- tarboreus 4y agoYeah, I'm getting kind of enraged just thinking about it.
- tasuki 4y agoThe Elm language community has exactly such a Slack bot. I do find it a little patronizing, and in my observation it makes newcomers feel worse rather than better, but the community overall is really very nice and helpful, so I just put up with it.
- bjourne 4y agoWhy? Are you that sensitive?
- s1artibartfast 4y agoNot OP, and I wouldn't quit over a single message, or single bot. That said, it is a red flag that the company ok with spamming the employees to virtue signal. It is likely that it will be accompanied with other annoyances and has an incompatible culture. Better to get out before you go crazy or get fired.
- bjourne 4y agoConversely, an employee reacting so strongly to attempts at introducing gender-inclusive language might be a red flag too. If the employee can't tolerate that, they may have similar hangups about indentation, brace placement, choice of technology, office environment, etc.
- dokem 4y agoGotta have a little more fun. First, I would leave and go get a drink while contemplating how the fuck I ended up in an org like this. Then I would spend the next two weeks browsing job boards, trolling the company chat, taking long lunches, then hit on that one cute girl and also the kinda fatter one that you think is probably dtf as a backup.
