I work in a corporate environment and my company’s mission statement supersedes my personal beliefs. It is apolitical. Basically inarguable. I have a hard time believing that a 593 to 1 is in congruence with a mission statement that...impartiality isn’t happening. And it doesn’t help when somebody says I’m going to sue to protect this instead of trying to bargain some.
These are individuals, though. Their beliefs can be whatever, the job they do is not something that this can cross over into. The bureaucracy is (read: should be, which is how professional bureaucrats take it) non-partisan. Our job is to implement policies put in place by policymakers (elected officials). Our goals are to implement these policies in an effective, efficient, and equitable manner.That's what we do on the job. Now, how we donate and vote will give away how our feelings on the policies themselves, but our implementation of them is not partisan in this way and so the integrity of the mission of the agency is in tact in this regard.
