Re: My employment made us put pronouns in our signature for all emails.
I work at a University, and I've had a couple e-mails over the past few years telling us how we can add pronouns to our personnel profile, our e-mail signatures, etc.

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???

Why don’t you use “dude/brah”. Malicious compliance. They can’t say anything about your specific pronouns.

Re: My employment made us put pronouns in our signature for all emails.
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.

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.

I quit my corporate job at the mere mention of requiring the death jab, so it never got that far as to require putting pronouns in my email signature.

We were asked to put them in our signatures and they tried to normalize using them when introducing yourself during meetings. 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.

The company I worked for (smaller company owned by a HUGE company) didn't make it a requirement, but it started showing up in email signatures in approximately December 2019 / January 2020, right before the fake pandemic started.

And this was in fucking Texas.

TROLL THEM BACK BY SAYING YOU IDENTIFY AS ALL PRONOUNS AND THEY NEED TO BE LISTED IN FULL NO ABBREVIATIONS BEFORE THEY EVEN THINK OF SAYING YOUR NAME. LITERALLY EVERY WORD THAT HAS BEEN CREATED IS YOUR PRONOUN. SINCE IT WILL TAKE THEIR ENTIRE LIFE TO DO SO, YOU WIN.

As for a new nameplate with your pronouns and make sure they are at least 300 characters. That'll cost them money and they'll wake up from the nonsense. Or you can lol at their stupidity as it's engraved in writing.
