They typically say that customer service jobs are the jobs that make you hate people. They allow you to see how rude, unpleasant and ungrateful people can really be. I know I have "diarrhea of the mouth" when it comes to Jaguar Productions, but I feel like this job (or campus programming in general) should fall under the customer service category.
We invest thousands of dollars to bring events to campus that are freaking FREE to students, and it legitimately seems like NO ONE is satisfied with them. On a campus of over 15,000, how is it that I can count on 2 hands how many people show up to our events? That is just ridiculous to me. It's embarrassing to have to try to explain to an artist why virtually no one is in attendance. It's not like we don't advertise. We advertise the hell out of everything. Facebook, Twitter, text, newspaper, email, campus calender, Instagram, Word of Mouths, sheet signs, flyers... people are clearly going around campus with their eyes closed.
If at all possible, I just want us to go one year without doing ANY events. Just to see how much we would be missed. Then we could stop breaking our backs over large scale events that no one claims to know about. We'll get a well deserved break and there would be some truth behind the much-uttered phrase "There's nothing to do on campus!"
Damn right. Ingrates.
