It doesn't sound as bad as you make it out to be. If a charity really does need a warm body for some task(s), then what is the harm in paying someone to do said task? The charity gets the work done the same as if a volunteer came in.
You make it sound like there is some huge downside to doing this.
- rprasad 14y agoThere is a huge downside for this to the charity: they have to waste time training "volunteers" who will probably never come back unless they're paid to be there. Volunteers (as in, real volunteers) are much more likely to come back, minimizing the amount of time wasted on training. Volunteers are also more likely to have knowledge or experience in the area of the charity, whereas Exec's [gophers?] are likely to know nothing at all.
