Aibu and not volunteer again

[Metoodear]

So I got myself on a very important volunteer job 6 months ago as I was only working one day a week

So thought I would do some good recently I had to resign as I have a pt job 3 days a week and tbh the volunteer job needs doing well and I wouldn’t have the time as I don’t want to a shit job because I am trying to do to much

Sent a lovey letter about how much I had enjoyed myself and thanked them for the opportunity

I didn’t even get a smiley face emoji back
Ducking rude or is it just me and they wonder why they struggle to get people

Aibu to think I should of got even a email thanking me for my time

Oops! Too many dots.
:-)

I learned 'Vacillate' yesterday; today I learned the difference between 'Acute' and 'Chronic' pain

Cider as you are so keen on learning you might benefit from knowing that 'correcting' a child's speech is not considered an effective way of teaching them.
It is likely to lead to a lack of confidence and an unwillingness to speak out.

Far better to 'model' correct speech.

HTH

Don't worry Wings most of us aren't judging you.

Thank God we have you help and educate us here; I'm sure lightbulbs have been pinging on all afternoon as people read your illuminating posts .

You still didn't answer my question: would you correct someone (that you didn't have educational or professional responsibility for; or that hadn't asked your advice, or who wasn't a friend) in RL?
I'd wager you wouldn't, because it's chuffing RUDE! Funnily enough, it's rude in this medium too.

@RedSkyAtNight

A sentence should not begin with the word "but".

Maybe you have a lack of knowledge.

Oh, and as for you never use could/should/would OF. It just doesn't exist

Yes it does:
His wife would be more suspicious of single women than she would of married ones

I took more than I should of that cake

@Willow2017 could you possibly indicate where that has been said?

Lycanthropology, no it doesn't.

Your sentences are incorrect. Correct versions are:
His wife would be more suspicious of single women than she would be of married ones.

I took more than I should've of that cake.

Should of does not exist and when you even see people who say they work in schools using it on here it is very frustrating.

6 months such a short-term stint
6 months is more hassle than it’s worth for a volunteer coordinator
If you had been doing it for 6 years then you wouldn't be unreasonable.
you have put them at a loss now

Not the same thing as you said @Willow2017

Each one blamed OP for not doing it for longer, basically letting the company down by not staying on and puting her need to earn money before her volunteering.

Op has had some awful replies to her initial post.
Volunteering is just that, voluntary. Its not a contract, its not a life sentance, its doing something when you have the time and ability to do something. If circumstances change and you cant then thats all there is to it, its not your fault and you shouldnt be slagged off for it.
6 months of free work isnt bad for a company, its better than nothing at all.

I disagree lavender

No need to repeat the same verb in the first example. It's verb phrase ellipsis supported by the auxillary verb.

The second example... maybe you have a point, there should've been a 'have', but one could VPEify "could" and "should" too in a similar way to the 1st example.

YANBU - A thank you would have been nice. Time is a precious thing.

Lavender a correct version of my second example this does feature "should of" is:

I have taken more than I should of that cake.

Why don’t the Grammer poster start their own thread and not hijack this one!
OP I’m with you. A nice thank you would have been appropriate. Six months is a long time to volenteer. I don’t know many people who do it, so good for you. I’m sure you made a big difference and lots of people appreciated it.

Apologies House I was only trying to take issue with the grammar twits criticising OP, and then I became a pain in the bum myself

replies like this make me feel awful that I shouldn’t of bothered and makes me feel quite firmly that I shouldn’t again I have done a year in a homeless hostel one year in home start and 6 months in this role to know and I feel really shit about volunteering now I wish I could of stayed longer I really enjoyed it but I need to earn money

YANBU. I've managed countless volunteers. If someone had written to say they'd had enough, the least I would do is thank them for their efforts. Whether it's a few days or years. It's peoples personal time that they have (usually) willingly donated.

I was replying to ilovesooty who wanted proof you had been slagged off for not volunteering for longer/leaving the 'job' not criticising you. If you see my previous posts you will see I have stood up for you each time.

Willow2017

Thanks I am just feeling like my work has been worthless

Of course it wasnt. Just because some people dont have manners doesnt mean the rest of your co workers nor the people you helped along the way dont appreciate your efforts.

Dont let it put you off next time, just find somewhere that appreciates your time and effort.

No I wanted proof that someone had said the OP should do without a boiler, @Willow2017.

Just making it clear.

@Pleasebeafleabite

Oh ffs!

Op had to work more hours as her boiler broke down yet still was accused of "just leaving them in the lurch" more than once also "screwing over people" for not continuing.
OP does have a life outside volunteering and believe it or not it comes before doing unpaid work for other people.

And if that isnt enough to satisfy your ego Ilove then tough cheese.
