[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 413678, member: 12508"] That's great that FedEx is helping-out, but most of their giving is with strings-attached. The United Way is a perfect example. Employees are strongly pressured to give so FedEx can look like a good corporate citizen. Most FedEx charity work is designed so it can give the company maximum PR exposure. Give to charity, just don't do it in the name of FedEx, OK? If you've ever seen [I]Frontline,UpClose,[/I] or any FedEx corporate communications then you've seen FedEx mercy flights headed to various disasters throughout the world. In every case, you will also see "FedEx Cares" stickers and signage plastered over everything in the cameras view field. A[I]gain, FedEx is more interested in positive PR opportunities that preserve it's reputation than it is in providing true assistance to those in need.[/I] You say your husband is a manager. If that's true, then he's totally familiar with being forced to do community service as part of his job...once again, the FedEx PR machine working it's well-oiled magic. I personally believe in both charitable giving [I]and [/I]community service, but nobody should have to do it with a gun at their head. [/QUOTE]
