Would you volunteer knowing you might be causing someone to lose their job?

At your local hospital you want to help out , but by doing that it would mean a paid employee might lose their job, would you still volunteer?

This happened here, the hospital said it can save money by replacing paid workers with volunteers.

    And, I believe that we need to start making people who are long standing welfare recipients start earning that money. If that means sending all the illegals back to Mexico, oh well. You have no idea of how bad NOT doing this hurts us all.

    so you are saying a paid worker should lose their jobs to volunteers, those people who lost their jobs might end up on welfare if no other jobs are avalable.

    Many modern companies have begun using tactics such as that.
    They replace a full-time employee with two part-time employees, so they don't need to pay them any benefits.
    They replace qualified employees with those who are under-qualified but willing to work for a lower salary.
    It's not a good sign and it harms society as a whole, but the company profits, so that's all they care about, the "bottom line."

    If it would cause someone to lost their job, I might think twice about volunteering. :)

    Any company that starts a scheme like this is likely to start laying people off, anyway.

    Jobs are hard enough to come by, If somebody is lucky enough to have one, I`m not gonna stand in the way of that. People tend to volunteer because they like the idea of making life better for others, but doesn't it go against that if your stepping up is going to take someone's job? That is hardly making someones life better.

    Especially if it were a union job I was getting rid of.
