AIBU to think this is absolutely bat shit…..snag tights related

Has anyone else been watching the snag tights/applicant for social media position debacle? I have no involvement in this but have been watching from the sidelines in utter bafflement and now I don’t know if I’m missing something or if this person is truly reaching in order to take offence

So snag tights were recruiting. This person applied, was asked to do a video interview, said yes and was then not interviewed and when snag came back they said all positions were filled, they’d missed her reply and were but would be back in touch when recruiting again. This person believes it was because snag had looked at their social media and decided they no longer wanted to interview them.

This has erupted on both sides with this person posting on multiple social media sites and snag owner Brie seeming to apologise over and over. Admit a mistake was made and that steps were being put in place to resolve moving forward.

That’s it in a tiny nutshell but there’s so much more now including accusations of doxxing.

Is anyone else been reading? AIBU to think the applicant has taken it too far now and needs to move on?

I can't bear this brand and I can't get my head round how 'wet' they seem to come across

All so dramatic. And don't get me started on weird looking overweight men in make up and tights. I find it pretty repulsive but then, I'm delighted not to be their target market

RozHuntleysStump · 07/11/2021 17:49

I like snag tights. Don’t like their marketing. Far too over the top for me. I’ve hidden the beard man one on Facebook. He was on there all the time.

That porn woman is batshit. Regret looking at her Twitter.

JellyfishandShells · 07/11/2021 17:53

She’s quite something - took the first response from Snag as being ‘ you are perfect for us, you’ve got the job bar a few formalities ‘ then got obsessively furious because she didn’t get a response according to her timescale. And spending $800 on tights over the past couple of years should have been the clincher, apparently.

I've been following this obsessively over the weekend. VV sounds absolutely mental. She reckons she's gonna be killed because snag accidentally said her real first name 🤦🏻‍♀️ even though she reposted the image with her name on it to her own stories and left it there for a few hours.

‘If I die’ 🤣🤣🤣

Ofalus · 07/11/2021 17:57

She also spent 10 mins crying on her stories yesterday wailing "I just want it to be over, I'm so tired", then she's recording lives on multiple platforms!

SuperDup3r · 07/11/2021 18:05

I think a restraining order should be considered. This hideous woman is clearly a nutter and seemingly incapable of posting anything without her tits out

God, she really thinks she's more known and popular than she actually is, doesn't she? She had a couple of hundred followers when I looked at her Twitter a couple of hours ago. She makes me physically uncomfortable with her level of self importance. The way she thinks of herself as so beautiful/hot/important/relevant and anyone who doesn't agree is some kind of bigot is alarming. There is not one thing that is attractive about her, and I'm in no way speaking about physical attributes. People like her are very dangerous.
A580Hojas · 07/11/2021 18:08

Fuck me, the modern world is baffling.

Personally I think Snag tights have an appalling general advertising campaign (from what I see popping up unwanted on my FB) - nothing I've seen makes me want to buy them.

mydogisthebest · 07/11/2021 18:18

@Waspsarearseholes yes I know men wear tights. I know a postman that wears them.

It doesn't bother me but I don't see the need to advertise tights which, let' be honest, are mainly worn by women, by having a half naked man wearing them.

I also don't see why the women have to be half naked. I have no objection to their size or colour. I am not a size 10 myself and I guess they are showing that their tights are good for larger women. They can show that with women wearing dresses or skirts can't they? Also some of the poses of the models I find very tack and, again, not necessary in order to sell tights. Sexy underwear yes but not tights. Tights never have been and never will be sexy.

I am not trying to make any point. I have not worn tights for at least 20 years as I hate them, so uncomfortable, never fit properly, fall down etc.

I have mainly lived in trousers but on the odd occasion I wear a dress it is in the summer with bare legs. I quite fancy getting a dress suitable for the winter and will, obviously, have to wear tights with it unless I fancy going for the blue with cold look.

I had read on a thread about tights that the Snag ones don't fall down, fit well etc so thought I might try them and looked at their website.

deeedeee · 07/11/2021 18:18

Snag tights are amazing! I’ve bought them for a few years now and as a size 20 they have genuinely changed my life. Before I could only buy tights from one shop in only black , that only just fit, had to be held up with a pair of knickers over the top, cost a fortune and laddered instantly. Snag tights are affordable, good quality, in every colour and fucking fit! And they go as small as big (my 9 year old wears the smallest size) .

Please don’t let their increasing “diverse and inclusive” marketing put you off. They are genuinely great.

DickMabutt73962 · 07/11/2021 18:48

She also posted the snag owners real name...

Ummmm

I wear Snag tights and their chub rub shorts with are bloody ace.

But fuck me, Snag / Brie if you are reading this, I know it’s probably been a shitty few days, but fuck me you’ve not dodged a bullet, you dodged a nuclear missile

That Twitter feed is fucking grim. And yes, I recruit, and yes I check social media and there is no way in this earth I would hire someone to work as a social media person when they are putting things like their wet knickers on social media.

Grim as fuck

NotMyCat · 07/11/2021 19:15

@DickMabutt73962 I don't believe that is her real name (see screenshot comment)

Brie isn't her real name? She says in her comment 'you shared my first name' which is Brie

Siameasy · 07/11/2021 19:20

These lunatics should just be ignored as they’re attention seekers. Companies (and individuals) end up pandering to them. Nothing will satisfy them so I just wouldn’t engage.

I am in shock at her Twitter. Wish I never checked 🤢
NotMyCat · 07/11/2021 19:26

@DickMabutt73962 yes but that wouldn't make any sense? As you can literally google snag and see her first name
I read it as shared a name that isn't out there because she can't be mad if someone shared her first name that is openly on google/the website. I might be wrong but otherwise it doesn't make sense!
That's like me being mad and saying "you shared I am notmycat" while posting from an account called "notmycat"

While I wholeheartedly agree with not hiring her, I think the response was just an immature clap back. She apparently also accused her of sharing their business number which is also available on Google so I believe it

Actually I've read her comment again and it isn't 'clap back' she's saying you referred to me by mine so I referred to you by yours. So it's definitely her name so saying that she was doxxed as well isn't the same thing as her information is public

BrightYellowDaffodil · 07/11/2021 19:39

She thinks she’s going to die because people get murdered because “influencers get murdered by rabid fans a lot” Hmm

She’s completely unhinged. Snag need to stop apologising and treat her with the disdainful silence she deserves.

As an aside, is says a LOT about SM pile-ons and bullying that the CEO of a company has had to take steps to protect herself, her family and her staff because of this entitled nonentity.

Sparklesocks · 07/11/2021 19:42

Bullet dodged I think.
VV seems to be quite distressed by the escalation but I don’t know why you wouldn’t just take time off social media if that’s the case. She seems quite manic - there are so so many videos about it on her Instagram.

Claymorekick · 07/11/2021 19:48

I honestly think that Snag have inadvertently made the situation worse by the constant apologies. One apology for missing the email and then ignore, ignore, ignore - it would have blown over much quicker.

Looking at her twitter, she is clearly unhinged amd desperate for attention...including the begging for people to go over to OF.

FreeBritnee · 07/11/2021 20:01

What the hell is VV influencing aside from my gag reflex?!

crochetmonkey74 · 07/11/2021 20:01

I cant understand how she keeps calling them a multi billion corporation when she said she got her friends to help them when they nearly went under last year
