What if we pretended the OJTS were all professionals. Simulate it – what it entails. TRPGs and roleplaying and rehearsing is how I get over my anxiety and prepare myself. Its not a popular way – although it works for me in a lot of things and this is what I know how to use.
- They all have to draft the Requirements.
- They had to write the Scope of Work and the Contracts.
- They had to rewrite and renegotiate the contract and the scope.
- They had to “process” the paperwork to get paid.
- They had to do all the other tasks for engaging in work and getting the Jobs and Future jobs.
- we pretend they are being paid 500php per “job” and how many jobs are they earnings.
What if I organized them into Teams.
- The leader administers the team. They ensure the job is done and the members provide the deliverables.
- the leader makes the report on the team and has to process the client-facing work – project manage the team.
- the second in command, he has to check and examine everyone’s output and deliverables. They work with the leader to divy up the work amongst the team and finish early enough to troubleshoot.
- They have to present to the Leader.
Ugg… will there be a day that Nicco and I can sustain ourselves with the Cepheus Engine gig and I don’t need to be an IT Director anymore. It just makes me more happy accomplishing something I appreciate than things that are less appreciated.
After which reflect How Realistic is it, how likely we are going to get this kind of Gig? How likely we can do something professionals get paid big bucks for?
Later on working with Indians – how they can be the Client Management side of the Project and work with Indians as well as learn from them so they can both grow. They find the jobs where their Offshore partners help them succeed. They teach others how this work and provide the network for others how this can work and the cycle perpetuates.
I think a radical shift in Philippine IT education is that we will work a lot with the Indians to develop our IT capabilities. We learn from them and partner with them to produce services globally. As we all get better, the tasks and relationships become more complicated.
The Filipino Students who will emerge from this will be more skilled than me having a better start than I had, hopefully teaching more filipinos because the Method I taught them is Teachign as We go, by using Open systems. That there is no excuse that they couldn’t teach and share the knowledge, that they share because that’s how they teach or train others.
Still depressed how much people don’t care about martial law in light of the election and how much people are so callous as to believe it can be forgotten – NOT KNOWING That if they want us to forget they can HARM us the same way and Make everyone else forget us. Us remembering the victims of the past and making sure this doesn’t repeat makes sure when WE BECOME victims we are not left and forgotten.
I just want to disappear and not deal with this. When I see people and remember how callous they can be that I would be something they can easily sacrifice at their convenience I get anxious and scared. I’ve seen sociopaths up close and know their proximity to me how easily i can be a tool for them to be discarded. so I feel scared interacting with people who are that callous as to be able to harm me. In game theory – trust is how we can have repeat games – but once trust is violated – that the person is so callous as to be the type to discard me or prey on me – the question is when. And being vulnerable means always processing the sadness and confronting my vulnerability.
it affects a lot of my life – because the reserves I use for everything is still my attitude and for life and work that’s the same source of energy.
