I'm truly ambivalent about this. On the one hand, I was brought up to believe that a workplace is only for work and that politics has no place, and part of me still believes that. On the other hand, I recognize how the "apolitical" workplace serves to perpetuate existing sociopolitical structures that are grossly inequitable and sometimes even harmful to society or the planet. It's not really apolitical at all. In that context, the larger part of me thinks it's great when people vote with their feet and their wallets and their working hands, economically avoiding companies that do more harm than good (however that is calculated). Shun them, starve them, force them to dissolve and re-form into something better. That's a far better kind of disruption than the kind usually talked about here, and perfectly allowable in any market that is truly free.
