Your SNAFU Stories!
Do YOU have wild stories about CLUSTERf&@!s in engineering/manufacturing/physical product development?
(I bet you do if you’ve been in the game long enough.)
Would YOU want to anonymously (or not anonymously) share them for a collection while anonymizing/protecting company and product names?
If you bring the stories over on Odd Engineer, Spire Starter will publish them in a collection!
Current working title: “Engineering SNAFU, Volume 1: Stories of Noteworthy Atrocities at Factories Unveiled.” And for any entry that makes it into the book, we’ll happily send you a hard copy.
Remember, if you don’t need to personally remain anonymous because you have enough clients or past employers to obscure the identity of stakeholders in your story (or stories) this can be excellent marketing content!
How to Contribute:
