I think it is funny that certain people who are so fortunate to make $30 per hour, with access to overtime, no college education required, take issue with donating money to those who haven't been so fortunate.
How do so many people on this forum come to the conclusion that because certain UPS employees have a definite distaste for either the United Way itself or the manner in which UPS (not all the time, but often enough) heavy-handedly solicits UW donations, that those certain UPS'ers "
take issue with donating money to those who haven't been so fortunate", to use your words.
GIVE ME A BREAK.
As if the UW was the only charity, or the only worthy charity, in the ENTIRE UNIVERSE.
As if (
because, you know, no college education is required for this job) us hourly's couldn't possibly organize our lives enough to give regularly to a charity unless it was through weekly deductions from our checks.
Before the haters chime in, I actually donate to the UW through UPS, mostly because it's easy. I think the UW has it's flaws (like many organized charities do), but I don't give all that much and it's not the only charity I donate my money and/or time to.
I'll beat a bunch of y'all to the punch: I realize I can specify where I want my UW dollars to go to, but in most cases I certainly don't need the UW to be the middle-man for where my charity donations go...
Point being, when someone posts that they aren't all that comfortable with the UW or UPS's not-so-sometimes-optional 'donation' format, and y'all respond with the why-do-you-hate-the-less-fortunate-line, that's just a WEAK argument.
Feel free to flame.
