Some of you have made comments that the board of directors at my ex-job seems to be on top of things... the thing is, they've had plenty of complaints from the public, from volunteers, and from current and former employees in the past year that one would think that they would have done something by now. I mentioned in a comment a while back that as far as I can tell, most of the board seems to have joined, not out of love for the cause the organization supports, but so that they can tell friends and others in the community that they are on the board. (Of course, given the current reputation of the place, they might have to get on the ball and do something if they don't want their reputations smeared by association.) Also, the one member of the board who has spent the most time at my ex-job helping out and investigating complaints about the director... is involved in minor tax fraud. He has local businesses bill the ex-job for things instead of billing him. Then he writes a check to the ex-job to cover the bill... and can then use the canceled check to "prove" that he is donating to a non-profit, and then deducts that from his taxes! So everyone is corrupt, is that the conclusion? Sigh. Plus, I've heard that the ex-boss is planning on rehiring my original replacement...
