Are people on HN getting railed at work with pronoun campaigns? We had one and it was honestly _the easiest thing in the world_
"Hey Daft, can you add pronouns"
*15 seconds later
"Done!"
What's the honest holdup with making the work environment more inclusive to non-binary or fluid people, there are a _lot_ of them. We already call people by their preferred titles, preferred nicknames, why the hangup on pronouns?
- lelanthran 3y agoNothing wrong with it, but why would a manager prefer to interview a campaigner for FOO over someone else, all else being equal. The advice is how to get a salary when you need it. Take off anything even slightly controversial.

- DaftTomatoes 3y agoWhat do people on HN mean when they say > Campaigner for pronouns? Specifically, in a concrete day to day sense? Asking for the smallest of efforts, the most minimal of inclusive actions, in the form of "putting a pronoun on your slack profile" doesn't really feel like a _campaign_ to me. We've spent more time here talking about it then it takes to add it to the profile during the "campaign"!

Do you disagree with the statements: The advice is how to get a salary when you need it. Take off anything even slightly controversial. ??? Anyone campaigning, or proud of campaigning, on their CV will get fewer callbacks. It's unfortunate but true.
