Answer 3

I was mandatory Volunteered for a special project at my last job. Our CEO was a senior member on the board of a national organization representing our industry and she was scheduled too become the national director. We were hosting the National convention and she wanted to make a big impression. I was on vacation and when I came back to work I found I was on a committee I had no knowledge of. When I asked about it I was told we had all volunteered. Several things were wrong with this; First I had not volunteered, second I had to buy special clothing (at my expense) to meet her requirements, It was to be done after hours on one of my work (with no additional pay), and one of the days was on my day off (at no additional pay),  Too make it worse, I had a 122 mile round trip to work. On the regular work day I would have been up at 5A.M., drove to work, got off at 5 P.M. worked on her special project until 11 P.M. then driven 62 miles back home just to get up at 5 AM again to do my volunteer work.  When I questioned this I was told "we are all expected to do our part and if we can not then we should be looking for other jobs."  Mandatory volunteering is no good!  OH, by the way, this is the same company that wanted us to lie to a federal agency about the security of the facility!

Answer 4

I have no problem with it as a requirement for high school graduation because I think it teaches important things.

Answer 5

That is not a good idea.  Volunteers serve their cause because they are altruistic, not because they are forced to do something.

Answer 6

no such thing.

Answer 7

if it is mandatory then it is no longer volunteering.. DUH>>>>>
