[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm retired, but when I started work in the 80s, the big deal was who raised the most for the United Way. Later on, I worked in a company where EVERYTHING was evaluated - how your wife presented herself at the annual picnic, how your kids were dressed, whether you played softball on their team, etc. it was nuts, but people who wanted to get ahead did it.
