[NOT OC - REPOST]

I've posted in the past about a horrible non profit I volunteered with then managed the fundraiser for until 2021. After leaving, many of my staff reached out to me for help in various ways. I helped them because they're great people, and the board of the nonprofit were acting terribly, like Elon Musk wannabes with actual illegal treatment. The nonprofit sent a lawyer cease and desist to me about interfering with their operation. This was after I supplied old employees signed letters stating things like their promotion wasn't temporary, their raise wasn't just during pandemic lockdown, the bursary for the student didn't have an expiry, etc. I replied very harshly to the nonprofit and they back pedaled quickly and left me alone, which was annoying but still a win in my book.

A year later, I started getting notifications from their business Facebook pages that I created decades ago but was obviously removed from when we parted ways. I ignored it since I'm not on Facebook much anyways, and it didn't affect my life at all. It seems they ignored multiple notices from Facebook stating they had to have an actual human claim the business accounts, and eventually Facebook linked my account with the business account. Again, I didn't care and I figured their social media people would figure it out.

Now, I have their new social media person sending me (the business account) multiple messages a week begging for admin access to the platform. The old person didn't add them properly I guess, and then removed herself prematurely. I'm the only admin now, but I don't want to interfere with their operations and do anything about it. 😂

I don't get why a nonprofit would actively stop their VOLUNTEERs from helping.

it's already free labour... what do you want?
