2. Charities are changing

The Mr has been working for a charity for 32 years for a very small wage for what he's done for them over the years, as well as running the place largely with volunteers so the money he raised went to where it was supposed to. Now he's reaching retirement age, the board moved him into a made up position because he's too well known and they don't dare get rid of him like they did the rest of the older staff; and they are now hiring based upon education and degrees. Of course the new people want WAY more money, and they also need paid assistants for themselves because they don't know how to do the job plus they don't want to learn from the people who actually did it for years. I'm not kidding when I say they now have 7 highly paid people doing what he used to do by himself; and the place is sadly going downhill. Hopefully he can get out of there soon, he can't stand it any more. He knows the other places in town and says they are all going that way, charity has become a lucrative business to get into. Maybe something like that is what happened with Goodwill, I wouldn't be a bit surprised.
