Portland, OR 97233

Google Maps (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&q=805+SE+122nd+Ave,+Portland,+OR+97233&ie=UTF8&z=15)

TriMet:


General meetings are open to the public. Meet and plan with other staff, find out about joining staff or become a volunteer, and learn about open staff positions. Bring interested friends!

There will be a vote on a bylaws amendment to expand the allowable locations at which to hold the Annual Meeting of the Membership. Discussion of the wording of this amendment is being held in this forum thread (http://www.kumoricon.org/forums/index.php?topic=13985.0) [staff access required]. For a vote to be held, the meeting attendance must reach quorum, which is one fifth of the current membership of Altonimbus Entertainment. The membership, consisting of 97 staff and the 5 founders, is 102, which means the quorum is 21 members.

Due to my prior commitment to the Steampunk Film Festival, for which I've been volunteering, I most likely will not be at any part of this meeting. However, I would love to see any and all of you at the film fest afterwards, especially in your Steampunk finery!

It would be nice, so let's get more staff to show up.  I'll be there, and I'm sure some of my fellow Clarkers will, too.

Don't worry too much.  Keep the amount of consumption to a low, and if your plans will involve going out, make sure you go with people you could trust.  (My current friends wouldn't have been good for me, but I didn't know them when I turned 21).

YAY CAKE!!!  (Don't forget that I'll only be able to get it IF my return comes before the meeting, which it should).

Unless a miracle happens I can't make it, just got a new schedule that had the choice between losing hours or working a 14 hour sunday and I can't afford to lose hours.  I am pissed and not happy.  I will be looking for a new job as of today.

14/9/15 is completely messed-up when it's against your will. The concept itself isn't too insane, several of my coworkers do three 13-hour shifts... but it's their choice. To order someone to work that as a schedule just isn't right.

(Historical note: Expectations have changed a lot in the past hundred years. Believe it or not, six such shifts was the norm for much of the working class before unions.)

Post by: superjaz on February 09, 2011, 07:41:34 pm
it was my choice to an extent either that or 15-9-9 and lose 5 hours and I could not afford the Loss of money.  On a plus side I am starting to collect references and job suggestions. fyi I am a certified support staff for adults with developmental disorders.

Post by: @random on February 10, 2011, 04:33:13 am
Washougal - Discussing work shifts. For example, "three 13's" means three 13-hour shifts, and "15/9/9" means working a 15-hour shift, a 9-hour shift, and a 9-hour shift.

superjaz - I love it when managers give you the "choice" between a terrible option and one that's just really bad. I hope things get better for you guys.
Title: Re: 2011 February 13 General Meeting
Post by: steelychan on February 10, 2011, 12:05:02 pm
yep. or they dont inform you that you dont have a shift until you look at an updated schedule. they seriously irked me! but i got an even better shift when i bugged her about that.

I will be bringing several copies of this text so that if there is quorum we can vote on it.  After all the types of changes were considered, going back to the way things used to worked for years* (that is to say what I did for years; the membership just assuming it would work out) seems best.

Change this (10.B.11)
Quote
11. The Board shall call an Annual Meeting of the Membership during each business year, to be held not less than 18 and not more than 90 days after the final day of the Kumoricon held during this business year and to take place within the city limits of Portland, Oregon.

TO (changed text is in bold, formatting not part of the amendment)
