The answer to all of those questions needs to be "yes". Anything short of that 
means the CoC is powerless and just for show.

Whether there's a termination of employment or not is out of scope, since the 
CoC does not rule TQtC employment and what other work there is inside that 
company.

Note also it applies to any company. If you're not welcome anymore in the 
community where your employer is asking you to do work, that is going to 
affect your employment.
