Can't you just say that being forced to state your own pronouns is a form of gender discrimination and threaten to sue?

Go with I/me.

Good luck communicating with that.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 81630551


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.

BS. You need to go "Why are you forcing me to choose a gender? What if I'm not ready to reveal that yet?" And then run out of the room crying. And then contact a lawyer who contacts them.

Then they will be shitting themselves and will drop it.

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.

Nope, not worth it. Taking retirement in 5 weeks. I am apparently the only person left that doesn't think it's a good idea. 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.

Don't, ignore and then tell them you don't do stupid warped and perverted stuff like that and tell them you keep pushing this, and I will sue your fucking ass off.

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.

They also reprimanded me for not participating in team building outings which consist of everyone sharing their feelings and personal problems. 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.

That sounds horrid being forced to talk about personal problems with co-workers. You are hired to do a job not spill your guts. That's what therapists are for if you want and it is confidential unlike this nonsense you just described.

I swear that my team actually works a total of 20 hours a week, and the other 20 hours are spent on team building, inclusivity, stress reduction and other non work related activities. I prefer talking to angry clients and trying to fix their problem, I always make sure I am on a complicated call when these zoom meetings happen so I don't have to attend. They are going to get a big surprise when I leave and they realize just how much of the workload I have been quietly handling myself. There will be meltdowns. LOL

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?!

Re: My employment made us put pronouns in our signature for all emails.
Bottom line, there is no place for religion, politics and personal issues at the work place. 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.

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

Re: My employment made us put pronouns in our signature for all emails.
i went to a new doctor and she asked me what my pronouns are? i laughed out loud at how absurb that question is, especially when a doctor asks me.

so i thought about it, you could take the high road and say 'my pronouns are I and me" which is true actually.

or you could be snotty and say my prounouns are fee fi fo fum.

or you could pepper it with my pronouns are fuck you.

or you could say my pronouns are unpronounceable and therefore you cant say it.

or how about blibbedy bloobedy ha ha ho ho hee hee
