I got a call this evening asking me to step down as a senior ref. I asked what would happen if I refused and was told that it wasn't actually a request. I was told I could stay on in a lesser position.

And the list of competent members of staff gets shorter and shorter.

With no disrespect intended to many of the hard-working, competent and dedicated volunteer staff members of the LT, the problem with treating your volunteers like something you just found on the sole of your boot is that the pool of willing and able volunteers gets smaller and smaller.

When you have a good-sized pool, you get to choose the best. The smaller the pool, and the more good ones leave or are cast aside, the lower the collective talent and quality you have to select from, and the poorer the end-result gets. This isn't politics - it's mathematics!

When I started playing, there were a huge band of excellent staff members. Over half of these have now left, having been treated appallingly by the LT's management. If they were in paid employment, over half of these cases would actually be actionable.

In all honesty mate they've done you a favour, at least now your not slogging your guts out every damn year for a company that doesnt give a fuck.

I for one thought you were one of the best refs in that field.

Well bugger. I'm sorry to hear that. That's a real loss to the team. But as others have said, more time to devote to important things like the wedding planning and the degree.

Hope you're as okay as you can be.
