Coming to the Rescue?
ALISO VIEJO, Calif., Aug. 31 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Fluor Corporation (NYSE: FLR - News) announced today that it will donate $100,000 to Hurricane Katrina relief efforts supervised by the American Red Cross and United Way. This gift will be supplemented by contributions from Fluor employees worldwide. The company will match employee contributions at the rate of 50 cents to the dollar.
They say its the thought that counts - but what really matters is the size of the thought. I personally would have thought that one of the world's most admired engineering firms in the world - who stands to make substantial financial gains from insurance monies for repairing the damage, would have 1) contributed a larger portion, and 2) increased the size of their matching donation. Hell, an L.A.-based used record store is matching donations from customers "dollar for dollar".
Sorry, guys. I'm not impressed, not that it matters. Enjoy the trip to Dallas.
