If Employees Are Forbidden to Talk Politics, Why Do Their CEOs? | RealClearMarkets
Corporations can say that employees should do their jobs, serve their customers, and leave politics out of it — but they should also hold their CEOs to the same standard.
CEOs have taken it upon themselves to become political spokespeople for whatever liberal cause happens to be in vogue. CEOs release fomenting statements of solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement during the protests following the death of George Floyd. They condemn entire state legislatures for passing election reform laws or abortion restrictions. They even hire political activists like Colin Kaepernick to be the spokesperson for the company.
Good point.
