It’s becoming an increasing trend to add a “pronoun” to you email sig. I first noticed it with an HR rep...not a shocking discovery. Then I started seeing it with those in high level technical roles.
The most recent comes from someone who had a known promotion(yes, there are “unknown” promotions, 4am ballot drop kind). This person got a promotion and the pronoun followed.
It appears the “leadership” is pushing this crap.
I've seen a few of the hr folks at my company putting pronoun shit in email sigs. It's the dumbest shit I've ever seen.....it's all to appease this transvestite bullshit they keep pushing. If you look like a man I'll address you as one, if you look like a woman, same. If you are clearly a man pretending to dress like a woman, I'll call you a man and not give a fuck. I don't play these stupid games.
