Yes, and no. Either way, the workers got the money right? So essentially it doesn't matter. However as a company I think they deserve my money for this.

People with excessive wealth tend to give away what seems like huge numbers to us regular folks, but it's just a drop in the bucket to them. I scoff at their "charitable" actions... charity without taking a personal hit doesn't even warrant a thank you. Like when my family "gives" to goodwill? It's a bunch of old crap we weren't using anyway, and honestly Goodwill pays us so that we can get rid of it (through tax write-offs).
I expect most of you to dismiss my post as nonsense, but we (in the united states) are a society based around the idea of servitude. Our shackles are no longer made of iron, but rather plastic.
I'm jaded as hell, aren't I?

Ugh...philosophies like yours make me physically cringe. Giving is giving is giving. Grow up.

But in terms of charities:

'Give a man a fish and it will feed him for a day, teach a man how to fish and he will feed himself for a lifetime'.

It wasn't a PR stunt, the company didn't announce it. Anyway, it builds worker loyalty, which in the highly competitive world of electronics, is big.

I think you misunderstood my statement. What I'm trying to say was that $300 is actually a lot for these workers, it just doesn't sound a lot here in the US. So it's actually very good.

Heck, I wouldn't reject a free $3 surprise, never mind $300 biggrin.gif
