\"donatingThe holiday giving season is upon us and many people are thinking about donating to charity. If your company sponsors a specific charity, the decision to give as an employee can be a tricky one. Is this an organization you might give to anyway? Is participating in the company charity drive one of those intangibles<\/a> that might be taken into account when you try to move up the corporate ladder? Will donating get you something you want (like the opportunity to wear jeans)?<\/p>\n
