Our opinion doesn't matter, the owner makes the final decision, is those makerspace with a "dictator" that puts in all the money in the beginning for a huge space, with a lot of machinery, so he decides. <div>
<br></div><div>My question is, does any other makerspace have payed staff? How do you pay them? I'd love the staff here to be volunteer but i promise in my country people can't commit easily as volunteers because life is too expensive, there is no time , we work from 9 or 8 am until 7 pm and everyone is in debt. We are not a developed country, and the community of makers that are awesome don't have a cent to donate and don't trust people. We had a crowd funding platform in our country and it went bankrupt because people don't believe in donations, they always feel they are being ripped off. </div>
<div><br></div><div>It's not easy I just want to know what you guys think could be done better (obviusly having a sort of dictator is the worst scenario, being it a company and not a foundation it's also the worst scenario,and having big brands come in it's , like someone said, a slap in the face) <b>but I' curious, do you think having a payed staff was one of the big mistakes?</b></div>
