Blood donation had almost zero turn up from our company /u/Thanos_is_a_good_boy Singapore

Recently, my company changed a policy whereby we need to apply for half day leave (from our original leave pool) if we want to donate blood. Lo and behold, only 1 or 2 people turned up from the whole company in order to donate blood.

In the last few years we used to have at least 50 or even more people go regularly for blood donation. This was because the company would give an additional half day leave for each blood donation drive you went for.

This makes me think if we are really short of blood because the government keeps calling for us to donate blood, but the company removing leave for blood donation sends the opposite signal.
