(Job -> salary, simply!) but also a lot of moral/ethical expectations. What went wrong with a stricter management were those expectations being frustrated. There's a certain turnover between the volunteers and the paid staff, which should never be forgot. In a future board composition I think a seat (maybe non voting) for employees could avoid (or at least warn against) catastrophic failures in management.
