Would you ding a kid for having their pronouns on their LinkedIn

Would you ding a kid for having their pronouns on their LinkedIn. How about in their email signature 


There's been a common trend in every Summer Analyst I've worked with where they list She/Her in their name, they've been an annoying bitch to work with. Always expecting special treatment and other bs 

 

Ironic how each side claims the other are snowflakes and they both get offended so easily by stupid meaningless shit that's not hurting anyone

Having pronouns in someone's LinkedIn profile obviously isn't hurting anyone in and of itself, it's more that it's a massive red flag indicating that someone is very likely to be a problem child.

 

Take a time machine 50 years ago and the same thing would be said about people of color

 

It's not a matter of being "offended." It's a matter of whoever uses pronouns like this doesn't have common sense. There are two biological sexes. Not "genders"; gender is used to refer to grammar.

Face it, we don't want it. I know you're going to say that this lets us be more inclusive to people who practice transgenderism, but that's not my goal, nor is it something people want. If you were doing business in Saudi Arabia, you wouldn't get mad at them for not drinking alcohol. Well, we don't want Silicon Valley/New York values imposed on us either.

When homosexual marriage was legalized, at the time my mindset was, well this doesn't really affect people outside of them so although it's not my cup of tea, I can't really argue against it - but it does seem now that it's opened up a whole can of worms culturally, and we don't want it.

Whatever economic benefit we get from more "diversity" isn't worth continued cultural rot and debasement of all human life to the lowest common denominator, where everyone is androgynous, no one is exceptional, and the main priority is an obsession with safety, walking on eggshells, and just blindly following orders from your Latinx obese HR manager with 20 cats. We need to get back to a culture that focuses on greatness instead of rolling out the red carpet to the lowest.

 

Actually there are more than 2 distinct "sexes" or presentations of biological genitalia. There are people born with both male and female parts if you will, (now known as hermaphrodite or intersex) and some born lacking certain biological genitalia that traditionally corresponds with their "sex".  Secondly, Human gender identity is not located in ones genitalia but rather in certain sections of the brain specifically, the development of gender identity is represented by the central subdivision of the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BNST) and the third interstitial nucleus of the anterior hypothalamus (INAH3).  This has nothing to do with grammar.

None of this biology has anything to do with cultural rot except in your ideology. It's just science. 

 

You know those people who put their pronouns in Zoom - lol. But no, I would not risk harming some kids career significantly due to a small sign of political affiliation they display which does not impact me in the slightest. That sounds like being a complete asshole to me. This is like dinging a dude for listing guns as one of his interests. Not cool.

 

The left just keeps slowly encroaching and trying to restrict gun owners’ rights.

 

The number of kids who get jobs will be the same, so I don’t see anything wrong with “dinging” someone for any reason. It just helps someone else.

Putting pronouns in a profile is a sign of poor judgment. Whether that’s a dealbreaker depends on how competitive the role is. 

 

I agree - it's just cringe. The exception would be if you're trying to finesse a DEI program (especially if you're claiming to be lgbt rather than Hispanic) - I feel like it'd be necessary to have it on your LinkedIn or at least your resume. Maybe go "he/him/él" for the extra implication

 

If you feel the need to use pronouns you don't belong in banking... simple as that.

 

Nothing qualifies me at all. It's my opinion, take it as it is. I don't respond to anyone from my alma mater who uses pronouns. It's political virtue signaling, and in all honesty it's soft as f*ck. 

 

DING, DING, DING. Only part of it has to do with political leaning...in my opinion, either you are a male or female, and hopefully people can tell by looking at your photo and not because you specified your "pronouns". All this has gotten out of control over the last few years (and I'm not even that old).

Mostly it has to do with lack of awareness and street smarts. No one will EVER ding you for NOT including your pronouns, but some people will absolutely ding you for it.

It's a free country and you can say/think/feel whatever you want, but why put yourself at a potentially major disadvantage? Finance people, for the most part, are generally conservative.

 

I think it's to get past the HR screen tbh. Way too many "woke" basic bitches in HR.

 

If I were still in IB, I would not. Who gives a shit? All I need is a bunch of efficient monkeys that crank out error free books. 

 
Controversial

Ding. Do not put pronouns. Stop virtue signalling. Read the bible. Uphold Judeo-Christian values upon which the West was built, and became the greatest, most successful, civilisation ever built.

We have to encourage a return to traditional moral values.

 

Judeo-Christian values did nothing but harm the West's dominance and advances (i.e. Christian book burnings). Look at how successful Greek & Roman civilizations were pre-Christianity. Ancient Greek philosophy and Hellenistic philosophy like Stoicism produce superior civilizations than Christian civilizations. 
 

“Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones.” ― Marcus Aurelius, Last of the Five Good Emperors of the Roman Empire

Array
 

There is some overlap between ancient philosophies alike Stoicism and Judeo-Christian values. Both believe in the importance of living a virtuous life end using the rational mind to control you passions. When OP says, “return to Judeo-Christian values” I believe this is what he is talking about.

