[QUOTE="hypocrisy, post: 750645, member: 9500"] More than 20 years ago I was required to attend a United Way presentation at our hub. The presenter told this colorful story about how he was trying to get 100% participation in the center he was solicitiing but there was one holdout. Finally he approached the Center Manager who signed the donation form in the employees name and made the donation. He told this story without the slightest hint of concern for the ethics of his actions or the managers. This was a few years before the Aramony scandal which did not surprise me in the slightest. [URL]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Aramony[/URL] Giving to Charity should be a personal choice without pressure from people who can affect your daily work environment. It does not belong in the workplace whatsoever. Just replace the pressure tactics they use with harassment language and you will see the problem: [COLOR=#0000ff]"So when you come to me selling some raffle for your kids little league team I'll be reaching into my pocket to help you out. when I come to you for [U]sexual favors[/U] and ask you to [U]give it up[/U] I expect the same in return."
