Today is a good day to die.
I didn't say for whom.

My company has always supported youth mentoring and OJT for HS students. Maybe if these two ever had real jobs they might know something about it.

Not exactly. She worked for Chicago Hospitals, first as executive director for community affairs and then as vice president for community affairs. I would not call that hospital administration, as in managing hundreds of nurses and other health care workers, and planning their work schedules. I seriously doubt she managed much of a staff. That, and her university positions were more policy and pr than management. “Community affairs” is the giveaway. Lots of “representing” the institution at government and social events. But like I said, let her go first and send her staff off to mentor youth. This is like her harping on everyone else’s diet and constantly eating ice cream.
Can't we get rid of these people?
Unless she needed staff to pick up and deposit her paycheck. I also heard that her old position wasn't filled when she left.
she must be AWFULLY bored!!!!
Great. Send some over here and we’ll mentor them sweeping the floor.
Bill Clinton was doing this years ago. Monica learned a lot from his mentoring.
Hey my Mom will take me.....:o)
My firm already has a mentoring program. Does the government have to intrude on everything?
Oh, I see, a government program “aksing” the businesses of America to allow employees to “volunteer” to mentor “yutes”.
I am with mmichaels1970. I have a real problem with this:
“The program will be run by the federal agency tasked with overseeing volunteerism in the United States.”
NO WAY I would allow ANY of these govt indoctrinated progressive workers party members within 20 feet of my child!! Govt. has no place involved in any way with volunteerism, never mind overseeing it! Govt employees mentoring?? PLEASE spare us that, I have worked with some of them.
AMEN MsLady! This from the same people who force day care providers to get a license and subject themselves to onerous regulations etc etc etc, and they are telling people to just come off the street and mentor kids/ No background checks, or experience necessary! No thank you!
Exactly, I don’t know what’s wrong with these people. They’ve lived far to long in an ivory tower. It’s like they have no common sense or real world experience.
Sorry, I replied in haste and incompletely, and only to the title, which a FReeping sin.
Not a problem, I’ve been guilty of that too. Multi tasking, gets me every time.
Ever-groveling big corps will set up a department to monitor existing employees, and hire a new slew of employees expressly to ‘volunteer’ on behalf of the company. It’s the same thing big lawfirms do with ‘pro bono’ offices. They actually have attorneys on payroll who are paid to be ‘pro bono’ on behalf of the firm, while the other attorneys work for clients and bring in the big bucks. It’s all show biz.
How any of it is considered volunteering or ‘pro bono’ is up for grabs. And why the government is involved is an even bigger question.
