Round 1 Regroup: Insights

At our first meeting, we shared insights from all of the jobs that we shadowed.  I won't go over insights that I observed, but some of the other insights:
  • Every employee we talked to enjoyed learning from the space around them.  They would read the research posters in buildings.
  • Many employees also talked about their families and the hope that their kids would go to Stanford one day.
  • There are a ton of different lights on campus!  Millions, including many different types and many that are retrofitted.
  • Multiple employees would come in on their time off out of a sense of obligation to get an important job done.
  • A lot of Stanford community members would be very rude to the people we shadowed.
  • Some of the breaker rooms are even worse than in M's example -- one of the ones in the library was on a completely different floor.
  • The workers never really complained.  There were frustrations on the job, but they seemed even-keeled throughout the process.
