My employment made us put pronouns in our signature for all emails. | |
Shadowlander User ID: 77968607 United States 11/23/2022 02:14 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Yes, most of the folks where I work do it. Right there in the signature line of their e-mail...pronouns. I don't. A few others I know don't. We keep our signature lines very clean. Just the basics. So far, it's still 'voluntary'. I imagine that will change. I'm in Illinois, so the leadership of the state has cranial-rectal inversion and they go full r-tard at every opportunity. A few of us are patiently waiting for in-person classes to be cancelled again for...science??? |

Can you find out who they are so that you can return it to them?'. Many people have names that could be feminine or masculine so to play it safe, it's best to just use they/them when you don't know someone's pronouns. |

Most did, a few of us didn’t, but no one ever made an issue of it. I’m glad to have found a similar position in a privately held company. A lot less of that nonsense and a lot more focus on deliverables over diversity. |
