The reason I refused to participate in the United Way deal is that they force it down our throats, trying to shame anyone that doesn't participate.
They set it up so that they take it straight from the paycheck, at the source. They go through every department, every division, every sub-group, through HR and the various supervisors. It's insane. It's like an organized mafia.
The first year I started working in this company, there was so much pressure, in your face, to sign up. I did.
One day I was casually discussing it with a guy that's been there for a while. I don't remember how the discussion started. But he hated the whole setup so he stopped.
The following year, when they started their pressure campaign, I simply said NO. lol lol lol. Every year since, I just ignore their mails, deadlines, meetings, etc..
Full Disclosure: I was an United Way Team Captain
100 Percent Participation ... or else I'd walk right up to them, lol lol lol. As I said, 100% participation!!
I donated mine to my local community center, where I learned color guard marching, modern dancing, runway modeling, and much much more. I was Star DJ

BTW, my cousin, who is two days older than me, sits on their Board now. Most resources have switched to seniors, because people stopped having kids (when women go professional in their careers, they wait too long to have children). I'm glad I had mine early, lol. Those little suckers ain't getting on my nerves now, LOL!!

"He still doesn't understand the point," Kyrgios said about Thiem on Instagram. "We at the top get paid far too much and there is not enough to go around. It's about helping where we can, professional or unprofessional, put yourself in their shoes."
