Quoting: Anonymous Coward 81630551 Good luck communicating with that. “I is late again. I and me are going to have a talk, and I am going to tell me the next time I is late, I am going to have fire me.” Laughed out loud reading this. I think those of you all stating to use I/me are giving the best malicious compliance advice. If they take offense, just *politely* play dumb and keep “playing by the rules” I really doubt they can do much (legally) about it. Lol Dance in the face of tyranny and don’t say a word. Nobody is listening. ~Irbancowgirl~ |

User ID: 84483372 United States 11/23/2022 03:08 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | people who are cis gender (identifies as the same biological sex) get misgendered all the time. saying they/them is the safest way to wright a work email since they/them is a singular pronoun as well. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 84599932 for example: 'someone left their wallet at the office. 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. wright? No dictionaries in China? |

I am the only person there over the age of 35. I am past retirement and don't give a crap if the company goes under catering to this shit. We work with escalated clients. I am the only one left on the team that can do that for a day without taking the rest of the day off for stress leave. They are pushing for two paid wellness days off per month.

Tell him or her to take notice of all the people forced out of their jobs due to the jab and how they are all being sued, losing said suits and being forced to hire back all let go and also being forced to compensate with back pay. Then go on to say that he or she will be pursued personally by you for a host of reasons and that they will personally as well. Then tell them your pronouns are Fuck and You. |

Me over 65 listening to a bunch of entitled 20 something year olds whining about how hard done by they are. I went to two and stopped going because it's so fucking depressing. They are so tolerant and inclusive that they call me gramps behind my back. Fuck them all and fuck the company that puts this shit above profits, efficiency and good business practices. Quoting: KeepingItReal That sounds horrid being forced to talk about personal problems with co-workers. You are hired to do a job not spill your guts.

They are paying you to work and they get to say how they want the job done. Buckle down and do your job and quit being a fucking Karen about it Quoting: Anonymous Coward 84806141 I didn't know forcing someone to say ideological beliefs they don't believe in was part of any job description other than for being pastor or imam. So if your boss is Muslim at say a phone company, he can force you to say "InshAllah God wills" in every corporate email signature you would be cool with forcing people of different faiths and no faith at all to spout Muslim stuff?! |

What happened to leaving your life outside the door and just doing the job you were hired to do? All this inclusivity at my work place makes me feel ostracized, judged and out of touch with the modern world. And if I say so, it gets me time off work to be schooled on inclusivity and tolerance. Fuck them all. Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak. |

User ID: 83861127 Canada 11/23/2022 04:04 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | My workplace also. I told my manager that how I feel about my genitals is nobody's business but my own. They want to send me to inclusivity and tolerance training because putting pronouns in our signature shows support for the queer community supposedly, but fuck them. I have my resignation email ready to go, just waiting for a bank deposit to be made and some dental work I need this week and I am out of there. I am too old for this shit. Quoting: KeepingItReal They are essentially forcing Muslims, Christians and others to show support for something that goes against their religious beliefs. How is this not discrimination against people of faith. What next wear a Biden or Trudeau baseball cap and show your fake support for a political candidate your boss likes. Maybe he will stand over you and dictate who you should vote for next election in order to keep your job. This is where this shit is headed. |