 

Hate to break it to you, but Western glory came about like this

The modern Western world <- industrial revolution <- enlightenment <- renaissance <- reviving the Roman world by going against Middle Ages Christianity* (i.e. naked statues of David, and allowing usury in trade, which were anti-Christian) + Islamic Golden Age (example: algorithm comes from the Arabic Al Khawirzmi, so does alcohol and the concept of algebra) +  < - Ancient Greece < - Babylon, Syria and Persia

*Btw, the Middle Ages Christianity the renaissance Italians were rebelling against in the 13th - 15th centuries was actually a Romanised form of Jesus' teachings that Jesus himself would've been offended by (idea of the trinity, three Gods in one, idolatry, alcohol) that are completely against the ideals of an Abrahamic faith.

It was never a Judeo-Christian thing. If its was, then Christians wouldn't have been slaughtering Jews for 2,000 years. Turn off Fox News and read a history book.

 

Hmm, this is pretty interesting to read, didn't realize this forum was so against pronouns? Interesting that pronouns are supposedly a political topic, might just be my geography

To answer your question OP, I wouldn't even think twice about them listing it

Personally don't see an issue in listing/using preferred pronouns at all, I'm happy to refer to people in the way they prefer to be addressed. All experiences I've had in the workplace have just been catching myself if I slip up and use the wrong ones toward someone who uses different ones (typically someone who goes by they/them). Not much of a headache on my end and I haven't found any meaningful correlation between people who specify pronouns and their attitudes in the workplace.

To me, it's just a matter of respect and inclusivity - I understand there are differing opinions on the gender vs. sex debate that I don't see a need to get into (which I suppose explains why pronouns are a political topic), but feel like something so small as using the correct pronouns doesn't inconvenience anyone and shouldn't incite a big debate?

Hopefully the above isn't too controversial and happy for someone to challenge my views if I'm not thinking about it the right way 

 

think of it this way -- the client CFO is on a call and asks to be explained a certain assumption made on the model. MD; "Sure, he [referring to the analyst] can explain." Analyst: "No md, my pronouns are they/them," 50-year-old conservative client CFO: "[What the hell is going on here?]". Long story short, these craps don't belong to the Investment Banking environment, if you care about these, then go work at a marketing company or at the HR department of the bank.

 

Appreciate the example and I can completely see where you’re coming from!

I think, if I were in a similar situation, the way I would have addressed that exchange (as the Analyst) would be to not bring up the pronoun correction during the meeting, rather address the MD afterwards (in a neutral tone, just flagging that would prefer to be referred as Asshole/Bitch)

I know you say this isn’t what IBD is like, but I’ve absolutely found the seniors in my firm to appreciate these things and our firm does promote this sort of environment without forcing D&I material down our throat

I will note it seems my experience isn’t representative of what the standard IBD environment is like, so think I’m not in the best position to talk about this with a banking-specific context

Long story short, these craps don't belong to the Investment Banking environment, if you care about these, then go work at a marketing company or at the HR department of the bank.

... but this isn't the scenario?  Obviously this is inappropriate (unless said MD is doing it repeatedly and on purpose), but you've created this out of whole cloth.  If my name is Randolph and I put Randy as my name on LinkedIn, I'm not "virtue signaling," I'm expressing a preference for how I'd like to be addressed.  Pronouns are no different, whatever Sean Hannity may like you to think.  Anyone getting up in arms because someone made an honest mistake is going to find other things to be upset about anyway, so you're not exactly dodging a bullet.

 

Use pronoun on LinkedIn and it's an automatic ding.

I have never met anyone who wants to be referred as something else than they are. Never met someone who asked to refer to them as they. Especially in IBD, this is highly unlikely.

According to Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental disorders (DSM 5), gender dysphoria is not common, with only less than 0.6% of the population suffering from it. 

It does not make sense to reorganise the whole society for such a small % of the population suffering from gender dysphoria (policing whether we used right pronoubns, changing all official documents to include other genders, changing the way sports are split between men and women, bathrooms, locker rooms, competitions, department stores, fashion, schools etc).

The entire pronouns thing on LinkedIn is pure virtue signalling. Those that put their pronouns, almost always just put the pronouns we would have used anyways - he / him for men and she / her for women.

 

Appreciate you commenting, and I'll admit I find it hard to think of solutions for the broader issues in society (schools, sports etc.)

From my perspective, I do genuinely feel it's a sign of support. I view it as a simple way for me to show support to a group of people (yes - they are a small subset of our population) who struggle with their own battles, be it due to the lack of identity or the very divisive viewpoints people have on the topic

I never really thought there would be this much of a negative view towards it but it has been interesting reading this thread, and has left me with a bit to reflect on, so once again appreciate your thoughts

 

According to Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental disorders (DSM 5), gender dysphoria is not common, with only less than 0.6% of the population suffering from it. 

While this may be true, not everyone who chooses to use alternative pronouns suffers from gender dysphoria. 

