| My own experience has been that council employees often treat people working on a voluntary basis with suspicion and hostility. People giving their time for nothing often naively assume they will be given unqualified support by salaried staff if they are doing something constructive and positive but it often seems to happen that they are seen as a threat. It may be that the staff are made uncomfortable by the work ethic of some volunteers compared to their own which puts a spotlight on the value for money their employment provides. Therefore they set out to sabotage the work done by members of the community for nothing. |
