In her defense, it may not have been HER who thought recent grads had money to give, it was probably her manager or whoever was running the fundraiser. I can't tell you how many times I've been yelled by people we called just because I was doing my job correctly and following the script.
But I totally agree with you about the recent grads thing. I hated when we had to call recent graduates! I always felt bad asking them for money. It's like, these people JUST graduated! These people are probably just starting to make money, and I'm sure that's going towards more important things like student loans, living situations, etc...I could never understand why we didn't change our first ask amount from $200 to like $25 for recent grads...it just made no sense.
So glad I quit that job.
