If you don't like the amount don't volunteer. I don't understand the hostility about VDB voucher amounts.

$150 is laughable for a VDB.

As for being "forced" to IDB, that's likely because the compensation and/or alternate arrangements were not suitable. Everybody has their price.

I've seen CO IDB people when they were unwilling to go beyond $300 in voucher compensation for a significant delay. Which is funny, because IDB compensation was $400 cash in that circumstance, and others had inquired about volunteering and would have done so for $400 or $500 in voucher.
