Never seeing pronouns in an auto signature is wild to me. my brother worked at Discover for a long time and they started their meetings with Name, Pronouns and a description of themselves for those that were visually impaired which was a new one for me “Hi, I’m Simon Templar, he/him, I’m a Caucasian man with short hair, and I’m wearing a black sweatshirt”
I can only imagine the uproar from some of the clowns I work with if they had to do even the name/pronoun thing before a meeting.
Pronouns are the default in our full email signatures since last year. Name, title, office location, direct dial, main dial, company logo and pronouns.
I’ve never encountered anyone who has an issue with someone using their pronouns. Someone using it as part of their email signature seems so inconsequential that idk why it would bother you.
Must be nice to never even encounter assholes/bigots/rednecks/rwnj's. You must lead a very sheltered life.
Took 8 months off from playing basketball, then played 3 times in a week. Now, two days later, I can barely walk.
I can’t seem to find it now, but in 2020, someone did a spoof of older people following conspiracies on Facebook called Stacy’s Mom Follows QAnon. Seemed appropriate.
i do live in a small bubble. I just have been lucky enough to never run across someone like that in real life. Maybe I know someone that it bothers but every one I know in real life knows how I am and probably wouldn’t tell me if they felt that way.
I had a real bad sciatica flare up in early March that I thought I was finally on the other side of after 2 months of physical therapy. Well that was until around 4am this morning when I apparently rolled in bed the wrong way. Now I'm in immense pain again.
Yeah never encountering someone bitching about pronouns is wild. Now to be fair I live in Alabama and work in a more rural area so it’s ubiquitous. We had to take a morale survey recently and it gave like 5 gender options and people were in an uproar.
this could’ve been an email and WAS (too lazy to change the font do a different color but this one actually makes me chuckle when I see it)
Im noticing it more often in professional emails in the engineering world, but it’s still not that common. It has been useful a time or two with someone who had a gender neutral name. I’d 10000x prefer a simple pronoun clarification than the fucking ten lines of corp marketing and embedded images.
We have had pronouns in our signatures for years and I’ve never thought about people getting mad about it. We operate and have offices worldwide so it really helps to know who you are speaking to when the other person is not Jim, Sue, or some other Anglo-Saxon name.
Yesterday I was explaining to a 23 year old employee about life before cell phones. The idea of going to a phone on the wall, looking up a number on the paper your mom had hanging on the wall, and calling to ask to speak to someone blew his mind.
I've read old posters on home board talk about calling a 900 number back in the day for recruiting news. That sounds so sad but I'm not sure what I did was any better
After I moved out west in the late 80's, my Domer pops would cut all the Mich recruiting stories out of the Detroit papers on natl signing day and mail them to me.
