Doing any work fundamentally pushes some political view. Mostly today it's neoliberalism in some form.

I think an obvious alternative is to expect employees to actually support neoliberalism as a job qualification.

Same as if you were working for an evangelical church, you'd expect people to try and convert everyone to Christianity

say what? Someone cleaning houses, or working as a cashier is pushing political views? Is a McDonalds worker putting 'big beef' industry ideology forward?

Most jobs have nothing to do with politics as most people don't have a true choice/luxury to be choose. Often people have to work, or starve/be homeless.

Most jobs out there are not political. That includes building a simple email client.
