Discover the HWC Apron in Our Tour of Spring 09 Product Room | YouTube Video

SUMMARY

The forum discussion centers around a YouTube video showcasing the HWC apron and other products from the Spring 09 Product Room. Participants express concern over the potential violation of company policy regarding the unauthorized filming and sharing of product information before its official release. Jane Miller, a known consultant, is identified as the speaker in the video, leading to debates about her awareness of the rules and the implications of her actions. The consensus indicates that while excitement may have driven the posting, it reflects poorly on the community's adherence to company guidelines.

I agree- taping for a cluster meeting is one thing, since it's only shared with other consultants (or prospective consultants). But posting it on You Tube is flaunting the rule breaking.

I also forwarded it to Jane Miller.

why not just delete it from this group posting. THis has ruffled many consultants feathers. I agree it was probably wrong. But she was probably very excited to share w/ her team. and had an oops moment.


Just delete the post and let move on :)

Lots of cool and excing stuff ahead!

Sorry, I don't think it was an oops moment - I believe she is fully aware of what she did.
 
Off topic - nice new PIC Linda:)!
 
Looks like the video has already been pulled :)

does the video actually play - or just appear that it's loading?

It plays the whole thing.
 
If it's against policy, why didn't anyone stop her? Do they say it's okay as long as it's going to only be viewed by other consultants- and then she crossed the line?
 
I don't know much about You Tube, I just have viewed a few things at times. How do people submit things on there? Would this person be registered in some way for HO to find out?

Oh well - it's not playing for me. HO will get to it soon.
 
I'm guessing that she thought of this as the easiest way to share it with her team and didn't think that others would find it. There is nothing about "Pampered Chef" in the title that would lead you to it.

I don't disagree that HO needs to deal with it ... but I do hope she doesn't lose her status. The videos should be pulled and she should be warned.

Several people have crossed the line just because they didn't know the line was there.
 
I watched it yesterday but just tried again and received a message that "This video has been removed by the user." so I guess someone let her know....
 
But her Chicken In and Chicken Out videos are still there....
 
Along the same lines as Di...
Her narrative also didn't sound like she was addressing the public, but rather fellow consultants (her cluster maybe?). So maybe she really had intended for it to just be for them. And that's why I was asking about knowing who submitted it to YouTube. Is there a chance that someone else could've put it on there? Or she thought it was only going to be seen by her cluster? I just would give her the benefit of the doubt, unless someone here knows her and her true intentions. Oh well, I guess HO will deal with it, and then she'll know and understand the rules for sure. :)

Oh okay! I see how it all goes now! She has done things like this before. I just watched those chicken videos. I mean that's cute and all, but that is definitely wrong. Hopefully HO will spell things out for her so she knows where the lines are!
 
My guess is that she posts a link to the videos on her web site, then e-mails everybody with a link to the video.

I DO wish there was a video sharing website that was NOT public, because honestly, I think this is a good idea.
 
It also could bring the term on-line show a whole new meaning! ;)
 
One comment I have:

This person should not be posting the video on YouTube, but shame on HO. They should have this information on CC as soon as Leadership is over! They have had the info. for months I'm sure! People just want to know what's new. If someone can go to Leadership, tape a video and post it, why in the heck can't HO have the info. posted in a timely manner!

Just my opinion.
 
I totally agree with you Rhonda! They shouldn't keep us waiting.
I also think that the person that posted those videos wasn't doing it to sabotage Pampered Chef or HO!!

Let's not forget she is one of us!

The policy is clearly stated under conferences.
I also wondered why no one stopped her. Could it be that the people in the product showcase room at that time were newbies?
I think we get so miffed, because most of us are very careful to follow the rules.
