I'm seeing a lot of sign ups listing pronouns, which initially struck me as very cool, but now I'm wondering if I should just lie rather than out myself as non-binary and say my pronouns are they...

Anyone have any advice or knowledge?

cis gay man here, so take my advice for what it’s worth (not much), but I think that’s a choice only you can make. In theory a place that asks for your pronouns should have a culture that’s accepting. If you feel it’ll negatively impact you in any way, you can choose to challenge that or protect yourself and there is no shame with either choice.

PWC AC Kolkata UK team is the worst team.

They put a status call at 10 in the morning and expect to work throughout the day till 9PM with all the calls at night

If someone logs off at 8ish also. It is considered as early off. One the worst work life balance ever in UK supporting organisation.

There is no concept of 9 hours work schedule. I want to name few people but doing it

Had an associate of mine recently confront me and say he has a crush on me. Told him nope and that would be very unprofessional. He has reassured me that this won’t impact our working dynamic but lately there’s been a lot of pushback on any direction given to him or the team. I’m growing concerned he is holding something against me.

How should I approach this?
