Dear Queenie,
I belong to a group that does community service work. There is one member who works hard for the group but at every meeting they stand up and make speeches that go on and on, in a loud unpleasant voice, and even brag about all the work they do for the group.
They have been asked not to do this, because there have even been some members who have left because of them, but it still happens.
Queenie, what can we do about them?—Angry group member
Dear Member,
The group president – if there is one; otherwise, all the other group members – will have to tell this person that if they do not behave better at group meetings they will be barred from the meetings or even kicked out of the group. Then, if they do not start to behave better, make good on the threat.
No matter how good a worker this person is, you cannot afford to lose more members because of their behaviour.
