Captive Audience

Has anyone else ever been to a mandatory meeting at work where they tell you that you have to give to charity? And they give you a specific charity to donate to? And tell you that they'd like to have close to 100% participation again this year? And that you can have it payroll deducted..."for those of you who are new and haven't done this before"?

First time today. At least they fed us breakfast. Bagels, cream cheese, Krispy Kreme, coffee, and tea.

A good quote:
<i>Philip Jones, a spokesman for United Way of America, says his charity discourages coercion and does not want employers to seek 100% participation in the charity. Moreover, it encourages peer solicitation rather than manager solicitation of employees.</i>

I see you've omitted the classic, "military intelligence."

I was solicited yesterday by a slightly looney coworker who I've only met once to support her gospel choir. I turned her down. If I'm going to give to the United Way, I'd rather give to them directly, rather than have my employer, who is partially funded by them, know how much I'm giving.

That's rad! Of course, I'm still in my 6 month probation period, so I don't want to rock the boat too much. Then again, I wouldn't be me if I didn't rock the boat.
