Went to be a manager with habitat for humanity at a restore. Hoping to make a difference.
After being there for a short time and offering up many ways to make additional profit and being told by upper management no it became frustrating.
I went to management with those complaints also complaints about volunteers hearing other volunteers brag how they were in prison for murder and another for Rape. The management said they don't do background checks to expensive.
I said every major retailer does for the safety of customers and staff they just didn't care.
I then went to Hr told them the issues instead of helping they told management and those individuals than threatened staff and ignored the volunteers.
To make things even worse they would play favoritism with staff if friends. Like with donations even though there was a list of items they would not take they would take them and not care even though they cost money to get rid of.
And donations would lie about taking g donations from large colleges or even businesses if they didn't like the people.
And when OSHA investigated them regarding unsafe work condition in store they lied and said a staff member never was injured or volunteers even though we had a broken arm, broke heal, broken toe, hammer to a head.
And if staff or volunteers complained to CEO or board of directors it was blown off.
And majority of the issues were from one manager who should of been terminated but wasn't even though there was tons of emails sent in on himppp
