The "workings of the people, and corporations" do not part ways at the bottom line. Forty years with Humble, Imperial and Exxon. No problems in supporting politicians I favored. The company bottom line contributed to my bottom line.
We agreed with and supported most of the views expressed by the boards and CEOs. Otherwise we would not have joined them as employees or stayed with them for our productive lives. Periodic meetings were held between CEOs, boards and employees. The union members in the production and service arm determined holidays and many of the rules for both professional and union members. Ample opportunity for advancement; both professional and administrative ladders which could be crossed.
Digression- I vividly remember the Trudeau years in Canada. His administration provided money for research, and for exploration in the Arctic and East Coast offshore, and unconventional sources such as oilsands and oil shales that led to later developments that are benefitting Canada now. Energy companies were bitterly divided over Trudeau's program; those without research arms received no money for that purpose; only the majors had the cadres of trained professional scientists that could do the research into methods or expand into exploratory areas. Petro-Canada, the government company he initiated, was able to provide the 15% or so of exploration money needed before the petroleum company economists and accountants would agree to the risks of wildcat exploration of unknown areas. I remember those years as ones of cooperation; many personnel interchanges to share data occurred between Petro-Canada and major energy companies.
The smaller, local companies, "independants," however, did not benefit, and they continue to denigrate Trudeau to this day.
The combined joint exploration efforts of the government company and the major energy companies led to discoveries and technical developments that contribute to Canadian well-being today.
And I am quite happy with the "bottom line" that both the corporation and I achieved while working for them.
