There’s a donation quota, and if you fail to make that quota during the training period, they fire you. Once you make it past the training period you have to miss your quota for 2 weeks in a row to get fired, but still, you only ever have 2 weeks of job security. The quota also doesn’t make allowances for circumstance, like cold weather making people more brusque and less willing to talk to strangers. Speaking of cold weather, canvassing in winter is miserable. I wear 4 layers when I’m out in the field (base layer, sweater, coat, mandatory vest) and I’m still freezing. I go to bed at night with my body still cold.
