This is a venture backed enterprise software company. Cancelling was never so straightforward as being fired. It was social ostracism and the soft understanding that no promotions were going to come their way, because the whole HR team was against it and their managers were never going to spend the social capital to fight that fight. Their offense was objecting to a specific point being made in “implicit bias training”. I was high enough in the org chart that I was privy to these conversations.
