Pronoun Survey; HR purgatory

[David Simerly]

You could always pull a UN douche on them. Treat pronouns like Taiwan. Play to their playbook. There is no discussion because you refuse to acknowledge or understand it.

For the simple pronouns question, when asked I use we/us/all us, let them think I have multiple personalities.

For my signature block I was using Supreme Exalted Grand Poobah of Utilities, when I was asked to wear yet another hat. I put in on Linked-In not realizing how many would see it and question it. "Utilities" in my case, was literally the oversight of a 2-3 person team of college students who did campus moves, and heavy deliveries.

The new fun title had me getting sales calls from solar, and utilities providers

I told my staff you put your pronouns in an email you better be looking for a new paycheck somewhere else when that crap started

The 1st meet was to determine if an investigation is warranted, and yes they are moving onto 2nd phase @ this Wednesday's meet.

Scenario; I noticed about an 8 year old boy in a wheelchair being treated beyond unfairly (IMHO) by his guardian, boy appears to have a down syndrome-like condition.

So, I approached to professionally let said guardian know that we can SEE what he is doing with these children, there were 4 kids total, and dude went into sovereign citizen mode. It was in a very Public space, people started to come forward to also advocate for the boy in the wheelchair and the guardian got embarrassed/pissed, filed a complaint.

City reviewed the camera footage, perfect audio/video, and has alleged that I unnecessarily escalated, bullied, and harassed the guardian. No, I did not, but the surrounding people witnessing who stepped forward brought this dude into compliance pretty quickly. I used every aspect of our training with this guy, 100% in compliance, almost a textbook example on what to do. I'll advocate for that person/minor being mentally/verbally abused every day of the week. FYF, abusing a child in public because you've gotten so comfortable doing so? No, I won't be silent and watch.

No demand for my "preferred pronouns" yet, I filed an informational report with the DOJ's ADA division on behalf of the child's Civil Rights.

It is ridiculous nowadays when a person trying to help someone is turned into the transgressor. People wonder why others aren’t willing to help anymore. This is a prime example of that. You step up and next thing you know they are trying to crucify you. Plus they are even too pansy to just do it outright.

Feelings. It's about this dude's feelings being hurt, caught treating children like shit in public. No, I won't stand down because somebody in City Hall might object to an outcome.

These are very touchy, the victim's usually are targeted again later behind closed doors, guy refused to even verbally ID who he is by first name. I have a feeling he is a foster parent who has been reported before, knows City Council people already as friends.....Meh, these are all beautiful children.

Me; What'd I do right, wrong, what would you like done better?

Them: We need you to have an empathy overview for the Dad, similar to the Golden globe awards and the tourette syndrome thing....

Me and my Reps all went into a silent WTF mode.....Golden Globes? I LOVE me some Ricky Gervais!!! Onward....

Oh, PRONOUNS, a lovely topic.

@Milo'sSyndicate - sorry to hear this.

My HR team hit me up with this…..”Kevin, you are the CEO, you have to set an example, you need to state your pronouns”..…I used a VERB versus a PRONOUN and just said NO.

They protested, so I added an ADVERB and said FUCK NO.

The very thought that a pronoun will change the world, or make the world better, is INSANITY…INSANITY being a NOUN and not a PRONOUN.

If this persists, we are so fucked - fucked being an ADJECTIVE, a PREDICATE or PARTICIPIAL ADJECTIVE to be precise.

In my capacity I have done things that do change the world, one grain of sand on a huge beach at a time, or boulders, it’s indifferent in my opinion, actions make differences, not pronouns.

- We have five years of scholarships, based upon MERIT, for people of color - four years of funds to help pay to get an education as long as you continue to perform and get grades and eduction, never waivered - competitive as all hell to get the win, some of the young folks that apply are absolute glass chewers - I can point to the difference made

- We have wildly enhanced extended family leave, and changed pay and bonus tied to MERIT, an old school concept just like my leathery old and fat ass, so you have time to have a kid, and to build a family, and the money to do this if you work hard, and set up for success, and this supports family values for everybody in the company - I can point to the difference

- Hiring in different schools, but still looking for TALENT and SKILLS and not QUOTA, and in that time our actual diversity by gender and by color has shifted, but we didn’t lose the MERIT of said hires, we focused on finding great people in different places, and the diversity was a bi-product, not a goal, and we have grown headcount by 50%, so it helped us find talent to fuel the company - difference is clear

I can go on and on, these idiots with their rules and policies that are focused upon the absolute wrong things just drive me insane, they make me want to dig a lot of holes in the Mojave Desert and fill them with….things.

Amen @Godfather! @Milo'sSyndicate at some point you/we/me just need to stop "reacting"... Not because life gets easier, but because we get tired of wasting energy... We need to realize that not everything deserves our attention, that's not "giving up" that's "leveling up"...

The attached hat in the picture might also be a good idea for the good idea fairy at FE to add to their product line

The world has lost its fucking mind…
@Milo'sSyndicate - hope this passes quickly

I believe it will. There's a Civil Rights division case # now at the DOJ, their named in it.

When you see a guardian act as such, the collective relief in the childrens' eyes with an adult being present on their behalf, it's God's work. Drive on Brothers!

CONCLUSION: they have a LARGE pool of "citizen complaints" to pick from for these headhunting expeditions. There is a group of internal whistle blowers in these Reddit/Djschord/FB chat rooms, lobbing truth bombs at them so they are fishing for whistle blowers.

Admin throws a shit ton of paper at you, puts you in the box a couple of times, accuses you all kinds of shit, changes it up, good cop/bad cop all as bait. If you've been on the other side of this when hunting actual criminals, you know what this is.

I had settled on a tube of lipstick and I / Am / Charlie as my pronouns, but they never asked.

So, an insider view of interest, IMHO; This is a sanctuary city. They have ZERO regard for ANY laws, ideas, or principles in right vs. wrong. ZERO. They actually believe and live by the policy dictates from City Hall, which is written with a bear trap of gray areas for interpretation(s) to protect their operations. Even though the majority of the operations money is Federal tax dollars, they have ZERO respect for ANY rule of law(s). Make sense?

I was at my previous employer for 30 plus years manged a couple different departments and in the early 2000's they said you have to go to Headquarters (outside Of DC) for Sensitivity traning it is mandatory- I replied "I am already sensitive" All I heard was crickets
