It is active, as shown in the previous screenshot I shared and this one. Unless there is another place I need to "activate" it.

Can you please try to use the following code and check if that help you to resolve your issue:

add_filter( 'wpv_filter_query', 'exclude_term_by_slug_on_initial_load', 10, 3 );
function exclude_term_by_slug_on_initial_load( $query_args, $view_settings, $view_id ) {
     
    $taxonomy_slug  = 'employee-type'; // Replace with your taxonomy (e.g. 'category')
    $exclude_term_slug = 'emeritus'; // The slug of the term to exclude
  
    if ( $view_id == 21529) {
          
            $query_args['tax_query'][] = array(
                'taxonomy' => $taxonomy_slug,
                'field'    => 'slug', // use slug here
                'terms'    => array( $exclude_term_slug ),
                'operator' => 'NOT IN',
            );
      
    }
  
    return $query_args;
}
