Cancel culture came up in the offoce today. It's a way to hold people accountable, but it sometimes stifles open dialogue. I am guilty of it, as I do change suppliers if they won't compromise on their prices. I do however, have a talk with them first and explain or see if we can come to an arrangement before I cancel my order. What are your thoughts?

What you described about suppliers doesn’t sound like “cancel culture” at all…

....this isn't cancel culture. This is price shopping, which is best practice whenever you're looking to make a purchase. This is cancel culture: "Cancel culture is a cultural phenomenon in which an individual thought to have acted or spoken in an unacceptable manner is ostracized, boycotted, shunned or fired, often aided by social media."

How are you defining cancel culture?

Is this serious? Cancel culture is something wholly other than what you're describing about prices. They both use the word cancel, but in totally different contexts. Cancel culture would be choosing not to do business with someone because you knew they were sexist, or they expressed abhorrent attitudes.

what was the conversation regarding cancel culture?

If you take time to communicate, give room for adjustment, and still face resistance, walking away is not “cancel culture” — it is just responsible decision-making.

That’s negotiation in a capitalist market system, not cancel culture 😂
