What in the heck does that mean?
So, I'm against trashing a company because of any number of smear campaigns - satanism, homosexuality recruiting. Gee, sorry. Thought we were to fight political battles here - not destruction of top corporations over some claim someone decides to post on FR.
Wonder if any one ever thought that maybe diversity and political correctness might be the root cause of this nonsense rather than the evil empire of the corporation.
Companies have to be diverse nowadays. So, if a corporation decides to allow employees to get grants or whatever over community activities, then they have lost the right to "control" which activities those employees pursue. So, an employee is an activist - they are abusing the system not necessarily the whole corporation.
Don't you think there are plenty of people at P&G that find such activism irritating?
I would expect that this is not the corporate culture but the fact of diversity and pc directives being grasped by the activists who landed jobs. Then what recourse does the corporation have?
It is not always the corporation to blame - it is individual employees, government directives run loose.
Ever given any thought that in many corporations (but not all or even close to all), these are one in the same? In other words, ever thought out the evidences that a number of corporations have intentionally pursued the corporate philosophical foundation of diversity and political correctness?
To a small degree, perhaps most companies have at least eaten at this trough. But there's a significant difference between companies that have taken a swig of p.c.ness vs. companies that are wholly devoted and intentionally, consistently unholy through and through.
And that is where comments made by some on this thread along the lines of "Well why don't we just boycott all corporations then?" are off-line.
I have parused screening profiles of companies involved in the "vice" industries and/or promoting homosexuality. As of several years ago, the number of companies that were consistent and intentional in promoting these kind of philosophies numbered about 7% of all publicly traded companies.
That is not overwhelming. So stop defending the 7% just because it hurts your personal profitline. Nobody's tarring all of Corporate America. We reap what we sow. And if we want to reap profits on the back of unholy agenda companies, then we need to also take in what they sow.
