As far as I’m concerned, there are three pronouns - “he”, “she”, and “the dumb-ass”.

Is he still in his office working? He should have been fired a week ago.

I presume they still have the old fashioned and polite option to put Mr or Mrs (or Ms) in front of their names. Especially useful if they have androgynous names like Pat or Chris or if they use initials.

YOU GOT THE FUNNY PART.

Microsoft screws around with Outlook often enough that just because you've done something for 10 years means you can do it the same way tomorrow.

And then the 365 version of programs don't work the same way as the stand alone versions.

Thank God. There’s nothing more annoying than this practice.

I wonder what would happen if we were fed employees and had “MAGA” in our signatures.

Come on! It’s a lot of fun signing off with ‘Shut/Up’ in your signature! ;)

Grateful for this. Every day Life in America just keeps getting better and better! MAGA!

I disagree with this. That pronoun nonsense was a good way to know who was woke and then act accordingly.

My pronouns are legion/legion, and no earthly power can cause me to give them up.

With the names that apply to both male and female, just use Mr./Mrs./Miss like the old days. (Hm - will Trump ban Ms?)

I knew a gal back in Engineering School who’s name was Chris. She loved it. When she would send out resumes she wouldn’t mention anything about being female as women were still looked at lesser than males.

The good part of this is that the people who wasted their time putting these in their email signatures are the only ones who now have to waste their time removing them and be reminded how stupid they are. Most people with common sense never fell for this BS in the first place..
