Members Lounge - or is it a “work from home” office?? The members lounge, as advertised, is supposedly a place for members to relax and unwind. I was excited to see that food and drinks were again being served there after the covid lockdowns. But after visiting the lounge 2 weeks in a row, I’m so disappointed to find members are now using it for business. Listening to nonstop business calls being made is so annoying. Not what I expect, or go there for- that’s for sure! Great for those who are doing it- free power/ heating/ lights/ wifi / great views. A beautiful “ work from home” arrangement. But a total turn off for other members. After raising the issue ( 2 weeks running) with staff, it was suggested I could go to Riddells Green for a drink instead. Hello! As a gold member, I don’t pay my membership to sit in Riddells Green because other members are running their business from the comfort of the Members Lounge. Other members I spoke with were also very unhappy. Why do staff and management allow this ? Surely business calls can be banned in the beautiful Members lounge, and designated to other areas. Eg the sitting area near reception, or even turn the library into a business hub during 9-5 hours if that’s the way Healesville RACV is now heading.
