I use my birth assigned pronouns. Although I have started to transition (mtf) and am clearly somewhere in between now, I have kept up male binary appearances. FWIW I don’t put my pronouns in my signature / profile because I really don’t want to be asked. They should be she/her but I am not ready yet to flip the switch on social transition. 🤷🏻‍♀️

So our CEO asked me and a colleague to give a Start/Stop/Continue Mid-year review of our CIO who’s been our Head of Product for a few months (Our Head of Product left because of him when that guy came in)

We have a lot to say and none of the PMs approves the way he operates.

My concern is that it’s meant to be transparent but if we’re honest and he gets called off, he will figure out it comes from us.

Never been in that situation before, is it better to be completely honest or a bad idea?

I'm a cashier. We just got a new manager, and she's making things really hard for us.

And when we ask her about it, she gets mad.

I'm worried that if I speak up, she'll make my life even harder. I don't want to lose my job because of this—do you guys have any advice?
