Just back from the total failure Spicecorps where they don't even let you in the door.
What?
yeah, they have the doors blocked. You have to wait in a really long line (40-50 people, goes out the door) to sign a waiver to get in eventually. You can only get in if part of a tour. I asked about Spicecorps and they said they'd not heard of it. Total chaos, and totally overbooked. Sounds like if you got there early enough you could get in, but getting there 25 minutes in, it was closed off to entrance.

There were no signs or anything, and people said they'd not heard of the event. So I assumed it had been cancelled and I just hadn't seen the update. It looked like the facility was totally booked for the big event that they had going on, so it made sense that the SC wasn't there. I hung about uncomfortably long trying to figure out an option to get in, but it seemed pretty obvious that I didn't belong, so I gave up.

The Dallas Makerspace has been bad about it before. Paul has reserved the room before and people were confused. Last two times we have done it there, the doors were locked, someone had to let you in and questioned you 10 times. The first time we went was cool getting the tour, but not really my favorite venue.

Wow, so this is the norm for this space? If it was a known problem why didn't someone address it either by not using the space or by coming up with information that we need if we knew we'd be turned away?

It's a tour without the people you are there to see as well. Who wants to see an artists' workspace for no reason? Not even kind of interesting. "Oh look, paint." Who cares?
-
The Makerspace is much more than "paint" for painting class.
Might want to look up what the dallas makerspace has online and educate yourself. -

That's what a painting studio would sound like today. Just marketing stuff.
-
Paint, screenprinting, sculpting, knitting...
-
Oh, and makeup... painting on faces.

Here's the Pittsburgh one.......

Ha, if you press j or k it moves up and down posts. Kind of funny.

Neat, I'm going to use that now.

Exposed a disaster of a company, told everyone his CIO was utterly incompetent and demanding insanity and.... runs and hides.
-
It definitely is a CIO either getting kickbacks or just trying to hide and pretend he knows IT and letting a salesguy do the job. I can't figure out why people post obvious things about corruption and then act surprised when it gets pointed out - especially when it is the key factor around which the actions to take next depend.

What if the CIO in this case is the auditor company? The company doesn't have any trusted IT decision people.... so they hired the auditor to tell them what to do. Sounds like a corrupt auditor.

You mean what if the CIO is actually a salesman being called a CIO? Then obviously that would change things and just make the CEO to blame directly.
But the CIO would still be lying, there is no excuse for what the CIO has said.

No, it sounds like they got a salesman and called him an auditor. We can't know, I'm just saying what is the most likely sounding thing.
But it's a problem if you have a CIO and don't trust him. Why have two IT people on staff, one given a CIO title, and you don't' trust him, at all? I mean clearly they can't trust him, but it's obvious that this isn't simply "we can't hire good people." They knew enough to come to SW to ask questions, so they know how to get help. They are choosing not to take that help any further, though.
