If you work one of the most comfortable, remunerative jobs in the modern economy, in the middle of boom times for your highly competitive set of skills, you don't have to put up with your employer's PAC giving to the worst people in American politics in your name. Just saying.

What did Microsoft employees do that affects their donations to people like Elise Stefanik?
-
There was a two-year employee campaign to defund the PAC that culminated this June in the company deciding to suspend political donations. The head of the PAC left the company after ill-advisedly warning employees that discussing defunding could be construed as harrassment

Not Apple?

Both Apple and IBM decline to have a political action committee. They do just fine without it

This seems to be a misunderstanding? NetPAC is a group run by Google execs (not the company?) that they try to get employees to donate to, but the discourse internally is often "Fuck NetPAC, don't help execs". Google does donate directly to a number of GOP politicians though

Ok, I looked up the record and it looks like the company did officially form it in 2006. So even though it's a shitty playground for execs, it does have official status. There is often protest / dissent internally when it's mentioned at least.
