And didn't say goodbye. And 2 days before she left I was volunteering for her and she was acting all bubbly and talking about the year ahead.
I feel duped. Like she'd been giving a performance. Like I don't even know who people really are. I knew her for 2 years. I don't know why this affected me so much. But it did. |

I understand it's a work relationship. It's a lesson I learned, too, honestly. And it being a work relationship is why I am confused about why its hurt so much. But what she did was ghosting, and that really hurt. She also lied / acted / performed, whatever you want to call it and that's not respectful at all.

I would disagree it's a work relationship. Volunteers are there giving of their personal time. Volunteers have personal relationships with the nonprofits they volunteer for. As someone with nearly 20 years experience in the nonprofit field, this was poor treatment of a volunteer. Volunteer coordinators typically let volunteers know they will be leaving and give them a farewell email and thank them for their service. They'll also introduce the new point of contact.
Woven, you are justified in feeling this way.

Maybe something suddenly happened to her/in her life? Just as an alternative thought. |

I had the same thought as Alive99. It could be that something happened and she had to leave abruptly. She may not have known she was leaving the last time you saw her.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
