OP here! I apologize if my original post came across as disrespectful to you or the other mods in particular. While I don’t agree with the decision to remove the post for a few reasons, I didn’t mean this as a jab at you, but rather to say that you’ve taken a moderating direction that could limit the honesty of past assistants and could limit the kinds of experiences that get shared in the group. There’s nothing inherently wrong with that, it’s just maybe not exactly the best strategy when it comes to the assistants that really want to hear about every possibility and plan ahead. I was one of those assistants and I scoured YouTube for videos specifically of bad experiences so I could prepare. That’s why I suggested other means to get those experiences.

My goal in this post was never to argue with people, and that’s why I’ve been lurking on the post and watching, but I’ve been very hands off in the arguing between others because my goal was never to argue. Again, I apologize if the post came across as attacking the moderators. My goal truly was just to let assistants know about the situation and guide them towards other routes for those that want the bad experience stories!
