Office Etiquette? I think this was not appropriate, and really rude! Do you

[Noelley]

think this was appropriate? I have been actively fund raising for the 2008 Multiple Sclerosis Walk in Los Angeles for about 2 weeks. I have sent inner office memos with links to my donation site, hung a flyer in the dining room, asked people to donate. MY HUSBAND HAS MULTPLE SCLEROSIS. They know this, they know the issues I and he face.... yet nobody has donated even a $1.

I work in a hospice office. We have over 20 inner office employees, 5 middle managers like me who are RN's, a General Manager who makes over 100K a year and 4 Doctors on staff. All have been notified via emails ect. Not $1. I have raised over $250 from my friends and old co workers.. go figure.

My issue? The GM the one who makes over 100K a year tossed an inner office bridal shower today for my own manger. It's her 3rd trip down the aisle. The GM made it clear she was collecting money to give to my boss for her honeymoon! Both women make a lot more than the rest of us, and to almost insist we give money as a gift really
hurt my feelings. I was offered a look in the collection bag and there were hundreds of dollars for the 3rd time bride... who makes more money than her employees. I find it hard to stomach, and even worse find it awful that they won't even help a very worthy organization instead of hitting up thier lesser paid employees for money to give to someone for a 3rd time honeymoon.
I HAVE A WHOLE NEW PERSPECTIVE ON MY OFFICE'S SENIOR MANAGMENT! I REALLY DO, AND IT ISN'T A POSITIVE ONE.
