Paid staff lets volunteer managers ethically run amuck. Is this common?

I was doing the mandatory ethical training for this org and the irony is too much so I came here to vent.

I am a volunteer for an old school non-profit. The work we do is the non-profit's product. There is no paid volunteer coordinator. The employees have a volunteer management team that does it, usually full time. For free.

I love the actual work but those volunteer managers are another story. Financial malfeasance, misrepresentation, breaking privacy, smearing reputations with made up stories. A volunteer who is an HR manager went to talk with the staff with backup and was chewed out for bothering them. She was so disgusted she quit.

It's so 'ick' I won't put the org's name on my LinkedIn. And I avoid any contact with the volunteer management.

Is this common in larger non-profits?

LDS cult leader and pedophile: local law enforcement refused to act on his recorded confesssions

Location: Arizona. Watched the Netflix documentary ‘Trust Me: The False Prophet’ about LDS cult leader, pedophile and sex trafficker Samuel Bateman. The documentarian turned evidence over, a direct confession, to the local police who refused to act upon it in any meaningful way saying a direct confession wasn’t enough to act. Was that not obstruction of justice, some other illegal act or dereliction of duty? Why was he not held accountable? And who is responsible for oversight on these issues?

Considering the NX but PHEV or hybrid?

Hello all. Was looking at the RX until I saw the IIHS data on the NX being a safer car. Then I saw the rave reviews, nice.

I'd like to get all electric and was disappointed to see it's not available on this model. Any advice on hybrid vs. PHEV?
