It is intriguing to consider the potential impact of the Big Society changes. Tax money will be saved by the transfer of work from public sector salaried workers to volunteers, albeit with salaried managers. The 3rd Sector already works but will volunteers be willing to pick up the sort of work which will be required? Traditionally, we volunteer becuase we are motivated to "put something back" or care about the work we are doing. But if the work contracted no longer motivates, how will the managers deal with their workforce?
