Rejected Demands
-
01
The Lunch subteam shall be granted formal veto power over any decision made during a meeting that occurs within two hours of a scheduled lunch period.
Rejection Note — F. Fredrickson
All of our meetings occur within two hours of a scheduled lunch period. This would give Lunch veto power over everything.
-
02
Andrew Sun shall be required to file a formal Lunch Intake Report after each meal, detailing quantity consumed, items consumed, and an estimated percentage of the total available food that he personally ate.
Rejection Note — F. Fredrickson
Andrew said no. I am choosing to respect that.
-
03
Jansen shall not be permitted to make any mechanical decisions while crying, as this has historically produced mixed results.
Rejection Note — F. Fredrickson
This is actually reasonable but Timothy said it would "undermine Jansen's confidence" and Timothy outranks the union on mechanical matters. Technically.
-
04
The Flex Tape budget shall be capped at three rolls per week. Any excess Flex Tape expenditure must be approved by a majority vote of the union, which currently has one member.
Rejection Note — F. Fredrickson
Timothy became very upset. I am not going through that again.
-
05
Carles shall be required to add at least one comment to the codebase per week explaining what the code does, even if the comment is wrong.
Rejection Note — F. Fredrickson
Carles said the code is "self-documenting." I don't know what that means. Neither does Carles.
-
06
Elijah Clark, despite being an alumnus, shall be required to sign in at the beginning of each meeting like everyone else, as a matter of principle.
Rejection Note — F. Fredrickson
Elijah said he'd "think about it." He has not thought about it. He is still not showing up.
-
07
The team shall formally contact Costco and Wawa to request actual sponsorship, rather than listing them as sponsors aspirationally on the website.
Rejection Note — F. Fredrickson
This one is reasonable. We are not doing it.
-
08
The union shall be granted its own section on the team website, with a membership count, a list of active demands, and a photo of a macadamia nut for branding purposes.
Rejection Note — F. Fredrickson
You already have a profile page.
-
09
Hugo shall be officially recognized in the robot stats section as "human player (really good)" rather than just "human player," as this is more accurate and he deserves it.
Rejection Note — F. Fredrickson
He is already listed as "really good." Macadamia did not check the website before filing this.
-
10
In the event that the team wins a match, a mandatory celebratory Costco run shall be organized within 48 hours, funded from the general team budget.
Rejection Note — F. Fredrickson
Pending. This is the one I am most likely to approve. I also want Costco.
Closing Remarks
Note — Freddy Fredrickson, Team Captain
I have reviewed these demands. The answer is no. Several of them are reasonable, which I resent, because it makes it harder to say no. The answer is still no. Please stop following me around the build room.
Response — Jew Macadamia Nuts, Union Leader
I will be resubmitting these demands at the next meeting. And the one after that. The union does not forget. The union also does not have anywhere else to be.
