There are six slots left for this groundbreaking event for the structural firefighting community. Open to firefighters and fire officers from all disciplines. NFFF Structural Firefighting Staff Ride Series Lessons from the LODD of Captain Jeffrey Bowen When August 25-26, 2023 Where Asheville Fire Station #1 100 Court Plaza Asheville, North Carolina Synopsis On July 28, 2011, the Asheville (NC) Fire Department responded to a structural fire in a six-story medical office building at 445 Biltmore Avenue. Captain Jeffrey Bowen was killed, and nine other firefighters suffered injuries at the fire. The fire was determined to be intentionally set. Over the ensuing twelve months, Chief Scott Burnette and the Asheville Fire Department (AFD) members embarked on an intensive effort to determine contributing factors and areas of improvement. Staff Ride Event The National Fallen Firefighters Foundation (NFFF), in partnership with the AFD, will host a staff ride beginning Friday evening, August 25, 2023, and ending Saturday evening, August 26, 2023. Members of the AFD and NFFF will facilitate a detailed presentation of the events before, during, and after the event using the successful staff ride concept employed by the military and U. S. Forest Service. The event will include pre-work reading, an evening ice breaker on August 25, approximately six “stands” on Saturday, August 26, and a culminating closeout dinner with attendees reflecting on key takeaways from the experience. Cost and Attendance There is no cost to attend the event. A grant from the Department of Homeland Security’s Assistance to Firefighters Grant Program is underwriting the staff ride, including travel, lodging, and meals. Attendance is capped at 36 attendees. Register here: https://lnkd.in/gERyfFYc Contact: Kimberly Lightley (klightley@firehero.org) for more information What is a Staff Ride? Staff rides are learning experiences employed by the military, the U.S. Forest Service, and a host of leadership enterprises. The “ride” consists of three phases: preliminary study, field study, and integration. Attendees are immersed in a particular event, reflect on the actions of those involved, and are asked to draw conclusions about what they have learned. Successfully employed by various organizations, staff rides are a premier learning and growth experience.

How Chandler Bing Mirrored the Office Malaise of the 1990s The travails and dissatisfactions of Chandler Bing, the sarcastic office drone portrayed by Matthew Perry on the hit 1990s sitcom Friends, provided an acute reflection of the changing attitudes and anxieties surrounding white-collar office work in that era. By satirizing meaningless corporate jobs, struggles with conformity, and fears about automation, Chandler's character gave comedic expression to the shifting generational perspectives on careers and fulfillment taking hold at the time. A primary source of Chandler’s existential angst stems from the vagueness and absurdity of his corporate job. As he complains about analyzing “Weekly Estimated Net Usage Statistics” and preparing indecipherable “TPS reports,” the show lampoons the bureaucracy, opacity, and pointlessness associated with many real-life office jobs. Chandler’s inability to explain what he actually does every day, along with his ability to avoid work entirely without consequence, echoes the real anxieties of 1990s office workers about their labor becoming obsolete due to developing technologies. Studies from the era, such as a 1998 paper from the Wharton School, showed that nearly 75% of administrative employees feared their computerized replacements. In addition to meaningless work, Chandler chafes at the conformity and politics demanded by the corporate ladder. When a promotion requires him to pretend his sole purpose is climbing that ladder, Chandler resists, showcasing the shifting attitudes of Generation X workers who refused to define their entire identities by their careers. As media executive Neil Owens suggests, Chandler represents the soulless organization man "who worked in exchange for a paycheck, but didn't need or want his work to define him." Chandler’s eventual transition into the advertising field mirrors the allure of jobs in media, marketing, and technology, apparently more creative domains. However, ambiguity remains about whether these “dot-com boom” jobs proved more personally fulfilling. As Chandler discovers, the freedom of jobs in media and marketing brought their own complex pressures. For fans, Chandler’s travails became more poignant over time as they witnessed the character’s decline across the show’s decade-long run. From the bright-eyed, wise-cracking 20-something to the aging, cynical ad man, Chandler’s progression encapsulated the generational disillusionment Gen X came to associate with their white-collar careers, especially in the wake of economic instability in the early 2000s. As one fan suggested in a Reddit thread, “Seeing Chandler's slow spiral into depression was almost too real for some people.” #OfficeLife #1990sNostalgia #GenerationX #CorporateCulture #Friends
