Is it wrong to resent your employer for donating hundreds of thousands of dollars to charity while their own employees are being underpaid and overworked?

My employer has been piling job duties onto my department for over a year now, refusing to give us raises, pays us less than some retail establishments (we work healthcare), refuses to acknowledge our understaffing problem, has laid off staff left and right to hire poorer people abroad, then they had the audacity to show their “appreciation” for us by offering free t-shirts with their own logo on them, and they just recently donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to charity. I support the charity they donated to, but after their blatant refusals to pay their own employees what we’re worth and treat us as actual people rather than robots, I can’t help but to feel like their donation was just to make them look good. Am I wrong to resent my employer for donating so much to charity before taking care of us first?
