volunteer
Volunteers, otherwise known as unappreciated, abused help. I'm feeling a little vindictive about the many tasks I am asked to do without any appreciation. After spending a full day and more at work, many of us are asked to spend a couple of hours in the evenings and our weekends helping organizations without a verbal thank you.
Being a overworked volunteer many times in my life, I have learned to analyze the behavior of organizations (and their people) that abuse their volunteers. Usually, the organizations that maximize the use of their volunteers are the same ones who make it known how appreciative they are of their volunteers. Many people are willing to work for their ideals but when the tasks become mundane or too many, a simple thank you will go very far. Also, this is true for work.
