Sometimes my company pisses me off |
|
and then there are the times that I can say I'm damned happy to work for them.
I work for a member of BigPharma so it's a pretty easy target and even I, as a scientist, am not always happy with the decisions and directions. Then the Haiti earthquake hits and this comes in my email.
The NAME REDACTED (but it wouldn't be hard to figure it out) foundation will match two-for-one contributions made by employees in the U.S. and Puerto Rico to the following organizations assisting disaster relief efforts in Haiti. • AmeriCares • American Red Cross • CARE • Catholic Medical Mission Board • Direct Relief International • Doctors Without Borders • Partners in Health • Project Hope • Save the Children
This is in addition to supplies of medications and company cash already on the way.

In addition to medicine/antibiotics that we send to every disaster area they are kicking in $250000 before any employee donation.
The folks I work with are pretty generous so I expect it will climb significantly.
