Yes or No?
Yes, if they support white supremacists, neo-Nazis and other hate groups.

Kudos, that's a distinction that people confuse.That's not political though, that's just pure hate :D
Yes. I'm in the tech industry. Absolutely yes.....Political belief, political culture. Same thing.does a company actually have a political belief?
Regardless of whether you know what their belief is, it is there. Some are just more vocal. Some do it to attract business. An example being Nike vs. Under Armor. We are in times, unfortunately, that customers are often clamoring to know what side of the aisle a company sits. It's a true sign of the times.It is an interesting question about whether we know political belief and culture. I mean some companies do make statements that indicate a standing, but it seems to me that most do not (and I think that is probably best). Like I buy stationary from a company and I have 0 idea what they think. Where most of my domains are registered, I actually have no idea if they have political views or if they do what they are. Even the marketplaces where I sell, most no clue where they are on the political spectrum. I host with a major company, but zero idea what they think politically. The people that own NPs, I have no idea if they have political views (and don't want to know).

Right. I think most companies (management) are smart enough to know not to publicize their political views or ideologies with society. It's bad for business. Although lots of businesses give to charity which is a good thing.It is an interesting question about whether we know political belief and culture.

Yes, I agree with it being different depending on geography. My answer was based on my experience in the U.S. working for the largest tech company in the world. It's all political. Everyday, every meeting and every coffee break. I am actually sick of it.I wonder, and expect, there are national differences as well. It seems that in the increasingly polarized US some companies may be forced to take sides, although, ironically if they do run huge risks. In Canada it seems to me that there is no pressure for most companies to make any statements. Even in their charitable efforts, many try to be diverse across many causes. Now it is true that some companies make a choice to put charitable resources into certain causes, like Bell did in Canada with their Let's Talk campaign around mental health.

Correct...It is force feeding and "team work" is a disguise. It's really no different than what many college kids in the US deal with. In fact to combat the problem Trump just signed a Free Speech Executive Order for students.That's interesting, so corporate social engineering isn't just about company culture, "team work" and the other baloney- but of being force fed others political beliefs? I Imagine it's like punishment just to go to work. Sorry to hear that.
