@Sarah977
Yeah, once again I'm with you Sarah, I didn't watch the last Chesky rev up session and I have no intention of watching it or any future ones....there is just no point.
If something comes to me that interests me or requires me to take action, it will come to my email and I will consider it and address it.
To sit there and listen to yet more grandstanding does nothing but confuse peoples minds.
It's a bit like using the bloody Sat/nav in the car! You want to get from A to B, and if offers you this multitude of choices.....
Do you want to avoid toll roads?
Do you want to avoid current congestion hotspots?
Do you want to avoid current roadworks?
Do you want to use service routes?
Do you want the shortest route or the quickest route?
In the end you just think F...... it I'l go by the road signs!!!
All Mr Chesky's addresses do is confuse us. I need to plan my future, not consult the 'chocolate wheel' each morning when I get up....give a spin and see where the arrow lobs today!
I would venture to say a high percentage of hosts financial problems have been compounded by listening to Mr Chesky's briefings. He keeps on making hollow nebulous statements that give users false hope that they don't need to take responsible action to help get them through their current dilemma.
It's in the same bag as the host protection scheme......."Look how great we are, host with confidence we have your back covered"!
Oh yeah, what have I been reading here, and on valuepenguin, airbnbhell and wisebread over the past few years?
Any companies statements should be cohesive, accurate and responsible, they should be designed to inform, not confuse.
I have hoped that there would be a subtle shift in emphasis and that we would become more of a close knit organisation, come together in times of crisis but, as @Susan17 says there is not an element of society that Airbnb have not p*ssed off .....
And to line up for more of same-ol, same-ol each week or so........ no, I am sure we have all got something better to do with our time!
Cheers......Rob
