I mean they didn't even provide a date of when the AMA would be posted so they're just giving people a heads up that it might be a bit later than people might expect. Don't see the issue with this at all.
All communication is good.
Pretty sure they did when this section was opened and then promptly removed it. Probably cause they had no intention of meeting a set deadline even then.
I don't get it. I can see delaying some high production video. But honestly, we don't need high production. A Zoom call would be more than enough. You could even just do this AMA as just text responses to the posts. Which is probably a much better option as answers can be articulated better. I have the feeling that everything is just going to get muddled down, softened and glossed over in a video interview. Where the key point of the questions aren't even addressed.
Beyond that, personally, I'm no longer buying the "COVID" excuse from businesses as a blanket statement to absolve them from all everything. It's like common people, we're 8 months in on this pandemic - it should no longer come as a shock that you MIGHT want some sort of remote work contingencies in place. Some businesses, both smaller and larger, and in every niche, have been rolling with the punches and haven't skipped a beat during this time. There's no excuse anymore for "unexpected" delays or the complete cessation of work because you can't get in to the office.
Zoom, Skype, Slack, Discord, Trello, Asana, Teamviewer, Facetime...etc...etc...etc. There are so many options out there to facilitate remote work and collaboration now. Never mind the fact you're dealing with an ONLINE FORUM here that can literally be accessed from anywhere. I don't see how any type of health restriction could prevent a Zoom call and having someone type up some answers here.
I mean. it's not like this AMA came out of no where either. This has been planned for months and questions have been posted since mid-October. You would imagine that some thought and discussion had already happened regarding these questions in the office? Or was it another case of "nope, we're not even going to think about that until the deadline has arrived or come and gone."?
I think the handling of this AMA speaks volumes toward the core concern everyone has beyond the face value of the questions that were asked. It's par for the course "make promises that you have no intention of fulfilling and pass the buck as to why it wasn't done". That's pretty much been the case for the last 10 years lol
Perhaps I'm being a bit harsh or overly critical. Perhaps it's the Entropian condition after playing this game for 15 years and experiencing first hand the frustrations and disappointments during that time. I'm interested in hearing the responses when they eventually go live (if they do, cause there are questions from the previous AMA that were never answered so there's no guarantee these questions will be either). But I've got other things to keep me busy for now and I'll keep checking back.
