The final company I worked for, a Fortune 500 group, was desperate to show their active social nature. They were (frantically, in my opinion) searching for causes to support. I suggested veterans or boy scouts. There was a sort of shocked, open-mouthed silence around the table. I realized, correctly, I would not be invited to another meeting. It turns out they were looking for PC cred. (Apparently, I missed the dog-whistle cues.) Since their customers were government militaries there was no danger that conservative groups would stop buying their weapons systems, though.

While they made inroads in the 1990s, liberal advocacy within corporations seems very high these days even though it does not boost the bottom line, benefit shareholders, or employees.

They fund movements in opposition to my political, religious, and ethnic identity. They impose political re-education in the name of "diversity training" and other corporate compliance programs (attend a lecture, or take an online video course, and sometimes you are simply tested on it afterwards to indicate completion of the training).

And still the Left insists that the corporate world (including Big Media) is conservative because "they are capitalists".
