>"Employees shouldn’t have to confront social issues in their day-to-day work unless they want to." - What part of that is bad?
>Regardless of your opinions, your ability to do great work should be separated from your ability to have social/political arguments.
That seems to be ignoring that the discussion these employees were wanting to have was about the societal impacts of their work, not some abstract discussion about societal issues - I don't think it's unreasonable to expect people to be exposed to a discussion on the societal impacts of their work.
Especially when the impacts are as extreme as murder (Kenosha), genocide (Myanmar), or furthering conspiracy theories (Qanon)
