Today, I got demoted at my job. Instead of working with patients, they want me to file. The thing is, I'm a volunteer; I work for them for free. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I got fired from my volunteer job. FML
Today, I was demoted at work to a much harder and more time-consuming position because, I quote, "You have more experience." My boss is now telling the others I volunteered to be moved to the lower position. FML
Today, I was demoted from my job because I didn't volunteer to help out with my job during COVID-19. I texted them on the day of sign-up to see if they had enough people. I was told since I was there not to worry about it. FML
Today, I was fired from my local animal shelter. I was a volunteer and am currently in school for veterinary technology. My education made the paid staff at the shelter feel threatened. FML
Today, I got demoted at work and had a pay cut taken, all because I got sick from cancer and haven't recovered well enough to do every task. We are not short staffed. FML
Today, I was forced into accepting a "promotion" for a position that pays less than what I get right now. FML
Today, I was fired. Not only was I fired with no warning, not only was my friend the one who fired me, but I was fired from the unpaid volunteering position I took to help her out. FML
Today, I received my 12th rejection letter for voluntary work, as I don't have enough experience to be paid. I can't even work for free. FML
Today, I quit my job, mainly because I didn't work enough hours and thus, earn enough money. In the past, they said there isn't any other paid work they could provide. They've now added different tasks, more money, and more hours to the position. I'm helping to find a replacement for a job I would otherwise apply to. FML
Today, I got fired from the community service I was doing out of kindness. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I'm suprised you actually had time with patients. Usually the volunteers are strictly paperwork and receptionists.

Maybe they don't like how you work with the patients. You should ask for an explanation of why they moved you. But look on the bright side - at least you're making the same amount of money. You're still volunteering and doing good work, it's just different good work.

If you don't like it then quit. They're not paying you so enjoyment is your only reason to stay.

So you didn't get demoted. Volunteers don't get to pick where they volunteer, they fill in where the place needs them.
