And companies are run by humans, if I'm not completely mistaken. 
It's not the army that kills people, it's the humans in the army 
that kill other humans. Stoutly reasoned!

Who's talking about hatred? Being skeptical doesn't involve 
hatred. The thing is that the best engineers cannot put their 
ideas into practice, if the company rejects it for whatever 
reason (there are so many, partly highly ridiculous, reasons why 
good ideas have been rejected, one could write a book about it). 
And yes, if humans serve under a banner, you have the right to 
criticize them, because they accept the banner and what it stands 
for. The fact that we all have to serve somebody to put food on 
our tables, doesn't mean it is right.
