That is the dumbest answer I've ever heard. It is not 'smart' to control your employees' personal opinions.
Doesn't sound dumb at all to me IF your company is involved at all with government contracts. Do think it needs to be reciprocated, as plenty of companies have tried to get around donation limits by ascribing them to individual employees, plus I'd like to know what my company is using the dollars earned off my labor to support. Can also think of instances where the donations of higher-ranking employees to causes contrary to the interests of the company might cause a media backlash.
If not involved is possible contracts or conflict of interest, then, yeah, you should ask why they want to know.
case in point in the news right now. Publix was giving a ton of money to a guy running for office who was Ag secretary or something like that. He had a good bit of say into how grocery stores are inspected. As a consumer, that's something I'd like to know about,.
