I think a guy in the comments section nailed it.
Tech companies tend to be dominated by 20-30somethings who adopt the view that being liberal is “cool.”
I work for one of these tech giants, and there are a few liberals I work with who have the courage of their convictions - They actually understand WHY they’re liberal and it’s a choice made on conscience.
But *most* of them...To the tune of 85% of them are liberal just because it’s socially acceptable to be liberal and it’s not to be conservative. Their politics are all based on “feels” and never on math.
That said, I feel like overall, my company has a 60/40 split of liberal/conservative. Most of my engineer colleagues are conservative, or at least libertarian. Most managers, trainers, marketers, and sales folks seem to lean liberal.
The executive level can’t throw themselves at liberal causes fast enough. The only thing they’re “conservative” on is keeping their H1B Visa quota as high as possible.
“Tech companies tend to be dominated by 20-30somethings who adopt the view that being liberal is “cool.””
What about the rest of the companies - Target, Walmart, GE, Macy’s, etc. etc. 90+% of large companies are run by liberals and they are not 20 something.
