[PROCON]

I also worked for Boeing. Our managers "strongly encouraged" everyone to sign-up to donate to the United Way so our group would get 100% sign-up and he would look good to his boss.

*Spit*

[Mr. Douglas]

They told us that there would be no pressure to sign up and that it was completely free will. They said there was no “we must get 100%” rule. But when I simply declined to participate, I was called into my boss’ office and he made a REALLY strong case that I could give just $1 per paycheck. I said no, that it was a matter of principle, and amplified with “why would I buy my stocks through a brokerage firm when I have my own seat on the exchange?” i.e. all my giving is direct.

Man, was he pissed. It was my first CLM. (Career Limiting Move)
