Dear Amy: I am in a group of four women who have played Bridge together almost every week for more than 25 years. A year ago, one of the group abruptly cut all of us off. Through a series of texts and emails she told us that she can’t be friends with us anymore. She wouldn’t make time to see us in person. She seems to be particularly mad at me. I emailed her trying to find out what had happened.
This isn’t my first experience as an involved volunteer, and of course, I’ve also been in various workplaces. While I enjoyed and felt good about what I was doing, I overlooked the lack of protocols for safety and training, attributing it to the organization’s own growth and learning, especially in these post-pandemic years. When I tried to address issues as they arose, however, I felt unheard. Nothing was done. I haven’t felt appreciated or respected by staff or even other volunteers.
