Bank suffers exodus of customers after social media manager told them to LEAVE if they don't like staff sharing pronouns on badges
Halifax is losing customers after social media team told them to leave if they don't like pronouns on badges
Bank posted a badge of employee called Gemma which read 'she/her/hers' and added: 'Pronouns matter'
Customers replied to accuse the bank of 'pathetic virtue signalling' and 'alienating' many customers
Within minutes Andy M, a member of the social media team, said 'You're welcome to close your account'
Halifax customers are closing their accounts en masse today after its social media team told them to leave if they don't like their new pronoun badges for staff in what is being branded one of the biggest PR disasters in British business history.
One account holder told MailOnline they have already pulled out investments and savings worth £450,000 while many more said they are closing ISAs, cutting up credit cards or transferring balances to rivals after they accused the bank of 'alienating' them with 'pathetic virtue signalling'.
The row began this week when Halifax, which was propped up by the taxpayer to the tune of £30billion as part of a 2008 bailout, tweeted its 118,000 followers on Tuesday revealing that it would allow staff to display their pronouns on their name badges, in a post that read 'pronouns matter'.

Is Andy M. now un-him-ployed?
It’s bad form to let customers know they can’t trust you with their money.
More likely pro(noun)moted.
It’s Gibberish
Today I saw two Walmart employees wearing the badges. One was an ordinary looking female, but her pronouns were “they/them”. I just ignored it and will speak as I speak. The only pronoun I has to use to get my daughter some earbuds was “you”, as in “Could you open that case?” and “Thank you” anyway.
Ha!...Ha!
Halifax really bombed out 🤪
Halifax is a British bank operating as a trading division of Bank of Scotland, itself a wholly owned subsidiary of Lloyds Banking Group.
USA banks should pay attention but they probably won’t, especially the woke CEO’s of Bank Of America and Welles Fargo.
My pronoun is “massah”.
Anyone who fails to use it is guilty of micro-aggressions against me.
;-)
The finance industry is hopelessly woke. Look at where they all are.. NYC and Delaware.
Stupid matters, too.
Bite the dust, Halifax.
Refuse to do business with the woke.
Some people still harbor that memory.
I love it! It is well past time to destroy woke companies and put their woke employees out of work.
I wonder what Helen Keller would think of her organization in 2022. disgusting.
Wonder how many FReepers will get that without Google?
Keller was one of the founders of woke. She’d be just fine with it.
Go woke, you’re a joke, so go broke. Idiots.
