We went over on interview time by quite a bit because we talked quite a bit about organizing and ensuring that people were not only doing the roles they volunteered for but also having the opportunities to flex the skills they had in those roles.
Not to mention also having the chance to build their skill sets and branch out into new roles as they learned about what the other roles had to offer.
At the time I did that interview I technically had a play group of 15 people but we needed 5 for each session. So basically I’d pick a day for game day. We’d organize and plan the event recruiting players with various roles they had.
I ended up not taking the job because they changed which location I was going to be working at to being 45 minutes away (and in a state with income tax) from where I lived vs 5 minutes (in a state without income tax) from what I lived and also from 4 10s to 5 8s. Oh and the pay was going to be the same, so that was a deal breaker.
I live in WA and work in OR. Oregon takes their taxes and in general I only get the transit tax back and sometimes a kicker if they take too much from everyone (like this year) and have a massive surplus.
NGL I got asked to elaborate

You pay state income tax based on your state of residence, not your employer’s.
That’s not true
If you work in a state you pay that state’s taxes regardless of where you live.
I’ve had the unfortunate benefit of working in one state and living in another now for about 10 years.
It looks like some localities try to double-dip in certain places, but that’s the exception, not the rule.
For example, I’ve been living in WA but working in CA, and have zero tax obligations to the state of California.
Florida and Alabama double dip, but I forgot which direction.
That’s quite the commute holy hell
I live in WA and work in OR. Oregon takes their taxes and in general I only get the transit tax back and sometimes a kicker if they take too much from everyone (like this year) and have a massive surplus.
The trick is that I don’t commute.
So you work from home then?
That’s why you don’t owe taxes to California. You don’t work in California, you work in Washington.
