnight. Hardly the way to treat partners. And don’t get me started on the new stats fiasco…
Bonusgeek also agree about the cleaning house and remembering who is being stand-up at the moment and who isn’t. Your last sentence is not one I agree with though. If he is passing on decisions then I think a better choice of words and dealing with the fall-out would help him avoid a bit of flack.
