Even if you're volunteering you still have to work towards agreed upon objectives. You wouldn't show up on a Habitat for Humanity build site an start modifying the blueprints and working on whatever you found interesting because you are volunteering and are entitled to only work on interesting projects.

An example of seemingly arbitrary and, in the eyes of shoppers, non helpful changes Johnson oversaw. What exactly was your critique?
