       In my 30 plus years of working, I've only been with 2 companies
       for a total of 4 years that I didn't feel some pride in working
       for the company.

       All companies are "out for the money." Even the ones who still
       treat their employees decently. There's always a new manager or
       CEO waiting in the wings with plans to squeeze a little bit more
       out of the workers, and companies whose profits depend even a
       bit on leveraging their employees' generosity are capable of
       turning a nice voluntary gesture into something that's
       essentially required off-hour employment at no pay.
       There was a well-regarded artistic factory near where I grew up.
       Apparently you had to "donate" at least one weekend a month to
       "volunteer" work, so the company could proclaim its noble
       devotion to good causes. If you didn't, you were considered "not
       a team player" and would soon find yourself being constructively
       disemployed.

       Sorry, I left out a word... Companies that are only out for the
       money.
       I'm not arguing that some companies do not abuse the concept and
       the example you indicated would be what I would consider abuse
       of the concept. I'm just saying that I don't think it is always
       the case and there would be instances where I personally would
       be ok with sharing my personal volunteer activities with the
       company I work for.
