And to be honest, I feel it puts the people that are paid to work on

involving the community slows things down simply because the volunteers
aren't available during the day. So now you have the interesting
situation where the paid Doers can literally accomplish more than the
rest of the group and therefore in a meritocracy they have an advantage
of being more valuable.
Sometimes it works out that way -- but a lot of times it doesn't.
Sometimes the paid Doers have to accomplish things that are Boring But
Must Be Done -- and the great advantage of unpaid Doers is that they
can frequently focus on the interesting/innovative work, because a
manager isn't breathing down their neck.
That is true, though I think I lost a lot of street cred when I got
hired. Even those in the know I think don't totally trust RH's actions
but I'm not quite sure why.
