[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I cannot emphasize enough how important it is for the volunteer duties and expectations to be well-organized and communicated. I have signed up to help multiple times (not just at swimming but other activities, school, etc) at places and when I show up there has no need for me, or the job is loosely defined, or the supplies are not there, etc. A time or two I have used my own executive functioning skills to solve these problems or take charge. However, I am over doing that these days after my 3rd kid. [/quote]

I hear you. It’s very annoying when you wake up early, or carve the time out to be there, and there is no need for you. I get it that they found 4 volunteers to do the job of 2 people because it was assumed that people wouldn’t show, but when 3 or 4 people show up it feels disrespectful of their time and doesn’t make them want to do it again. Or, and this has happened too many times to count, but “would you just mind moving on over to some role that you definitely didn’t sign up for and really don’t want to do because Sarah and Molly are besties and really want to work together? Thanks a bunch!”  Why can’t they just do the jobs they signed up for like adults and actually talk to someone new?[/quote]

Don’t agree to change jobs. [/quote]

What, and have those women glaring at me the whole time? Making a somewhat unpleasant activity even worse?[/quote]
