I'd be happy to be called 'they' if this was a deliberate strategy of malicious compliance by the co-workers, which I think it might be.

Definitely feels like it, and I fully support it. These attention whores decided to make 3rd person pronouns a hill to die on, and try to force the rest of us to play their neverending game of "constantly think about pronouns" instead of just using the basic rules we learned from birth, so congratulations on these execs for finding the perfect malicious compliance way around it. This one freak wants to be a special snowflake and demand irregular pronouns, then everyone gets the neutral one from now on.

And of course they tell on themselves that once again it's always about "validation" a.k.a. their extreme narcissism. I've maintained for years that the only people who could possibly give a shit what 3rd person pronouns someone uses for them are narcissists, and every time they get uppity like this, it confirms it further.
