Observation

theresa · ‎09-13-2010

Last night watched show with Harry and Shawn and Harry repeatedly told Shawn how much Elton and David loved her. Apparently they have more shows in the works mentioned LA and France. Perhaps these other hosts who are leaving (Jenn Coffey) are making the right decision moving forward with their own lives. This happens in every day jobs with jealousy and favoritism and is the reason why employers lose good employees. This could be what's going at the Q certain hosts and vendors get preferential treatment while others who are equally qualified don't. Sometimes you just know when enough is enough and move on to better opportunities. I congratulate Jenn Coffey on her decision she was a great host and excellent presenter. I do see a lot of favoritism with Shawn and perhaps others are getting tired of it.

@theresa It does happen. Many years ago I was working for an Eye Doctor who had 6 practices at the time with several Doctors in each Office. We all had a salary in addition to sales comissions. Our vendors would often give the Doctors perks and nice gifts which my Boss would then use to boost sales by way of contests between the Opticians. So one year, whoever had the highest sales 3 months in a row would win the prize. Well I won, and after that, whenever one of the Doctors would come out of the exam room with a patient they would take them straight to me, for obvious reasons. I was never pushy in sales, it was more that I loved what I do and the people I helped. I was patient, kind, and relatable and got to know my Patients very well. Most of them became friends. I had been asked if I could train others, but it is simply something you can't really teach. I myself am drawn to watching Shawn for the same reasons. She's real, with all her flaws, but she's fun, happy, and loves what she does and her excitment is contagious. No Boss or Company in their right mind wouldn't take advantage of that.

If it hard to believe that Elton and David are sitting around watch the Q enough for that

I think it has more to do with personality and who would be more "compatible" with a particular guest or vendor.

I agree a lot with the OP. It is also possible that people are getting out while there is a work place from which to look for a job. It is always easier that way.

I don't know about preferential treatment but I do know I'm tired of Slatkin and I'm tired of hearing him and Shawn puffing about Elton John and their freaking candles.

$$$ generated = hosting gigs.

@KittySoftPaws there are a lot of other qualified hosts on the Q but it seems Shawn takes that extra mile. Example doing the pod casts and one of the leads of Fab over 50. She's believable to a certain audience and if the Q is getting lots of sales from her they will continue to use her with guests. I really don't understand the hype about Elton John and Harry's candles. It's the same situation with John Legend and skin care. I can name other celebrities on the Q and really don't get it. If they were leaving the profits to charities it would be a great gesture of generosity.
