>employees using their company to further their personal political or religious beliefs needs to be stomped.

Why? What's wrong with employees wanting some ownership of and control over the fruits of their labour?

Personally, I believe the reckoning that Tech is now facing is a direct result of decades of ethically-bankrupt profit-chasing and the cults of personality that certain CEOs nurtured and their fans exacerbated.

I think a little humility, particularly in the upper echelons of the tech sector, is past due.
