How can I opt out of receiving those pestering united way emails. They are sending us 1 or 2 emails of those per day. Come on! Give it a break for heavens sake!!!

I don't associate with united way. Who knows what the hell they are really doing with donation money. I certainly don't want my name tied to it just in case it ends up being a scam.
Years ago I setup filtering rules to send all UW and safety spam straight to the Junk folder unless it’s specifically directed to me.
No more pain or hassle or vomit-inducing propaganda.
Haven’t missed anything.
Clean inbox and staying Koolaid free.
@utw - sorry, but you’re mistaken. Even after you have returned your company laptop, you are still on all of the Department distribution lists. It takes a while for those responsible to remove your i.d. From those lists. You’ll be getting all of that useless cr@p until the bitter end. I know - it happened to me.
Here is an old article of where your contributions go:

The UW employees have great benefits too. I'm not saying they do not earn their money but I would much rather donate directly to the cause than go through a 3rd party.

Here's the thing.
If you are getting flooded with the UW emails - it means you are safe!
You'll still have a job in January.
So - like it or not, you're not Pipd or PiLd.
You are home safe.
So please do contribute a little for those that don't receive these UW taunts.
Just delete the email, dang... talk about first world problems
I feel your pain. I had UW crammed down my throat for 40 years!
What always amazed me was the auction where people paid for a parking spot. Crazyyyyy
These are internal company-generated e-mails, correct ? I don’t think you can label them as junk, but I set up a rule on outlook to send them straight to trash. Same with all of the other site distribution e-mails (WIN, ERG’s, Fitness Center ...)
Just set up an Outlook email filter to send them straight to your spam folder.
Usually at the bottom in small writing is some kind of opt-out on most things....IDK specifically about United Way’s begging letters.
