[QUOTE="Floridacargocat, post: 574320, member: 6168"] Well, I have been badgered to donate, and I have refused. I have refused for the very simple reason of being talked to in a way ( in a clearly disguised manner) "that it would be good for my career", that UPS is the only one allowing United Way to use their name for United Way purposes, and "we all are "voluntarily" donating. I am not using my special expression for this as it would reveal too much. I am contributing by other means, by helping out in our charity events such as painting houses whenever asked by my FT sup, and by donating to worthy causes when it comes to UPS associates in need in our building. As a PT sup, I am not getting that much, and every cent counts (and I am grateful that I have this position, and I do my best to do whatever is necessary), but there is a limit. I am not heartless, but I also have to look after certain priorities. Oncee these are attended to, we can talk. I have seen poverty in places where UPS has not yet been, and I have adopted two kids in a country far from here. One has developed into a bright young man, full of promises, the other has succumbed to the allures and temptations of the "easy" life in the USA. There are many other possibilities to be charitable, in kind and in mind. United Way is not the only one. [/QUOTE]
