I'd guess the guy was non-compliant with institutional email policy, got spanked by HR, and decided to take the piss. But I'm sure the story will get promoted - with minimal context - by the 'anti-woke' crowd.
My workplace has automated signatures that also include graphics that talk about various rotating company statements and policies, green initiatives, blah blah blah. A lot of the vendors and customers I email also have logos or images embedded in their signatures, which don't seem like much until you realize that little tiny graphic is actually a 300kb file. Multiply by 20 people and it gets big fast.
Reminds me of the savings, calculated years back by somebody, of replacing every instance of 'Microsoft' with 'Moft'. Meanwhile, Bitcoin mining continues apace...
When I retired from the city we had an email signature generator on the intranet that we entered all our personal and contact info and it created a sig with the logo link to the city website, disclaimer, and whatever else they wanted everyone's sig to look like, in both mobile and desktop versions. They changed it up now and then for special events and the like.

I was implementing the email system. Management said they wanted some of this crap on every outgoing mail. I said, it is of no legal value whatsoever. They said I was probably right but... put it anyway.
