The issue of "self-censorship" is I think, rather beside the point. The
current goal in organizations with their employees is to achieve
"alignment"...what that means is that somehow there is a fit/consistency
between the "values/outlook/worldview" of the employee and that of the
organization.
Assuming that such consistency is achieved (through effective selection
processes, often including psychological evaluation, for example), then no
censorship, self or otherwise is required...

The scum is in ourselves, not in our stars, methinks. It would be much
easier to "do something" about the injustice in the world than most of us
admit, either to ourselves or to others. It seems to me that the
self-censorship I encounter in people at the middle levels is far in
excess of what people need for their personal and career survival. I can
only understand it as a defense against getting so committed that they
would then overstep the actual taboos. And I'm talking about
self-censorship from people who are self-identified as political
progressives.
