lying of any type is always grounds for termination. "consistently candid" is just a more PC phrase for lying.

The details matter here. Consistently lying is grounds for termination. Not consistently being outspoken/blunt might not be. "Not being consistently candid" can be interpreted as either.
Candid means speaking your mind; truth. "Consistently candid" therefore means consistently telling the truth, perhaps even to a fault.
