Thank you for posting this. I had no idea this was going on. What are companies thinking when they implement policies that hamper volunteers? You’d think they’d want to engage, and keep happy, these people that give their time.
“Money!”
“What are companies thinking”
It turns out I actually have the ability to convert thoughts to text for any company CEO or Board Member. So allow me to post an excerpt of what I’ve found:
“moneymoneymoneymoneymoneymoneymoneyiwishepsteinwerestillheremoneymoneymoneymoneymoneymoneymoneymoney”
Companies don’t even care beyond bare minimum for the labor that they pay why would they care about the labor they don’t lol
Let’s not be hyperbolic. I’ll agree MOST companies behave this way. There are plenty of companies that also value their staff, pay them well and take good care of their customers.
I bought a handcrafted cane from a craftsman in Ukraine and when a small crack formed in the handle after a few months of use. I wrote him to ask how to repair the crack and he straight up remade the entire handle and sent it to me for free. He also sent me a free leather strap for the cane.
The company is called Asterom and they are absolutely worth your money if you need/want a cane. You also support an awesome Ukrainian company.
I often come to YSK for my cane recommendations
It’s not often that I can post this song in a manner relevant to a conversation.
Can’t resist. Leon Redbone. Enjoy.

Correct my evidence is anecdotal. However your comment is completely void of any. I will agree apples and oranges are very different though.
This awfulness is usually seen with bigger companies, especially ones who are going or have gone public on the stock market.
The basic premise for a capitalistic market economy isn’t something I don’t like per se; consumers choose to buy goods or services from a company that best serves their needs (demand), and companies strive to provide that (supply), and the best providers win. Consumers get a great service or product (as exemplified in your example), and to do that, the staff are motivated and well paid to do so.
The shitty part is when both are disregarded in modern day late stage capitalism for the shareholder, which results in sheninagans that treat both customer and staff poorly, in the name of short-term profits.
Amazon customer service is great and they still treat their employees like shit.
Sure, but then they are organizations that are not yet fully incorporated (lol) into the system of end stage financial capitalism… They haven’t been commodified yet.
