Hahahahaha, do I really have to fill this in?
I’ve thought about it for ages and can’t think of anything.
I’m writing this in the hope that people can better understand the miserable working conditions at NGOs. Besides the public thinking that you’re all volunteers, even the boss thinks you’re a volunteer...
There’s honestly a lot I want to say, but it’s getting late, so I’ll just write about some of the more unusual things.
1. A strange attitude toward money
Taking taxis to meetings is always fine, but if the lights aren’t turned off... or if you print on only one side of the paper... the boss will say you’re wasting money.
Oh, some people might think that this really is environmentally friendly... but the carbon emissions from traveling abroad for fun all the time (once a month?)—huh? Seems like that may have raised the Earth’s temperature by who knows how much.
And where does the money for those overseas trips come from anyway? LMAO
Oh, and the cars and houses are pretty impressive too. ^^
2. Top-notch superficial showmanship
Everything is always about fundraising and publicity...
The previous collaboration with Sun XX was absolutely hilarious.
They loudly claimed to oppose fur and breeding farms, but the celebrity they collaborated with kept pedigree dogs and wore fur..! Hello, is anyone home? As long as the other party has money, does that mean you can have no principles?
3. Clocking in for work, clocking out...?
Of course it’s a responsibility-based work system, hahaha.
If you don’t reply to messages and emails after working hours, you’ll get lots of question marks and responses saying that you’re not putting enough care into your work. ^^
4. Insufficient knowledge of animal behavior
The animal-protection association is completely lacking in basic knowledge about animal behavior. Screaming, screaming, screaming—that’s the method the bosses teach for training dogs. Oh my God, every time the dogs hear screaming, they become even more agitated. Hello, do you not know that your staff includes an animal behavior trainer? And not just one, either. Seriously, how little do you trust other people’s expertise?
5. Labor Standards Act
Hmm... I’ve heard this term is taboo there, so I’ll skip this one.
6. Intern system
Well... it’s euphemistically called “training”... but in practice, it’s just taking advantage of students or recent graduates... A tiny transportation allowance, spending all day cleaning and organizing documents. Of course, it’s not like you learn nothing... it just seems very different from how it’s described online, LOL.

It’s late—good night, everyone.
If I get more feedback, I’ll come back and tell more stories. ^^
