Basics

  • This page is largely going to be a rant/op ed (ALBEIT with plans, not just bringing up problems with no suggested solutions!), so keep that in mind
  • HOWEVER feel free to fix typos etc, or chime in, discussion/brainstorming is appreciated

Bit by User: Eric

Background

  • In the process of bringing up going to the OSE Apprenticeship etc, i had to kind of explain what it was
  • Granted i wasn’t prepped either, so that lack of an Elevator Pitch (being tired from work ( Burnout from my current job is kicking in BIG TIME, plus if i just came off of an intense job (lots of shoveling/wearing a tyvek in a tank etc) i don’t have physical energy either) sure didn’t help
  • ’’’Either Way’’’

Points Brough Up

  • Past Issues (They didn’t say where they read it, but sounded like some people having bad experiences (I’m guessing in the early days where there wasn’t much FeF Infrastructure
  • Current Money (or Lack Thereof)
    • Mentioned some form, 501c i think? (The Non-Profit Form Thing) and extrapolated that to mean “They Wouldn’t Have the Money to Pay You” etc

Potential Counterpoints

  • Editorializing here, but i think much of the “Past Issues” problem is just due to their not being much information coming out of the Events/FeF as a whole (CAD Files and amazing projects notwithstanding)
    • While i do think EPCOTification / Focusing so much kn updates/filming that an otherwise great project gets turned into Trash Reality TV are VALID concerns, i think also that PR transforms into bot Funds and Legitimacy/ Social Currency
