Unfair. I'm not a huge fan of United Way either, seems like a corporate scam.The Lady Who Doesn't Lunch:https://www.blogger.com/profile/16435708079953998705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26415331.post-61657241845405539982007-10-11T10:25:00.000-04:002007-10-11T10:25:00.000-04:00One other thing you forgot to mention is that to m...One other thing you forgot to mention is that to make it look like this company can boast of 100% employee participation we have to turn in the form even if we don't want to donate.
