Corporate philanthropy triggers my BS detector a bit though. Do you think a non-profit would be different? Like, say, ASPCA or UNICEF instead of the Exxon-Mobil

Corporate philanthropy triggers my BS detector a bit though. Do you think a non-profit would be different? Like, say, ASPCA or UNICEF instead of the Exxon-Mobil Climate Taskforce or whatever corporate philanthropy means (I actually do not know, could you elaborate?).
- legerdemain 5y agoI was working at a philanthropic org funded by one of the Bay Area tech giants. The org was focused on science research and advocacy. But being neither a scientist nor activist, I was very far removed from whatever it is that our org did. My job was keeping the proverbial lights on. The combination of uninteresting work and being really peripheral within the org finally did me in.
