    The last few companies I’ve worked at would schedule one day a year to go do ‘community service’. There would usually be way too many people to have most of them be utilized. And even then, most of charities we did stuff for were religious based (a couple times literally a higher-ups church).

    The HR people would spend the whole day staging photos. Then they would use this one day to brag about how much they give back. They would also post this all over social media and on their website. I think most of them honestly believed that they were some great asset to the community because of this.

      Local banks and businesses constantly donate to do-nothing charities which they themselves control and then brag about it in the local real estate and car dealership advertisement bundles newspapers even though every penny they give is tax-deductible.
