Arghhh, I hate it when companies badger their employees for that crap. I worked at Sears way back and they were always badgering you to donate an amount of your salary to United Way. One guy I worked with gave me a great idea to donate 1 cent, his point was it would cost more for both Sears and United Way to process the penny than they’d get, so that’s what I’d do. My manager could then check it off his list that he’d badgered his employee into “donating”.
A couple of years later, it came out that the President of United Way was using the funds to fly on the Concorde and such.
The current president draws a salary of over $1,000,000.
Pretty much soured me on donating money to anybody.
