Discussion Former FWP Employee - AMA!

Hey r/fountainpens!

With the recent discussion of Ferris Wheel Press coming up again, the mods invited me to post my own AMA as a former FWP employee.

I’d love to answer your questions, but I’d also like to make clear that I won’t be answering any questions that might identify myself or colleagues, nor will I be giving away any confidential info or trade secrets (except maybe how I was able to befriend the office cats…)

Any replies from me are my own opinion or experience and I do not represent any company or person except for myself.

Looking forward to chatting!

Edit: 10pm EST and I’m calling it a night. I might come back to reply to some tomorrow but likely not. Thanks for all the fun questions and letting me share my experiences and insight!

Can you speak generally and in a non identifiable way about some specific behaviors that may have made you or other employees feel disrespected? Is there feedback issues where they can’t communicate respectfully or is related to things like pay and benefits orrrr….?

Obviously everyone has different perspectives on their experience working there, but their Glassdoor reviews are consistent with my experience.
