I contribute either for similar reasons to everyone else. I don't get it. I don't get any PAC. They shouldn't be necessary or legal.
That said a couple things to note, the PAC is really like a couple people. It's not SLT. It's not fun on company dollars. The ONLY way the PAC is funded is with associate dollars. If you don't want the PAC to exist, don't give any money.
And seriously. Of all the things involved in RIF, your PAC contribution doesn't matter. The few PAC associates are just as likely be laid off. It's funny to me that anyone thinks our systems are sophisticated enough to make decisions based on actual data. None of the systems talk to each other. So even if we wanted to be shady and of course we do, we can't because we don't want to pay for things unless they're flashy and marketable by digital.
