This is not a certain cause-effect relationship. For example, I work
hundreds of hours of voluntary work for the Finnish Red Cross, which
has a staff of a two hundred or so paid workers in addition to the
thousands of volunteers. There are very few conflicts between the
volunteers and the paid staff - perhaps because we are all working
towards the same goal and the staff takes care of the boring routine
things, leaving the volunteers to do what they want, when they want.
