A Company Leadership that promotes inclusivity and diversity on their website while enforcing a culture that:
• Shuts down honest conversations on the Company's tokenizing and marginalization of BIPOC and LGBTQ employees, and
• Refuses to honor the emotional and family needs of their employees by enforcing an inflexible, in-office-only policy and terminating employees who request a remote-work option.
As a member of an all-volunteer, 7 member Inclusion Tactical Team*, I shared with the group that "If a Black or Brown person were to ask me if they should join OnLogic, I would have to tell them 'No'."
This message was shared up to Company Leadership and their response was to have a Founder of the company say that they would sit next to me in office to make sure that I felt supported. In addition, upon my termination for refusing to work in office full-time, I was asked by this same Founder if I would partner with them in an uncompensated capacity to support the Company’s diversity and inclusion efforts.
This infantilization and suggested exploitation of my candid experience of OnLogic's failure to create a culture that supports Black and Brown team members is a revelation of the character of the Company.

*Note: 4 of the 7 members of the Inclusion Tactical Team exited the company within weeks of each other.
