I was planning to donate the couple bucks I had left over from the year to the charity called “San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance”, I was doing a background check on CharityNavigator and they gave the charity full ratings so it seemed good.
Then I stumbled upon the salary section. What the fuck? I earn <20k a year and was planning to contribute to someone’s million dollar salary? WHAT.
What you are describing is blackmail.
"Pay us exorbitant salaries or we'll be forced to embezzle the funds"
It's also human nature for the kind of sociopath executive positions attract.
So we should just accept that and pay them off rather than putting in mechanisms to prevent that and hiring people who are motivated by something other than the payout?
It might seem like we have no choice but we do, collectively, hold the power of the purse here. And I think this post is a great example of that.
No, we shouldn't, but that's what is happening.
And yes, I agree.
You are not necessarily paying of the same people. Even most honest/righteous people like to be paid well. So the charity willing to pay them get those and the charities that don't pay well risk getting the kind of people who don't mind embezzling.
I am not an exec, so no it is not. It is just statement of fact.
What is "it" in your comment?
What I am describing is not blackmail. It is the same as saying that leaving unguarded food next to starving people encourages theft of said food. That is not blackmail. I am saying anything beyond that. I am not commenting on morality of the situation or what the right thing to do is. Just pointing out a fact.
It amazes me that somehow all that makes sense in your brain. Interesting.
Sorry, do I need to handhold you through it? Are you unable to figure out what the definition of blackmail is? "If you don't bring an umbrella, you will get wet since it is supposed to rain." is not blackmail. Unless you are 10, I am very concerned that you can't comprehend this.
What's not comprehensible here is your argument. I'd suggest you consider how you might learn to be a better communicator.
Good bye.
Last time I checked prison was the real alternative.
For the little people.
Would be nice if that worked. If you embezzle the money smartly, e.g. giving lucrative contracts to friends consultancy firm, there is pretty much no way to prove it.
