“Passion for the mission doesn't pay rent, and nonprofits exploit this constantly”
Agree
- Nonprofits underpay staff while executives make bank
- Guilting people into low pay is exploitation
- Good intentions don't excuse poverty wages
- Passion doesn't make you immune to bills
Disagree
- Mission-driven work provides meaning money can't buy
- People choose nonprofit work with eyes open
- Limited budgets are real constraints not exploitation
- Some things matter more than maximizing income
