Well, not the people who make the real policies, sure. But itâll definitely be going to people who make local policies that make volunteer life difficultâŚ
I think it would be interesting is someone who was leaving a post but not the organisation fired an email out.
E.g.
Adjusted for frustration, these formal letters could be quite enlightening

I recall speaking to an old Wg Cdr who had changed from a hardliner much feared to having a more relaxed way about him. He said he changed because he spent 18 months âatâ HQAC on project and soon realised the cmdt, was going through the motions for a couple of years in their sunset posting and the RCs and staff in general, werenât particularly interested except when it came to pay day. Which when you compared it to even the laziest adult staff, they were far more committed to the ATC, than those getting paid to be in charge. He said he didnât feel he had the right to ball them out, when people at HQAC were completely disinterested. He ran a business and said there wasnât one he would employ.
It changed my perspective and when it comes my resignation will be âsee yerâ as any more, regardless of where it goes will make not one iota of difference to those getting paid to do it. Even the most vitriolic letters would be ignored as all way through the CoC they are not bothered because despite mitherings they know the volunteer staff will put up with all the BS HQAC etc dump on us. Maybe if we werenât so obliging, things may change.

No, but a lot of welding today in a warehouse with no AC. Very very hot.
Ouch, yes! Iâll stop complaining⌠-
I said we could all go relaxed dress for next few weeks and Iâm sat under the air-con in my shorts and t-shirt⌠Walking up the town to get a sandwich was bad enoughâŚ!
Every time I get an Ice Lollie, or a bacon sandwich > some idiot calls me on the phone and takes me down a rabbit hole for 10-15 mins whilst I endeavor to try to prevent it melting / going cold.
Donât answer the phone

I work in my loft, which seems to be the most insulated loft conversion known to man kind, its a east facing sun/heat trap
Sounds like a boss to work for?
Just finished a week and a bit of âfun scienceâ starting with staff INSET last Monday, staff all 12 again.
Followed by a transition day and year 5s from local primaries coming in for taster days. My first time doing these, it was the most fun even though it was tiring.
