In most places and industries other than IT employees do their work and get paid. IT is the only industry where they seem like they are activists first and then employees later. I doubt they would be able to do this sort of a thing in for example an insurance company or a petroleum company. I probably think its a mix of scarcity of talent and the political leaning of silicon valley. Either ways, looks like people hired to do something else are calling the shots and people that are supposed to make decisions are getting walked all over. Any other industry would put these activists in place and be told to focus on doing work or quit and get into politics.
