Was curious about the foundation I donate to. Turns out about 80% of the donations go to pay the executive director…

    I don’t like the implication that people working for non-profits should make less money than people working for for-profit companies.

    If a network engineer makes $130k at a non-profit versus $140k at a for-profit, they are effectively donating $10k a year to the cause. Very few people making $130k are donating $10k a year.

    Yes, there are always more efficient and cheaper ways to work, but forcing non-profits to grind and answer and defend every penny spent just makes them shitty places to work on top of the financial hit the employees are taking. 😔
