Everybody on the earth wants to make the world a better place. Returning maximum profits isn't part of that (unless you're a shareholder). Companies exist to make money because that's all that we've expected of them. Now people expect more. Talented people are no longer permitted to be assholes because they're too valuable. And it's about time.

How is this connected to politics at the workplace? You don't have to choose between a Steve Jobs-style CEO or a company openly declaring most people quitting have a certain skin color. Those are both not desirable imho, and neither need to be a part of the job.
