So you are arquing that
a) publicly companies can't have anykind of idelogoue because it would distance them from potential customers
b) but they can still demand it from their employees and even refuse to work with employees they disagree with their ideology
Isn't above quite insane way of facing world? How do you know when companyes internal policies and values clash with customers? You can't know, because they are always symmetrically opposite. Other is ultraliberal, while other is anything but.
I'm not also convinced that having ideologically diffrent people is recipe for failure.
First of all, average job shouldn't raise deep ideological diffrences. If employer spends his time preaching Adam Smith,
Hitler or Jesus to employees, his not doing business but running a political or religous party.
Secondly, average worker can't anyway choose people he/she works with and certainly not customers.
If all companies and project would be just be run by mormons just because they share same values, it would be recipe for failure too(nothing against mormons btw.).
I think its easier to get 10 persons to do things because they have the skills, than finding 10 people who have the skill and also agree with you ideologically. I know employers in real who try latter one, and I can only feel sorry for them. They certainly don't have too many options.
So based on above, what's the sense limiting employee's opinions? What's the beef?
Companies don't need freedom of speech, but inviduals do.
