> Back in the old days(!) one was expected to do one's job well, to treat others professionally - and to expect others to treat you well - but don't bring your private causes into the workplace and expect everyone to love you for it.

Excluding of course, the CEO of the company in question. He can say anything he wants, fight with and call people pedophiles on Twitter, run a crypto pump and dump scheme, spread pandemic conspiracies, etc etc etc to the point that investors in his companies have spoken up about it and now his own employees are writing letters. That behavior is totally professional and ok.

Also worth noting that in “the old days,” the sphere of “treating others professionally” didn’t encompass women, gays, blacks, Jews, and other ethnic, religious, or social minorities — and protesting that was considered “bringing your private causes into the workplace.”
