Communist protip: if you’re unsure of someone’s pronouns, refer to them as comrade.
Rising Star
It doesn't matter if THEY are a communist, only that you are.
😂😂😂 but you used pronouns
Tell them you don’t like HR as a function

I actually love this as a word option, but I can also imagine a world where you were doing this in a mocking way. If so, that’s why you’re in trouble.

If this is a genuine faux pas then whatevs. However, if you meant it as snarky malicious compliance then you got what you deserved.

Well said comrade. Your social credit score has increased.

indignant and mocking never goes over well with HR

Why not
They’re just mad because they didn’t come up with it. A case of getting out-woked.
Here ya go
Too much time and energy spent on pronouns by both sides IMHO…. If someone wants to be referred to in a specific way, what’s the big deal? I would just do it as it does not cost me anything and makes the next person happy. However, I also don’t like the draconian way on the other side where it feels like this “has” to be part of every conversation and if you don’t know the latest in an ever evolving and expanding world of pronouns you may lose your job livelihood etc.

Did you upset one gentlethem or many? 🤔

Exactly, glad someone got the reference
A company party is a good place to act like a normal person. If you want to be weird and make up words to insult people, doing it on you own time would be better
