I don't want to risk doxxing myself, but I can say that in the case of Chevron under CEO Mike Wirth it has definitely gone left-wing. It was mostly non-partisan and business-driven before, but not now.
Here's what's changed under his regime:
(1) More celebrations of gay pride. Chevron already was progressive on homosexuality, being based in northern California, but there is increased emphasis. Transgenderism and pronouns have recently become topical among management.
(2) More screeching about "diversity". Previously, the company defined diversity in terms of life experience and educational background, but now it's all race, gender, and sexuality. The recent trend is something called "unconscious bias" where everyone is presumed bigoted unless explicitly anti-white and anti-male.
(3) Recent managerial telecasts have featured self-criticism sessions where managers and executives confess their "racist" experiences and behaviors and make vows to promote diversity. None actually thought or did anything racist, but fault themselves for not being sufficiently progressive and insist they will be from now on.
(4) The Mississippi flag, which featured a small Confederate flag, was banned in Chevron facilities and the company successfully pushed the Mississippi state government to change the flag. There us a push now to rename Pascagoula, MI refinery street names away from Confederate Generals.
(5) The current re-org (layoffs) track the race and sex of each org level before and after. If planned layoffs do not increase the presence of women and non-whites, then management is forced to make alternative selections. Basically, it's a purge of whites and men especially in middle management.
