I think companies do make choices that lean towards the political proclivities of their founders or employees, but that doesn't mean they won't screw things up.

I think companies do make choices that lean towards the political proclivities of their founders or employees, but that doesn't mean they won't screw things up. You can do this strategy and also be selfish. Google supports liberal causes generally, like gay rights legalization back a few years ago. At the same time they certainly screwed up by following the "pay off high level sexual abusers to go away quietly" strategy, which is against their liberal agenda and so that is apparently leading to the employees doing some kind of walkout. Compare G to say "Chick fil-A" which is diametrically opposed to some things that google has supported, they are open about espousing Christianity. Chick fil-A not a big proponent of lgbtq.
