I hear that working for non-profits in general have a bad reputation, since they tend to not pay much (despite their CEOs being filthy rich), and apparently nobody actually cares about not making a difference. They just wanna get out of paying taxes.

From my personal experience, we ALWAYS had a shitty CEO who would never listen to us. But at the very least, we had better managing attorneys who our CEO refused to keep in favor of a worse managing attorney that our CEO liked better.

Care to elaborate more?

I have, actually. How’s welding? I hear it’s like sewing but with fire.

I’m not a lawyer, I’m a receptionist/legal assistant. There are no other non-profit law firms in my area.

So what do you do when your workplace goes to shit?

To be clear, I’m not a lawyer.

How do you find jobs that aren’t on the map?

Thanks, Captain Obvious.

How do I talk to co-workers of a job that I don’t have?

My former managing attorney is looking, actually.

Sounds quite fun. You were able to live off of freelancing, too? Not to mention, shorter gigs means more skills for your resume and more connections!

How were you able to get your start freelancing?

How on earth is this off topic? It’s probably the most on-topic comment I’ve ever read on this post

How many times have you changed jobs?

According to the US-Worker-COop Directory, my state doesn’t have a single democratic workplace. :(

Thank you! And where do you find companies that have been around for a long time? Obviously, online job sites are terrible, since they’re filled with ghost jobs and scams.

Should point out: My current company has been around ever since I was born (2002), but it’s obviously not a great place to work and I know I’m not alone in feeling this way.

You didn’t read the post.
