Re: Grinding Away..Things that grind your gears, part three
I have a looong memory. United Way ****ed me off about 30 years ago when they used to make a big competition between companies about who had the highest participation rate. They used supervisors to try to bully everyone into contributing. As a result I will NEVER give them a penny. (We give to Salvation Army and Catholic Charities in a big way.)
United Way came to my former workplace and spent an entire day hassling everyone in the building to donate. I told them I was not participating and they then tried to shame me into donating by loudly proclaiming how important it was, blah blah blah. The guy raised his voice and basically made it clear to everyone in the vicinity that I was not going to donate. Like that's going to make me want to fork over my hard-earned money to you? I told him to get lost.
