<prompt> Human: Im not sure if this is quite the right for this sub, so if there is a better one please let me know so I can change subs.That out of the way, had a company wide meeting today and found out they have a new thing going on. Basically last year the company partnered up with a new startup that was trying to work against payday loan places. From what I remember it was basically a secured loan. You could put any amount in a week and at any point take out a loan with low interest rates. I never signed up for it because I already have two small credit cards 500 limit each and I dont even use them that much.Well today in the meeting they said in January everyone will get a 5 pay increase. But you will only get it if you put it into an account with this startup. They said they will match it with a further 5, so basically you are getting a 10 bonus to go into a secured loan. So its your money, you just have to use it they way the say you do. Theyre like this in other ways too: they try really hard to convince everyone to sign up to give donations to a charity. Call me cynical, but I cant help but wonder if they dont write all those donations off as tax breaks.Anyway, this whole scheme just feels shady as all hell. On one had, Im all for sticking it to payday loans...but giving your employees a raise for the SOLE purpose of having a secured loan seems...so sketchy.Edit: I said it in the comments, but figured itd probably get lost at the bottom. The name of the startup involved is Onward Financial.  <response>: I do not know wtf this could be but so you dont feel crazy, it seems sketchy to me too.
