Is it hypocritical to have a Che poster in your cubicle for a Fortune500 company

This describes one of my co-workers. His backgrounds on his computer he has set to alternate, and they vary between women in bikinis or communist insignia.

It's hypocritical to have Che anything.  The last thing he'd want is the commercialization of his image and ignorance of his message in favor of following him because it's trendy.

It does make it a lot easier to spot douchebags.

This guy isn't a douchebag. He's awesome and very helpful to fellow employees. Spotting douchebags is easy though, just look for any shirt with Greek letters on it.

Its fine, though he should strive at every opportunity to sabotage the company.  If he isn't putting his money where his mouth is, he's something of a sad figure.

The problem is that sabotage of the company would come at the benefit of people who are dumbs, and dumbs who are quite rude to us. That leaves us inclined to defend the company. It's psychological.

At least Apple donated money against Prop 8 though.

Best idea.  Keep politics out of workplaces.

Too overwhelmingly liberal at mine to matter. Several Obama posters, including one from the guy in question.

Who now?  I mean who benefits if the company is sabotaged?  I don't really see much direct benefit for anyone, its just a chance to try to get a bit of revenge against those who are enslaving you.

Here's an example: I once got a call from some guy screaming and swearing at me like he did to the previous rep who escalated the call. He had shattered the screen on his iPhone and was told the cost to replace it. He refused to pay it. His argument was that he wasn't informed when he purchased the phone that the screen could shatter if dropped. It's tough to have sympathy for anyone THAT stupid, especially if said dumb is swearing his head off at you and just making your job a stressful mess. We all hate dumbass customers for that reason. I could've given him a replacement for free, at the expense of Apple and to his benefit. But I didn't. This guy wasn't making things pleasant for me, nor did he deserve anything for being an idiot, so why?

If customers are legitimately wronged or are polite, I'll help them out at the company's expense. But I'm never going to reward someone for being a rude, obnoxious asshole and making things more difficult for me.

Everyone should take that as advice when calling customer service or tech support by the way. You will NOT get anything special by being a giant jackass and showing "how angry you are". (Also threatening a lawsuit will never ever help you in any way. Ever. Nor will it scare the person on the other end who has heard it a thousand times. And if you actually have a legitimate claim to one, you should be talking to a lawyer, not someone in a call center.)
