That is completely unacceptable. Corporations have more than enough power already. We do not also need to allow them to dictate the political views of their employees. > Based on that alone, beliefs totally aside, she was clearly unfit for the role. Correct. The role does not fit anyone willing to speak out about issues when they see something wrong or have the integrity to refuse to recant their true beliefs to keep their job.

The problem is that she was given this platform because she is president of Levi's. If she were sales-level executive, news orgs wouldn't really care that much. I agree with her opinion and love to hear alternative viewpoints, but it's difficult to separate her role at Levi's from who she is.

> Corporations have more than enough power already. We do not also need to allow them to dictate the political views of their employees. They don't. “Views” of “employees" are different than “public activism” of “corporate officers”.

  What prevents corporations from applying this to all employees? Non-competes used to be for high level executives. Now they are forced on people making sandwiches at Jimmy John's.
