D1 not everyone is like you. Its like “clickbait”. It is much easier to sell a product that looks good but doesn’t work right, than one that doesn’t look good but performs all the functions perfectly.

Probably better off in tech then. I miss my days of flip flops and t-shirts.

I've been working from home for ~6 years now. Still wear flip flops and t-shirts. Unfortunately I have to meet clients occasionally and the suit (only have one now) has to come out.

🙄🙄 cause work is work and it requires sharpness and rigor.

This is so AWKWARD. We had our holiday party last night and everyone was drinking (open bar) a group of us went outside to grab cabs together and go home, everything was cool.

Hi! First time working with a larger company - suggestions on handling pronouns at work?

I’ve worked with smaller agencies where it was easier to bring up. Now I’m on a larger team, talking to/referencing people I’ve never met. I’m less concerned about my own pronouns and more concerned about how to make sure I’m using the correct pronouns for the people I work with.

I’ve been structuring sentences to avoid gender specific pronouns but would love to hear suggestions. Thanks!
