Employee using pronouns. Help!

Are you telling me that you would think it reasonable for an atheist to be offended simply by a believer stating that they subscribed to a particular faith?
I’m fairly certain a Christian would be offended if I put in my email signature that I worship Satan. And if I wrote in my email signature that I’m a devotee of the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster I’m sure some people would read that and think I was nuts. Equally if my signature proclaimed that I voted Leave it would alienate some Remain voters. The best thing is to leave religion, belief and politics out of the workplace and certainly out of your email signature.

Who cares what people call you when you’re not there?

I'd have thought more for situations like this

Person 1 - "I got an email off Chris the other day, he said.....

Person 2 - "Chris is female"

Person 1 - "Ah"

On what basis are all those saying "it will reflect badly on your company if people do this?"
No it won't , unless you assume that everyone thinks the same as you.

Because it's not a neutral statement, it's an unnecessary ideological addition that adds nothing and could potentially alienate clients.

I would however assume anyone doing this in a business e-mail is a virtue signalling prat and I would take my business elsewhere.

No it won't , unless you assume that everyone thinks the same as you

And that goes the other way too

Yes, that's what I said!
I said it should be personal choice to put them in or not, and can appreciate some people don't want to which is fair enough.
What others choose to do is surely up to them though.
Saying they can't include them because you don't want them to or agree is exactly the same attitude as anyone saying you have to include your pronouns.

No it won't , unless you assume that everyone thinks the same as you

That is precisely why it’s a bad idea to put statements of belief in work auto signatures. People don’t all think the same.

Calling out being she/her disadvantages women and transwomen in the workplace. I would suggest he says he doesn't want to risk that as he cares about equality

Praise the Lord' is an exhortation - I can see why that might offend a non-believer, for example.

Adding 'she/her' after your name is a statement

Surely it's also an exhortation for the reader to use those pronouns when referring to that person? Otherwise what's the point?

Who cares what people call you when you’re not there?

No it won't , unless you assume that everyone thinks the same as you

And that goes the other way too. Assuming that everyone embraces gender ideology. The big push back would indicate they don't. Making a political statement, and that is what it is, is not a good idea for companies who want to sell.

No it won't , unless you assume that everyone thinks the same as you.
I can understand why people might not want to put them in their signature themselves, as it's personal choice, isn't it.
Somebody else doing it has absolutely no bearing on you though.
Insisting your boss says she can't do it is surely as bad as the other way round everybody moans about, like you shouldn't be forced to put them in if you don't want to?
Complete double standards and a bit hypocritical to say this Any experience of this, or any insight into how he can politely request that she drop the pronouns

From what he said, she doesn't sound like a massive raging handmaiden.
I'd biscuit but know thats frowned upon nowadays.

There are plenty of people who'd respond positively to pronouns in an email

And equally, there are plenty of people who don’t respond positively to them - esp if they are used in a professional capacity.

There are plenty of people who would respond positively to ‘take back control’. It still isn’t appropriate for work email.

That's nice. It's good you all identify yourselves ☺️

There are plenty of people who'd respond positively to pronouns in an email, and, I suspect, an even larger raft of people who DGAF either way.

Adding 'she/her' after your name is a statement

Yes, a statement of belief in gender boxes and innate gender identity.

It’s quite possible to put ‘praise the Lord’ on an auto signature without wanting other people to convert.

However, it still wouldn’t be appropriate on a work email signature, unless working for a campaigning organisation.

Neither would ‘take back control’ or

Do people have the right to express political views at work? Most places I've worked have a 'no religion or politics' type rule.
My understanding is we have the right to hold opinions, to express them outside of work, and as a general rule that shouldn't affect our job.

Kane would probably have he / him pronouns

*Jane even 😂

If it's a HR-related email about her absence, it will go on her file, which she'd be entitled under GDPR to access at any time. Where I work, a colleague's absence file is freely available to that colleague without any formal request being necessary

Did you just misgender non binary Jane 😲 I though Kane had they / them pronouns 🤨

My company even dictates what font etc you must use and the standard email signature cannot be changed , ang change would lead to a disciplinary. Including personal unnecessary information is also not allowed in accordance with company policies, as GDPR dictates that personal information shared during our job is strictly necessary only. The company should not be allowing the sharing of gender identification on company email.

Adding 'she/her' after your name is a statement

A statement that is superfluous to requirements in a professional environment. The only additional information that may be required in a signature is a professional qualification.
