I was a Democrat when I started writing about the pandemic. I genuinely wanted to serve as a bridge to help conservatives trust public health. The insane, evil response by professionals within my institution toward me persuaded me institutionalized leftism needs to be demolished.
Sure, there's concept creep, hard cases, sloganeering, etc., but I think that, at its core, the concept is reasonably clear: it's an attempt to use the methods of public shaming to turn the target into a social pariah (not just to make them unemployed but unemployable), and in response to a statement that the listener finds offensive. So your case, I think, isn't a paradigm case of cancellation. Neither is the holocaust denial case you describe, but it would be if you used your mighty perch to make your former employee persona non grata.
