Politics at work are dandy, so long as they're the right politics and you agree with the company. Just like the time at a previous employer of mine, where we had a morning tea fundraiser for the national animal welfare organisation on the Monday and then a lunch with betting for an annual, national horse race on the Tuesday. Nobody seemed all that interested in the irony there. Elsewhere here in Australia, a number of fast food places made a big song and dance about introducing plant-based options For The Environment TM, but just recently they've quietly removed them from the menu. It's hard not to see any ethical comments/stance as simply an extension of marketing. At best, a company could be selectively ethical, but only where it doesn't affect profit negatively; I just can't see 99% of companies foregoing profit over ethics.
