Hollywood’s “Time’s Up” organization, set up to fight sexual harassment spent the bulk of its donations on executive salaries and only a fraction on legal costs to help victims

all those multi-millionaires who were pestering us to donate spent less than $3.6 million total on their own charity project??!! The fucking hypocrisy.

shocking

Most nonprofits are shit and mismanaged by overpaid executives and are incredibly toxic to their own employees. It doesn't surprise me in the least. My last nonprofit gave $25K to the CEO's bestie to do an evaluation of a program with a budget of $200K a year. 1/8 of the program budget supposedly to help kids went to some unqualified hack to write a five page report.

As someone who has worked in nonprofit- I do think that staff should be paid a livable wage- but you’re right - these ceos and upper management have to audacity to beg for money when they easily put back some of their salary to pay for the canine amputation or do a few more intakes the necessary - maybe pay staff a little better .🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

Especially times up- when it’s all people making millions- even a few hundred thousands a year. Fucking take a hike.

The accuracy of this comment. It is always illuminating to look up a nonprofit's form 990 and see what the top five executives are making.

We spent an obscene amount of money to a consulting firm on how to improve things. Their 20 page report was “do better and you won’t suck”.

Page Six just being the hero we don't want but we might need now?

Also, don't forget that Time's Up is closely connected to CAA, which was exposed for being extremely predatory and misogynist and for having several high-up people harass women. I always wondered whether some of Time's Up was a wise pr move on CAA's part.

It was totally smart PR on CAAs part. After they were getting in shit for agents not fighting for equal pay of actresses and more Weinstein shit they came up with this real quick and leveraged the women who happen to be married to CAA agents.

Alyssa Milano positioned herself as a prominent figure in the Time's Up movement at a time when CAA were getting raked across the coals while her husband is an agent for CAA. It was absolutely a PR move and it's why I can not stand her.

Welp, that casts a different light on all this
