Tell Me Your Volunteer Work Experiences
Has anyone got fired from a volunteer position for not being a chatty 400 pound cigarette smoking momma? :lol
Everytime I go to my placement at the Salvation Army food pantry the other people rip me to shreds. I complained to the person in charge about being called a "midwitch cuckoo girl". Her response is that i'm different from most people.She told me I need to conform to society or I won't be much use to people. The next week I showed up for work I was called a trouble maker for speaking out against the gossipy "queen bees". Now I think i'm going to get fired for not being a chatty 400 pound momma like the other people.
Has anyone else had a bad experience with their volunteer position ?

Don't bother yourself with such a person. She likely fills her place in society well, but on the subjects she spoke to you about, she knows not what she is speaking of.
Perhaps you should volunteer with an organization that attracts a different demographic of people. For example, Habitat for Humanity, or a coastal clean up crew.
This place was not a match for you. Definitely look for a different place to volunteer.
I do appreciate what the Salvation Army does with their stores, aid, and shelters, but sometimes people are just not compatible.
