My job is having a breast cancer walk coming soon and our office director asked me if I would like to walk in it. I said I’d think about it.

But honestly, my gripe with it is that it’s for Susan G Komen and I cannot stand that organization. The overhead they spend is enough to show that they are not the charitable organization they claim to be.

My aunt had breast cancer (and beat it) and my dad passed from prostate cancer, so I understand and fucking hate cancer, but I don’t want to support organizations that take advantage of it for their own profitable gain either.

What’s the kindest way I can respond to such a request without coming off like a bitter dick?

    Yeah, don't do this, especially with your boss. All he's gonna hear is "I'm shitting on this nice thing you're trying to do."
