    <description>&lt;BLOCKQUOTE&gt;&lt;HR /&gt;&lt;a href="https://community.ebay.co.uk/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2477567"&gt;@theelench&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;wrote:&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;P&gt;While I try to have some sympathy for Katie, we should all also be aware of what we are dealing with here.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Is it a coincidence that each new Community Manager looks younger and (with apologies to Katie) more vulnerable than the last?&amp;nbsp; Of course not, senior management knows exactly what they are doing and who will get least "stick" when they implement this sort of outrage.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Is it only me having an overwhelming sense of deja-vu?&amp;nbsp; How many times have we seen this scenario play-out?&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Without warning or consultation something very unpopular is wheeled out, "Poor Katie" (change name as appropriate to whichever outrage comes to your mind) is pushed out to take the flack and helpfully mediate and mitigate the changes&amp;nbsp;&lt;EM&gt;to a point&lt;/EM&gt;.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;But once the point is reached where the managers have already decided that all the concessions&amp;nbsp;they are willing to allow is reached, the manager disappears and no more discussion takes place.&amp;nbsp; Nor do more changes.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;======================================================&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I did ask one of the many community managers who have visited these boards how he felt "being treated with the same level of contempt by ebay management as we buyers and sellers were" .&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;His lack of reply was the best answer possible .&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BLOCKQUOTE&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>
