Ever heard the expression, "time is money"?Tourist looks like selfish might be a better word.
Do the poor get fed if everyone donates their time and no one donates the food or money that feeds them?
My center manager asked and before he could complete the sentence, I said NO thanks. The next day he told me he was offended by the way I said No. I said, in all the years I've been here, have I ever donated to United Way through UPS? I'm a runner and a lot of the money raised at races goes toward United Way donations. I guess I do donate.
Guilt trips are so funny. Dave, you're sounding more and more like a supervisor, each day.

i wouldn't give a penny to any charity in the name of ups. when they hand out out the donation sheet i check the no thank you box. just did it last week. if i want to give to united way or any other charity i will call them and send them a check in MY name. not ups
Yeah...I have to go with Upstate on this one...
Hey you don't have to donate through United Way... but you don't have to brag about how fast you can not donate!

so because some people decide not to give to the UW through UPS.... that automatically makes them selfish?Tourist looks like selfish might be a better word.

not sure some on here would agree with you 407. According to them, if you dont do it through UPS, that makes you a stingy miser....
Oooh,,, 1 post away from post #1000..... cool
Feeling guilty?

That's what MGMT would want. Me? Not at all!
thats the second time you used the management line. Thats often how management badgers me by repeating the same thing over and over.

I was given the speach by my manager to please don't tell anyone to not give to United Way. My reply was sure I will let them make up there own mind as if I had a choice in what others give. Then he said just put a check in the circle for I choose not to give at his time and that's what I did.
Because their world is miserable.....

We (FTers) all make a good living and I fail to see how $1 per week would break anyone's budget. UPS will match $.15 on the dollar so your total donation would be $59.80.

UW are crooks, I'm sure you have heard. It doesn't suprise me UPS and UW team up. Besides, I'd rather donate my time and skill than my money, personally. That is what giving is about.
United Way Board Chairman Resigns Amid Investigation of Former CEO's Pay
Graham Denton, the chairman of the board of the United Way in Charlotte, N.C., has stepped down after a local news investigation revealed a $2-million retirement package paid to the charity’s former chief executive, Gloria Pace King, reports WCNC.
Mr. Denton was a member of the executive committee that approved Ms. King’s multimillion-dollar retirement package. Since a board meeting last week, at least three United Way board members have resigned, including Anne Caulkins, publisher of The Charlotte Observer. Carlos Evans, Wachovia’s Executive Vice President, will take over as chairman.
A story in The Charlotte Observer reported earlier this week that local United Way board members are concerned that the retirement package they approved for Ms. King might be a violation of Internal Revenue Service rules that regulate compensation for charity leaders.

united way has had their problems over the years. the teamsters have definitely had theirs. The list of teamster corruption is definitely longer. hell Hoffa junior is the first teamster president to not get indicted for something. Yet I don't see anyone here saying to withhold their union dues. I don't see anyone here saying to not support the teamsters. Don't see anyone here trying to discourage people from joining the teamsters.
85 to 87 percent of my donation plus the 15 percent ups tacks on is going to help fight some terrible neuro muscular diseases.
its going to help provide special services to those who get these diseases.
whats wrong with that?
Why would anyone here possibly continue to make posts here to try to stop me from doing something so worthwhile?

Steve's repetitive attacks using the "thats what mgmt would want" argument highlights the point that united way has become nothing more then a way to get back at manaement for some here.
Of all the crazy things said on this thread why would a guy like tourist only get offended at the cheap and selfish labels?
Perhaps when steve gets done telling us what a. great runner he is and what a great management ball buster he is, perhaps when done he can tell us why he would possibly make posts here trying to undermine the efforts we are making to make the world a better place? why would anyone try to undermine all the good that we are trying to accomplish. If charity is really a personal choice as the naysayers of UW claim then why , why , why do you guys keep trying to piss on my personal choice to take advantage of the convience of united way to maiximize my donations.
Why wouldn't you possibly support our efforts to fix the many wrongs in this world?
why?

And then these posts here. Look at me the poster says I stood up to management when they tried to get me to donate through united way to help someone in this world. I am such a strong willed person. I am so proud of myself because I looked that starving child in the eye and said ******* .
can i be any plainer? why would you brag about choosing to not help those out in need. I just don't get the selfish spiteful mentality of posters here.

I CHOOSE not to give to UW. That's my choice!
My problem is the person asking can't take no for an answer.
I've had a followup by a manager, I've been told the donation the person asking goes entirely to their church, etc. etc.
(Maybe she fails to understand UW takes a "processing fee" or whatever they want to call it before the donation is sent to her church.
(Hey, they gotta pay that retirement package noted above.)
If I put money in the basket at church the ENTIRE AMOUNT goes to the church!
If I put money in the Salvation Army kettle at Christmas it's ANONYMOUS and the entire amount goes to the Sally.
That's the way I choose to donate.
If you choose to donate fine, if you choose to donate your time or some other way, fine, that's your choice. If you choose to donate elsewhere, all well and good. If you choose to keep your money, (charity begins at home), that's your business.
Whether I choose to donate to UW, The Salvation Army, The Church of whatever, Buddha, or abused children, (a checkoff on my state income tax return), or just keep my money, it's my business.

There are thousands of charities out there. Who is trying to stop who from donating? I could care less where people put their money. However, as a UPS manager, you are in a unique position of basically being forced into donating to the UW and also strongarming your employees of doing the same to meet some ill-advised quota. So your opinion is not at all genuine, whether you want to admit that or not.
