I work for an insurance company and every all employee meeting we hear about the desire to fight systematic oppression, what we are doing to combat that, and how we can promote diversity. The CEO even worried about how we don't have a good diversity of thought and how we need to make people more comfortable being themselves. But throughout the whole meeting it's heavily implied that conservative voices aren't wanted. He even made a comment that implied trump is a joke. Not to mention we won't go back to the office until 2021. Just needed to vent where people will get me.

Edit: just made it a bit more vague so i don't accidently dox myself. I trust you guys, but i'd rather be careful.

Record an executive making statements that "suppress your political views" in the work place. Speak with a lawyer about having a fear express yourself in the workplace due to being retaliated against due to political bias. Open up a conversation with management about your intentions and let them know you've retained a lawyer and they will normally settle instead of going to court.

Do that after you have secured another job offer.

Telling that you have retained a lawyer is an immediate message and end of the road in the existing company.

Not necessarily. A company cannot fire you for hiring a lawyer to defend your civil liberties. The company is now forced to address you instead of sweeping it under the rug or be faced with a lawsuit.

It’s still not a good a idea.
Always play it cool.
