Your CPA firm is organizing a one-day-long CSR activity using company time, such as cleaning up a dirty road or picking up trash on the beach. A colleague tells you: This is so stupid! I already have so much unfinished work. Now to take a whole day away from work? Come on! I dont mind CSR. If the company is serious, why dont they donate one day of my earnings, which I am sure will be more than the value I can generate by cleaning up the road or picking up trash for one day? With that money, they can just hire someone to do a better job than I would. What are you going to say to her? (Your colleague makes US$73,000 a year and on a per-day basis she makes US$200.)
