With the risk of sounding to defend this culture, sprinkled with a tiny bit of whataboutism: I also worked in a very PC cultured, all colors and genders and opinions and whatever welcome, very western, woke style company and a new joiner, who was allegedly unhappy with his job, disappeared without a trace from one day to the next. After many weeks me questioning, what happened, I got at least a "he is alive and reasonably well" answer. Not saying that this is common, but when it's about saving face, companies, regardless of their previously projected image, can turn to such autocratic style when it comes to communication. Basically what they radiate: "just stop asking and move on", your colleague is not of concern anymore.
