I'm with Amazon on this, seems a reasonable ask for employees to not wear any political/cultural/social things at work with their official uniform.
I agree, but then I started thinking "why the hell do I think it's so reasonable for a corporation to strip away the humanity of its employees" and I'm not sure where I've landed now.
It's not just a corporate thing, police, military, and fire brigade aren't allowed to wear overt political badging either.
There's a general rule that if you work for an organisation which asks you to wear a work related uniform of some kind, you don't get to add anything to it, political or otherwise. You don't see bobbies with a Pink Floyd sticker on their chest.
