Remember two things:
1. Your workplace, including the parking lot, is private property and the owner of said property makes the rules. Keep in mind that if you draw to defend someone else's property it is not the same as defending your own property, at least not in all 50 states, and the employee handbooks are written back in the home office. I worked for a chain that had their headquarters in Texas but their roots are in California and the company that owns the chain is headquartered in France, so the carry rules that apply to all locations are rules that protect the company in the most restricted locations.
2. If you are carrying, and fire your weapon at work, your employer is liable for any collateral damage, e.g. bystanders shot, property damage, etc. and like it or not, not all gun owners are responsible individuals. Most companies prefer to hire outside security for that reason, all armed personnel trained to a specific standard and the armed security firms carry their own liability insurance.
Short answer then is their house, their rules, don't like your job move on, in this economy there will be a hundred guys in line the next day for your former paycheck.
