[QUOTE="quadro, post: 779639, member: 12850"] I cant speak for others or their experience but here's something to think about. If FedEx gives (I should say openly gives) money for cancer treatment, a house fire, some other calamity to one employee, what happens when another employee says "I want some of that"? Have you seen that show Undercover Boss? I don't see how those executives give bonuses, promote, etc an employee just because they felt sorry for them other than to garner goodwill on the show. Where does that leave the company in terms of liability for discrimination? What happens when a minority employee says "my situation is the same and I got nothing because I'm __________"? Having said that, I worked with an employee who had a house fire. We raised money at the station and it turns out that FedEx does have a fund for this type of thing. The employee got about $3k in addition to what we raised. If you can't afford to donate, then don't. Nobody is making you. For those that do donate, some do it for the right reasons, some because they feel guilty, some for whatever reason drives them to donate. Whatever those reasons are, I feel pretty good that FedEx and its employees are able to raise millions to help those that need it. In a society where you are judged by your actions you have to toot your own horn sometimes. Maybe you don't give a rat's ass but I've had the misfortune to attend a few funerals in my time. Funerals for FedEx employees and I cannot tell you how moved I was by the number of fellow employees (yes, including management) that showed up. Not everyone is as miserable as you. [/QUOTE]
