so i'm confused here... did they not issue out a memo to every single of their thousands and thousands of employees when the head honcho decides to make a contribution to a certain cause?

While i don't think it's right that the employees weren't aware they were bringing in $$ for these causes, I personally don't see it as a super-huge deal. There are a lot of things I support and believe in, but I wouldn't be personally offended if I found out the company I worked for donated money to a cause I didn't believe in. I guess it all depends on the person's sensitivity to the particular cause.

Even if Company ABC is donating tons & tons of money for a cause, say pro-life for example, there is always another company donating tons & tons of money for the opposite cause, in this case pro-choice.

Not everyone will be interested in what kinds of monetary contributions their company gives to whatever causes, so I think it would be in the best interests of companies to have some kind of "latest news" available to their employees so they can have access to what is going on and won't freak out and say they didn't know their company was "lying with the devil" because in all reality, "lying with the devil" is merely a point of perspective.

What one person thinks "lying with the devil" is, another person might totally disagree.
