Unkosten im Kurier
Hey Dirk, lies doch mal den Artikel Unkosten bei uns :-) Will aber nicht klugsch...
Ansonsten: ich finde Rebeccas Artikel prima und die Rummäkeleien auf der Kurier-Disk ziemlich kleinlich. Ich hab letztes Jahr mit Rebecca bei WLM in Hamburg zusammengearbeitet (leider zu spät) und fand das sehr freundlich, kompetent und professionell. Vielleicht habt ihr das Problem aller Serviceleister. Wenn du 365 Tage unter der Dusche stehst und das Wasser läuft, rufst du nicht bei dem Wasserwerk an und bedankst dich. Aber wehe es geht einen Tag mal nicht :-)
Dass du bei der Anmache immer so ruhig und freundlich bleibst, finde ich super, würde ich mir für mich wahrhaftig auch wünschen. Gruß aus Hamburg --Pankoken (Diskussion) 22:50, 25. Apr. 2014 (CEST)
- Hallo Pankoken. Danke für die netten und aufmunternden Worte, die ich gerne weiterreiche. Und ich kann es ja nachvollziehen: wenn die Fotografen soviel Herzblut in ihre Aktion stecken, ist es ärgerlich, wenn die dann falsch dargestellt wird. -- Dirk Franke (WMDE) (Diskussion) 23:04, 25.
