In one of the many day jobs I’ve held while trying to support the Muse, I was once required to raise $50,000 for the company’s annual charitable giving campaign. I’d never worked as a fundraiser before. And I wasn’t happy about the assignment. I resented the underhanded way the task was added to my job description. And that my pay would be determined by whether I met the goal or not.
What bothered me, even more, was that I was expected to raise this money from call-center employees making well under the state’s median income.
