Are you referring to the CEO e-mail? [1]
"While demeaning, insulting and ridiculing minorities, immigrants and the physically/mentally disabled worked for Mr. Trump, I want to be clear that this behavior - and these views, have no place at Grubhub. Had he worked here, many of his comments would have resulted in his immediate termination."
Sounds like standard HR policy to me.

This email, and all attempts to defend it, are far worse than anything that Trump has allegedly said or implied. This is an attack on democracy itself.
It seems to me this is the free market in action. Your labor is worth so much less as a bigot that you are unemployable. Tough shit.
Unless you want to add political beliefs to "protected classes". But it was my understanding that conservatives don't think the government should be involved in mandating voluntary associations.
And the email did not say to resign if you supported Trump, it said to resign if you would engage in bigoted acts. "demeaning, insulting and ridiculing minorities, immigrants and the physically/mentally disabled" is how those acts were specified. And frankly, if that's how you're going to behave, then you have no place in any organization.
Pertinent parts of the email:
"... I absolutely reject the nationalist, anti-immigrant and hateful politics of Donald Trump and will work to shield our community from this movement as best as I can......If you do not agree with this statement then please reply to this email with your resignation because you have no place here".
Probably a lot less than half (which lack of diversity is itself part of the problem).
So, if you don't agree with what he said about Trump was true, you should leave.
And, yes, that is only one possible interpretation of that sentence. It was not specific enough.
If he's talking about whether people agree that the workplace should not be hostile, that's another thing.
It's too bad he felt the need to inject politics and the threat into this statement. He could have just stated the company policy and ask workers to see HR if they had a problem with it.
