Yeah but for non profits it’s worse than for profits and that’s the point. At for profit companies everyone (the board included) is trying to make money. That’s the end goal, and most decisions go towards that goal so even if employees don’t agree with a decision, they can at least see the decision as coherent towards an agreed upon goal. At non profits the board and the employees desires are much more likely to be in large conflict in my opinion because the board has no financial stake in the company. This OpanAI thing is a huge example of this but it also happens all the time at normal non profits. The board at non profits is randos with jobs separate from the non profit being on the board for fun but they get ultimate decision marking power when the employees actually work there and spend 40 hours a week or whatever doing shit for the company.
