sets giving goals based on each employees annual salary. You have
completed your initial solicitation of coworkers. And several of them
declined to contribute, while others have pledged amounts well under
their giving goal. As a result your department is a few thousand dollars
short of its goal. You have a meeting this afternoon with the senior vice

contributors to pledge more. Do you think that this is a fair request ? how
would you respond if such pressure is applied to you.

even had an invtation you are considering beefing up your resume by
