First off, it makes me so happy to see so much engagement on proposals. I think the thing that through me off is when people enter as entities and not individuals, I totally welcome any individual that would like to join BDAO. Personally, anyone I bring into BDAO I personally onboard (ask them what they like, what they are good at and what they want to gain from contributing), then I direct them to the some Guilds and projects that might be fitting.
I just know dropping a bunch of people in discord isn’t going to be the most fruitful at retaining talent, we have an opportunity here to create an effective onboarding program. As I said before, we could use the opportunity here to develop one together with the team at Consensys. Then the long-term ambassador tag would work, limiting it to specific projects or guilds that would need would work.
I think what gave me pause is that an agreement was made to onboard employees (not individuals) of a company into projects where leads were not consulted. Also, if the goal is to bring in new people, why can’t they just come as individuals?
Why not participate on your own time and not work time (so they are not paid by there company to be there), I think its important for contributors to engage a Coordinape round but also do work in which they would charge market rate but get paid in BANK for. This would solve the flags I said in terms of :
Low value of BANK (our 1kBANK an hour)
Impact Culture (visible inequities)
Precendent for more corps to enter
Lack of utility on BANK
It’s interesting no one is talking about that - maybe far removed from the chatter and sentiment from the community which I see is a bigger issue than this. Which FYI people are struggling in BDAO (to make most of BANK, to fit in, to participate).
Again more than welcome - just come as individuals. If arriving as a company, then lets develop an effective onboard and DAO experience program together so we can use this to attract other businesses that want to enter the DAO
