I think a lot of people run for a school board spot with visions of grandeur that it's the first step towards bigger and bigger political office. Next county commissioner/city council, and on and on. It's not about the kids, it's about their inflated ego.

I saw this on a few emails and cards for potential vendors. They are blocked now.

I see it fairly often in the signature line of emails at work.

I 100% agree with you.

I still just go by Stud.

I have heard companies won’t hire folks who put them on their resume

When I hear that bs if it’s not in a joke I’m out of there ASAP. If I’m in a professional environment where I have to act grown up I will, other than that my gaze drops to my feet and shake my head walking away wondering what kind of F’ed up world my kids have to grow up in, it’s a damn shame.

You're either a boy or a girl. That is determined at birth.

Always sir or ma'am.

I have not met a person yet that wishes to be called anything other than who they are. And that includes a decade of high school tennis players. I will mention that the 15 year old kid across the road says that there are some kids at school that want to be called this and that.

Sooner or later I suppose I will run into a non-person with a weird ‘name’. I actually look forward to it.

I do not participate in other people's mental illnesses.

It's unmissable in a lot of big corporations, mine included. I just do the last part of SSS

I dunno 'bout that. She has bought into the Dem BS pretty much lock, stock, and barrel. One bright note though was yesterday she was complaining big time to her "Mom" about how expensive stuff is etc. So what do I do? I reminded all of them, on the family group text, that elections have consequences, and you get what you vote for. So far no response on that.

Yes, I am an A'hole and do not hesitate to rub salt in wounds. She was taught way better, but went along with the herd.

I may go with Master or maybe even God. Those are surely going to piss off wokesters.

Yep, me too. The only time its useful is when you have someone with a completely foreign name like Wahkishka Mukundeem.

Remember the SNL Pat skits?

Greatness. Back when SNL was actually funny. Couldn't get away with that now days.

Place I work has started promoting this on email signature's. Ignored it so far. Actually really don't care what folks call me as long as they call me to dinner!

It may only go on a few more years. Congrats on your daughter's education.

A small group of people and the upper management in HR at my company are eaten up with this stuff. I've been on a couple of conference calls where they start their introduction with it. I usually tune them out as soon as they say it. If you work for a company that does it, just wait till you have to take your yearly diversity training. Imagine the dumbest sexual harassment video you have ever seen and then multiple that by 10.

Surely, you’re not paying for that.

Same. I also can’t imagine working anywhere that expected me to.

NO! Thank goodness.

I have never encountered this crap in real life. Just seen it on TV and the internet. I would refuse to work with such idiots. My values are worth more than any company can pay me. There are a thousand other places to work, we have a ton of options here if you are a valuable employee. We don't live in Somalia.

I figured.

There’s always hope, amigo. A lot of people come to their senses, eventually, if they have half a brain in their head.

If we are talking about pronouns like Mr. then I definitely will use them in English and the equivalent in other languages in professional communications with customers. There's also professional titles like Doctor and Engineer that are important.

I run into this more internationally.

This has been around a really long time. It's about showing respect and not anything related to wokeness.

What do you think?
