timothy bird Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 Has left bath rugby for a job with tickmaster, the way she was treated shamed our club imo, and was one of the biggest of our many off field mess ups of recent years !

southvillekiddy Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 Agree totally she was such a positive efficient person, really put herself out to help me get my ticket to the Play-off final. Good luck to her wherever she goes but maybe our financial/business managing geniuses at the Club could head-hunt her back to us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phileas Fogg Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 Never dealt with her myself but only heard good things about her I am sure we never had the same ticketing issues when she was with us... Coincidence or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cider-manc Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 Out of interest, how was she treated badly by the club? I believe I read that it involved reduced role/salary cut as well as having members of her team made redundant in a cost cutting exercise. Don't hold me to that though. Funny that she is going to work for the company that was also changed in a cost cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 Was she not sacked by the club? Made redundant due to cost cutting? I know what you mean but saying someone was sacked makes me think that person had done something wrong. All she did was do her job well with a human touch from what I understand. The ticketing system was put in place to be fully automated so people weren't needed, it was also to save money. Ironic when you think how much extra time and money it has actually cost to put right, or back to the level Jayne Maggs had it running. Good luck to her, hope her working life has improved and she will be valued now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timothy bird Posted January 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 She was told that she had to take a 50% wage cut and a 50% staff cut, rather than accept these conditions she walked, a false economy imo, and particularly so as people like price were allowed to continue to wander around doing very little ( or very little that benefited the club ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aizoon Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 Yeah correct - wrong choice of word. Agree "sacked" implies having done something wrong No to me it doesn't - it implies vindictive and incompetent management. "She who works and does her best, Gets the sack like all the rest".

That isn't really relevant to her treatment though. If she was asked to halve her salary then she must have been on a pretty penny (not saying I agree/disagree with the request).

I believe the easy comparrison is against those who through that period either kept their job or had a change in job title to warrant them being kept on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Galley Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 Good luck to her in her new caree , not only did she do great work for BCFC but she was a true city fan as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finbarr_in_z Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 Good luck to her. She always gave excellent service, particulalry when ticket ordering was a bit iffy. She even provided me with her direct phone line. Reading that back it seems like it's full of double entendres, but I'm sure you get the drift.

RedRock Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 Think I've had the pleasure too. Efficient and friendly. A true Club service 'champion'. What a contrast to the current farce of a ticketing system (and that's not a swipe at those who are currently tasked to operate a fundamentally flawed system). My own attendances at AG have dropped off by 50% as I refuse to accept third rate service. I'm one who fully appreciates what SL/JL are trying to achieve but they/ their managers appear deaf to the views of supporters on ticketing matters. Pity.

bristolcitysweden Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 A pleasure to deal with and very competent. She was in involved in the ticketing for Euro 2008. No surprise really. Well deserved.When I tried to book tickets for Wembley on ticketmaster I was not allowed to because I did not have a British post code.

In the Net Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 Was Jayne the lady who went to the World Cup or Euro Champs as part of the official ticketing team? If so, her behind the scenes blog was very interesting. It sounds like she's making a move up the career ladder, good luck to her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
