I hired a UX/UI designer who had her pronouns on linkedin. The boss and I discussed it before she started. He said, "We will call her whatever we want to. If she doesn't come out and explicitly say what she wants to be called, then we aren't worrying about it." She came into the office, read the room, and it's been a non issue. She's been great assett.

Here's hoping you didn't miss out on an opportunity to hire someone truly great.
You would think you'd at least look at the resume to see if the person is qualified for an interview before throwing it away because you're scared of a word.



We aren't afraid of a word. We are afraid of hiring incompetent cancerous people into our close workforce.

That has a higher chance of happening when you hire people with pronouns in their resumes/cover letters.

I am so sorry this upsets you but understand that your opinion means nothing to me.

Have a great day.


I have worked in the private sector for 30 years and now I am in govt the gateway to pronoun people.

Pronoun people are soft, get offended at every opportunity, have low stress thresholds, take everything too personal, use stress as a reason to stay home, They have no ability to take constructive criticism, typically will not own their mistakes, have zero awareness of taking time off affects work. The one thing that personally just makes my head explode is they will typically share emails from others to complain to others in their clicks, they will turn on workmates and bully them all in the while participate in every anti bullying program our agency has to offer.

The absolute worst thing……is it is simply not needed. It is the first flag in a series of red flags that these individuals are trained little passive-aggressive monkeys that will end up being more of a pain in the arse then they are worth.

I would not hire one……just give me someone whose head is screwed on straight, will not fold under pressure, who doesn't feel entitled and respect the process and authority.

So those managers that have pronouns in their email signature...are they going to keep them there once this woke gender BS passes?

It seems like a fad that will be replaced by something else.

Y'all need to watch out for the ninja pronoun users. They don't put their pronouns in their resume or mention them in the interview, but then they start using them on the first day on the job. We had one of those recently. I try to avoid them as much as possible while hoping they leave or get fired for performance issues.
If you are the boss tell them to knock it off or they are going to be addressed by a number. Or position title like in some sci-fi.

It's amazing to me that our society has become so soft that this is even a discussion - on both sides. Almost As if we're making up things to be offended by because there's too much free time.

Wait until the **** hits the fan, which it ultimately will, and all this stuff will be moot IMO.

You hit the nail on the head with looking to be offended. It's become the national past time for social conservatives and liberals.

Pronoun loving people should be aware that their fixation with them is very similar to wearing a useless mask. It acts as a pre interview IQ screening which dooms you with many employers and coworkers.

Calling out blatant stupidity and grownups playing make believe =/= offended.

The left opened this can of rattle snakes all by themselves.

" the personal is political" was not a complaint it was a declaration.

They can't legitimately be surprised when there is a reactionary response.
