...came out for Pride month a few years ago during an all company meeting. Noticed one co-worker who did not clap...she left shortly after.

It's also recently announced its support for BLM and held conferences online with the company Black Alliance (they support inclusion networks).

No one has ever gone full bat shit crazy to embarrass the company, that kind of thing makes you unemployable. Instead, they leave quietly.
