Only in paragraph 12 (out of 16 total) does the article finally get around to describing what exactly prompted this:
Mr. Eddings and other former Gimlet employees said that Mr. Vogt and Ms. Pinnamaneni vigorously opposed efforts to unionize, which employees of color saw as the only way to create an environment where they could succeed, and that the pair were dismissive of efforts to diversify the staff. In one instance, according to Mr. Eddings, Mr. Vogt sent disparaging text messages to a Gimlet employee who was involved in the unionization effort that left the employee in tears.
"Exactly" used loosely, as the authors decided against providing their readers with any more detail, letting their imaginations fill in what "vigorously" and "disparaging" entailed.
