The problem here is that the office is deeply interwoven with the political. Part of this is that, as they say, "the personal is political". But let's set that aside for a moment, because we could make the case that in-office personal matters (e.g discrimination) is legally covered. (I'd debate that, but that's more political than HN likes to get, so... setting aside)
Even then, companies have political impact. When the CEO of Citizen decides hate mobs are a good idea, and he sponsors homeless hunting for sport with a $30k bounty, that's political.
If your company decides to sell surveillance software, that's political. More so if they pick specifically whom they sell it to or not. If your company decides to oppose or not oppose attempts to get at user data, that too is political - either way.
And worse, if your company decides that since they have money, they should get a voice in the political process, that too is political.
