Gimmeabreak is right. How much time is spent on the company dime raising money for the United Way? How many hours are spent sitting at a table collecting $5 for Jeans day? The solicitation is non stop and year round. Is anyone else done with this?
I understand times are not good, but as UPSers (at least for the ones still here with jobs) we are doing better than a lot of others out there that could use our help. There is a history at UPS of being a part of our communities and volunteering. This is another one of those things in the “old” UPS that made it such a great company. Do we eliminate one of the few remaining qualities UPS has just because a few at the top in UPS want to change us into nothing more than another big company? True it is not the most cost effective way, but it does generate monies for a good cause and it does provide for a little fun (there is not much of that left in UPS).
