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.
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

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.

It’s not often that I can post this song in a manner relevant to a conversation.
Can’t resist. Leon Redbone. Song begins at around 1:30. Enjoy.
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.
“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”
“Money!”
they are thinking “oh crap we have no idea how to survive in this market we are going to die, thrash and do anything to survive”
Siding with the community is one thing. I couldn’t understand the core demand of the community, though.
Apparently, the community wants to ban AI-generated answers. But it’s unrealistic to filter AI-generated text, and I thought the quality control has been done through user votes anyway.
