Using QuerySet exclude()

# models.py

from django.db import models

class Employee(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=120)
    department = models.CharField(max_length=50)
    is_active = models.BooleanField(default=True)

    def __str__(self):
        return self.name
  

# views.py

from django.shortcuts import render
from .models import Employee

def employee_list(request):
    qs = Employee.objects.exclude(is_active=False)
    return render(request, 'employees.html', {'employees': qs})
  

# Django Shell

>>> from company.models import Employee
>>> Employee.objects.create(name='Alice', department='HR', is_active=True)
>>> Employee.objects.create(name='Bob', department='IT', is_active=False)
>>> Employee.objects.exclude(is_active=False)
<QuerySet [<Employee: Alice>]>
>>> Employee.objects.exclude(department='HR')
<QuerySet [<Employee: Bob>]>
