Update: the meeting was this morning 7am sharp Walked in My boss, HR, and legal were already seated I sat down Opened my legal pad HR said "we need to talk about your email signature" I said "which part" She said "the adjectives" I said "smart and handsome?" She said "yes" I said "those are identified. By me. Per the policy." She said "the policy was intended for pronouns" I said "then the policy should say pronouns" Legal nodded HR did not appreciate the nod My boss said "can you just add your pronouns and keep the adjectives" I said "fine. XY." He said "those are chromosomes" I said "and they've never been wrong" The room was very quiet after that Legal closed his folder My boss said "let's move on" I said "I'm not unreasonable. I'm just saying the quiet part out loud." Meeting adjourned in 11 minutes Walked back to my desk The analyst saw my signature Asked if he could add adjectives too I said "you have to earn them" By noon four people in finance had added identified adjectives to their signatures The controller added "Identified Adjective: Tired" HR has scheduled a department-wide meeting for Wednesday I was not invited Neither was legal I think we're on the same side now Sent from my iPhone
