Better to be fired from an unpaid job than a paid one. I would suggest talking to your friend and finding out what went wrong.

It's just the idea that you were so bad at something that even though you were not paid they felt the need to fire you. that sucks lol

Wow. What the hell did you do?

Yay Friendship!! :D

Your services weren't needed. Chin up! if she wasn't grateful for your help, you don't need her negativity!

The majority of people here are assuming that any help is good help, which is entirely untrue. It is incredibly hard to find volunteers in this world, so for her to fire you, you were probably placing extra burden upon other staff/volunteers, acting inappropriately, a liability in one way or another, giving the company a bad reputation, costing the company money, etc. etc. Having had to do this to a friend myself at my not-for-profit, I guarantee talks were had but went in one ear and out the other before the firing. So. Think about what you could have done. You probably deserved it.

Well now you can get a real job that pays you. You were only volunteering.

Thought it was bad until I read volunteer ?

Don't see the problem here unless you needed volunteer hours now you get more free time to do whatever or get a PAID job so neither fyl or ydi

If it was an unpaid position, they may not need the help anymore. Sometimes having too many people around is just as bad as having too few.
