Would you ever do volunteer work for a for profit organization?

[Cheese Wagstaff]

Personally, I say no. Really you should try and benefit non profit causes with your volunteer time. Wondering though if anyone here disagrees and thinks you should spend your free time helping an organization make more money while allowing them not to actually pay for necessary labor? If so, why?

Do you know so called “volunteers” don’t even get paid?

 

[Ceremony]

I've got rights, I'm a... I'm a paid voluntary worker, he's got to give me notice.

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

Nope

 

[Cheese Wagstaff]

Nope

Agreed. Anyone who would spend their spare time doing free labor to enrich a for profit corporation needs to reconsider their priorities.

 

[LarryFisherman]

I would volunteer in the form of an internship at a for-profit company if it could benefit me further down the road in my career/life. Absolutely.

 

[jw2]

Sure, in rare situations.

For profits can still do good for the community. And for profit doesn’t mean they make a large profit.

I'd work at McDonald's for free if they'd let me. I'm a huge fan of their contribution to society and would give my body, mind OXFORD COMMA and soul in order to see their movement flourish.

Say, in this hypothetical, instead of getting potential career skills you were just deleting posts off of a message board.

Then, in that case, I would hypothetically jump into traffic on a route known for transportation of heavy semi-truck machinery.

Sometimes I use the Oxford comma and sometimes I don't just to upset people who have preferences both ways.

 

[Dont Toews Me Bro]

Absolutely not.

Well, be prepared to meet your maker.

I like how this thread still exists

"The Lounge deleter" should have gotten it by now

 

[VickAshley]

Nope

Don't you literally volunteer at McDonald's as a market research consultant like literally every single morning when you buy their coffee for your cross-word puzzle parties and tell them how it's not as good as it was in the old days when they literally didn't even serve coffee you just remember it that way?

It’s a thread discussing class consciousness and whether or not we as Labor should enrich the capitalist f***ing pigs for no benefit of our own. Why should thy be deleted?

KRAMER: Over there. The Dominicans.
JERRY: Aren't they supposed to be rolling cigars?
KRAMER: Well, it didn't quite work out, and now I've got nothing for them to
do.
GEORGE: So?
KRAMER: So, I taught 'em all about Cuba, and they really took to it. You
know, Marxism, the Worker's Revolution, the clothing.

In the corner, one of the Dominicans thumps the table, as if to underscore a
point in his argument.

JERRY: Boy, they seem pretty angry about something.
KRAMER: (nervous) Yeah. I'm a little worried. When there's no work, and the
people get restless, who do you think they come after? (pointing to himself,
shrill) El Presidente!
