Eventhough we are legally a business, we are non for profit (noone gets paid) and solely reliant on people volunteering+ for all positions in makerspace. As a director you have to be able to stick to what is your job and as we have a flat structure, we are also reliant on people knowing and being able to understand what is their job to do. I.e. directors make sure techs, accounts, handling of finances (and fair distribution of them based on member’s interests) outward communications, breaches and grievances are whether delegated or dealt with and working in the best interest to SLMS and it’s members .Techs,systems,moderators,inductors make decisions in their areas, and all of the areas are needing an input from members, but the executive decisions are made by the said roles. Basically! I understand welcome is a semi-independent group that needs to work with directors who can access data only visible to them to express what is needed to be done there.
- During lockdown there has been a call out for paid job in relation to Arch2 build for obvious reasons, but that was an agreed decision by members at the time without any disagreement in a very weird time, when we were paying rent for the arch noone could use and no volunteering meet ups could facilitate the amount of work needed to be done…
I am worrying that some fore-people I have seen during organised events are here more for impression than dealing with the real stuff and I hope it is undertandable to other members I can express this on this thread as I do believe it is very important specifically in this case…(i mean bossing without knowing how to do it right)
