I get that you'd like to get paid and are only volunteering for us so you can further your skills and move ahead in a career, but you took this administrative job knowing it wasn't going to be paid. You have the worst attitude. Every time I send something back to you and ask you to redo it, you grumble! Just because you're working for us for free doesn't mean you don't have to do a good job. Our reports we get you type up have to be perfect, both in its info and appearance. I know you don't think it's that important to have a certain font size or structure, etc. but it matters to us! And the odd time we ask you to get refreshments for our meetings, you give an attitude there too. You told me you're not here to be a caterer and that if you were, you would have taken a hospitality course! Now you're always leaving earlier than you used to. Ok, we're flexible about when you work (usually you work two 6-hour days per week, and it can be any day Mon-Fri), but for the past few weeks, you've been putting only 5 hours in all week. Of course, now you're getting behind and you don't seem to care. I hope you realize that we have fired volunteers in the past and you're on thin ice. You better get your act together and lose the shittude if you want a reference from us. —It's Hard to Find Good Free Labour
