All the years I worked for someone else, I followed their rules. If I wanted to make up my own directives, I would have started my own company.

Not fired for including pronouns.

Fired “for” refusing to remove pronouns.

There is a difference.

Anyone posting their “pronouns” simply exposes the fact that they have problems.

No less, probably much more.

Avoid them like the plague.

Sickos do what sickos do.


I would have never made it to be 84, if I hadn’t decided while being 39-40 to avoid sickos like avoiding the plague!

Working for TxDOT I had at the end of my emails: “bloody wars and dread diseases” — a phrase apparently uttered during toasts by the British Army in India during the Raj. It meant that a casualty further up the chain of command was the only way to get ahead.

Somebody complained, I had to take it off.

The other day I was waiting to board a plane. There were 4-5 middle aged black women waiting to board and having a lot of fun together as they laughed heartily. As I walked past I quipped “You people need to stop having so much fun.”

Fortunately, they laughed so hard at my joke they didn’t notice my innate racism and yell at me.

When I see pronouns (he/him, she/her, they/them, xir/xim, whatever), I acknowledge they are on borrowed time and have taken the clot shots.

FR censored mine “because somebody complained”
It said: The US Gubbmint trained me to kill Commies and Radical Mooslims. IrOnic, ain’t it?

I speculate, meanwhile somewhere else someone is getting fired for *not* putting pronouns in emails.
= = =

How about ‘hemail’, or ‘shemail’?

And just how are we still allowing that word ‘mail’, as in email?

Hotmail, Gmail, etc, to soon be affected.

I wonder if I would be fired for my preferred pronouns, which are-

Mr.
and
SIR!

I used the term “you people” to a NEEEEGRO woman SEIU union rep once and she accused me of RACISM.

I pointed out to her that the tape recorder was running during the entire disciplinary hearing, her response was “so what”.

My response was that she would either retract her accusation of racism on the current hearing record or I would
SUE HER INTO POVERTY ALONG WITH EVERY EXECUTIVE OFFICER OF SEIU and I would try to the best of my ability to get them all FIRED!

I told her considering the fact that my company (state gov) had a zero tolerance policy about such things that her unsubstantiated accusation could cause me to lose my job and livelihood and I would not tolerate that and would see her in court.

She immediately retracted her statement “FOR THE RECORD” and said I had just misunderstood her.

Bullshit; she was a NEGRO FEMALE UNION REP FOR SEIU and was trying to intimidate the evil WHITE MALE SUPERVISOR, well it doesn’t work with this HONKEY sweetheart.

Weird thing is she was trying to prevent the termination of a CORNFED, BLUE EYED, BLOND HAIRED, LYING THIEF!

SOB was terminated (FIRED) 20 minutes later!

I don’t think that’s very much different than “Progressives in the open, Fire For Effect”?
