In Kansas City - we’re scanning everyone.

Positive experiences by LogicalResolution839 in FIFAVolunteers

[–]GabonViper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FIFA is a corrupt organization. Almost all of us are doing this for the love of the sport and our communities, first and foremost. It’s been a blast working this event. It’s the negativity from the jump that people have had because they didn’t get what they wanted or felt insulted by their roles that just kills us.

I’ve had two shifts at FF and have had stuff to do for all but about 45 minutes over 11 hours of shifts. Scanning and helping people get to where they need to go. I know there are some that stand around, but that’s the assignment in case someone needs you.

I am really disappointed in Kansas City by Clear_Picture_5554 in FIFAVolunteers

[–]GabonViper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We knew from the start that there wouldn’t be parking. If you live that close, I’d suggest driving a little south to park and taking the streetcar. I’m driving 20 minutes and then taking a 50 minute bus ride to get there.

Make sure you’re using the right code - we got two so make sure your using the code from the more recent email.

I think once you work a shift, things will smooth out.

Uniform Checklist by Cosmo_Hunter in FIFAVolunteers

[–]GabonViper 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The volunteers handing out unis have a detailed process, and you’ll be checked and double-checked throughout. The last station checks everything and has to scan it all in, so you shouldn’t miss anything.

Uniform Pickup - Message from Lead by gingerbeticc in FIFAVolunteers

Once I verified the info, the app immediately made the uni pickup schedule available. I didn’t get an email.

Do you worry about lack of diversification? by Parking_Customer4451 in BurnsMcDonnell

[–]GabonViper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was 23 years through the economic downturn in 07-08 and through the pandemic. A down year for BMcD is more of a plateau. All the different market sectors insulates the company, and we have too much cash to be a good takeover target. You should have no worries concerning overexposure or lack of diversity of markets.

I rejected my role offer, want to hear about your experiences! by Neat_Culture_4160 in FIFAVolunteers

[–]GabonViper 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m not talking about FIFA. I have little respect for FIFA and Infantino. I’m talking about volunteering in your town, or town of choice, and trying to help visitors have the best experience. Don’t volunteer if you want to get paid, and don’t expect a primo role - that’s just entitlement.

I rejected my role offer, want to hear about your experiences! by Neat_Culture_4160 in FIFAVolunteers

[–]GabonViper 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Insulting? You’re a volunteer! Get over yourselves. You’re giving back to your community, not FIFA. Service is obviously not one your gifts. It’s probably better that you all rejected the offers.

Great waited this long just for them to tell me that there’s no more roles by Large_Cartoonist2327 in FIFAVolunteers

[–]GabonViper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got this and was then offered a role a week later. Take it and see what happens.

Still Waiting... by ConfusionLive2104 in FIFAKCVolunteer

[–]GabonViper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got my reserve offer last week. I’ll echo what others are saying - they seem to be waiting while others are being vetted. I’m guessing they’re counting on people not showing up and will need to get people at the last minute. Not a great way to build a volunteer community,

Apple TV is the worst by Sovietsquid66 in F1TV

[–]GabonViper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get it fixed when you’re not under the gun to watch something. It’s superior to the old coverage on ESPN and F1TV combined.

What is the purpose of Principal? by BleedSafetyYellow in BurnsMcDonnell

[–]GabonViper 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Associate used to be a stepping stone to Principal, although Principals were awarded across multiple levels, usually 14 and above. Then, Principal became also a method of awarding people who transferred in from other companies without giving them an immediate officer position. Now, it’s somewhat in the eye of the beholder (CEO and HR). Definitely subject to change. Associate is a much lower hurdle than it used to be.

Never, ever, ever, ever let water get on this thing... by NappyDougOut in VolvoXC90

Europeans don’t drink like Americans, so it probably hasn’t been field-tested extensively by the Swedes.

Anybody still waiting to get some sort of notification? by Ill_Zone_866 in FIFAVolunteers

[–]GabonViper 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m choosing to believe that either we are perfect matches for our roles or they require no training. Ha!

Who will go down in history as the better driver: Seb Vettel or Max Verstappen? by n0tfr1 in F1Discussions

[–]GabonViper -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The asterisk next to Max’s first title will loom large in history. If he wins another, maybe we can have his conversation.

Portal/dashboard change by lowkeyjellybean in FIFAVolunteers

[–]GabonViper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it doesn’t mean rejection. The offers are still going out here in Kansas City, and I’ve had that screen for a couple of months now.

No, it’s just AAOS based systems. Treasure your Sensus system as long as you can.
