Very controlling, exploitation of free labor
My interest for Pinky promise stopped in 2018. It was absolute disappointing experience. I traveled all the way from Texas to come to this event with my best friend, when they expressed a lot of need for volunteers, I decided I wanted to donate some of my time while there. For some reason volunteering with them is more of an authoritative experience, and very unpleasant.
I feel that when they asked me to volunteer for pinky promise it was more like they were demanding me to do a full-time job for nothing. When I volunteer I choose how much time I'm going to donate period but instead they gave me this long drawn-out schedule that told me what I was going to do throughout my day from about 8:00 a.m. all the way to about 6:00 p.m., I could not have any control on how I wanted to donate my time. They even would not even allow me to take breaks when I wanted them to be taken they told me I had to follow the schedule it was extremely tasking and exhausting. Many girls in the group chat for the pinky promise volunteer was complaining and one girl even cursed and told them to stop bothering her, apparently she had already canceled her plans to volunteer because it was so strenuous. I was just amazed that they really expected me to work like that three consecutive days for pinky promise. I was like this is just literally exploitation for free labor. Just really distasteful.
