American Work Culture Invades Volunteerism

My wife volunteers her time to our city. It's very rewarding for her and I encourage it. However, the attitude of the city management is appalling. I've heard reference to volunteers are a dime-a-dozen after damn near verbal abuse from a guy in charge of permits to “be careful, don't let your wife volunteer too much. They will bleed her dry and move on to the next volunteer.” I give her two more years. Exploitation is the American way.