Currently: future neurologist, current psychotherapist Previously: investor relations (top consulting firm), M&A consulting (Big 4), M&A banking (MM)
 

Hahaha, I wouldn't say so

If you're referencing my tone - I've always found it better to have these discussions in good faith, because it allows me / hopefully others to think more critically about our views instead of resorting to bad faith arguments. I'm more than happy to think through and challenge my / others views but understand WSO may not be the best medium to do so

If you're referencing my views - I suppose I've just been in environments that focus on respect / empathy for others without allowing it to consume my entire life. I'm aware this could be perceived as "weak" behavior, but I wouldn't say that's the sentiment held by people in my life (relationships, work, friends) 

 

hahahaha this comment is pure gold. "his people"? "us normal folk"? you must be seriously brainwashed to be this hostile.

most gay people aren't like that, & nobody's out to get you or straight people buddy

 
Funniest

Here is how me and my fellow analysts would go about it:
Pronouns on their linkedin/email signature? No -> continue? Yes -> it depends:

  • Is it "they/them"? INSTANT DING DING DING.
  • Is it "he/him"? Very likely to DING unless he is a referral by a VP or above or has amazing experience (but I'd doubt those experiences were through easier diversity programs?)
  • Is it "she/her"? Depends on how hot she is: if she is a 7+/10 looking but seemingly innocent/naive girl, then I'd give her the benefit of the doubt -- if she is not good looking, I'd ding her.
 

that's exactly why I'd ding them. Like I don't want to get cancelled or deal with HR nonsense because of this one weirdo who thinks he is neither male nor female and will raise a complaint if I make a mistake once.

If someone uses pronouns, it’s just more potential drama that no one wants. At best, the candidate is a genuine person who is trying to be inclusive. But those people are super rare, especially in banking.

It’s quite likely the candidate is attention seeking or “woke” and would be a head ache to work with.

Its like why tempt fate, why not go with the candidate you think you have a thick skin since banking can be so stressful? For example, finding a great girl is hard enough, so why give girls you know will have baggage or be be more work than normal - would you date a single mom if you were ready to settle down?

 

Hate to break it to you but it's a M7 program

They don't tell us to do it on LinkedIn FWIW

Edit: as an aside, I should note that I don't have a huge issue with people doing it... but my opinion is that you should only do it if you have pronouns that differ from those people will naturally use. I am a guy, I identify as a guy, I think it's dumb that I have to put he/him on shit because it's basically pointing out the obvious.  If I went by they or she or whatever else then obviously I'd want to do it so people use the correct pronouns. 

 

I don't put them in my bio but pretty much everyone has preferred pronouns. Nobody wants to be called she if they are a he or vice versa.

 

WSO is a weird place. 

posts about diversity: “no way, white males are discriminated against, no one else is, if I ever get in power I’m going to hire the most capable person for the job!” (I’m exaggerating this, you get the point)  

next post: “I would throw away a resume if someone uses pronouns..” (quickly moves to discriminate against a group)

hiring the best and most capable people? I know some people will turn around with arguments about what is needed in the work environment, etc (the same arguments that they disregard in other posts), but just read through this, so many people jump to conclusions and make assumptions about people just based on the use of pronouns. It is crazy, you shouldn’t care about it, if you think someone can’t do the job, figure it out from their resume, interviews, etc. look for the best people and stop discriminating. 

 

Agreed 100%. I'm one of those people who supports complete meritocracy and wants rid of all diversity programs, but I wouldn't discriminate and ding someone just for pronouns. Now if the other associated personality red flags came with that during the interview, ding them 100%. If they're good people and got all the tough techs right, I would pass them on. I think most people who believe in full meritocracy wouldn't discriminate here either.

I understand the general sentiment but imagine 500 resumes on your desk and you’re asked to pick 25 for a first round. What exactly would you do? You’re going to use some sort of assumption/heuristic to filter out candidates that WILL have flaws because you’re given a few hours not a month to figure out who advances. That is why people repeatedly say the single best way to get in is through networking and truth be told if you’ve got a few people pushing for you that’s enough to get a spot.

Dinging somebody because they are not diverse and dinging somebody because they make political statements on their LinkedIn, etc are two very different things.

 

It isn’t a political statement…

Are you going to hire the best? Or make assumptions about people based on a non political, non offensive, line in their LinkedIn profile? People may believe there is a political skew to those who use this, but let’s all be clear, not a political statement, just information on preference of how they want to be addressed, very small thing. You do realize that it is discrimination to ding people based on that right?

 

I’m hoping this is a troll. Really sad you think this way, you should open your mind up a bit to different views. I’m not saying you need to like everyone, but people are a lot more than a line on their resume or LinkedIn. People are different, think differently, etc, and the constant approach of just labeling entire groups (again over identifying information) is very dangerous. You can (obviously) choose to live your life this way, and you’ll be exposed to similar people, etc, but I wouldn’t recommend it. I’m hoping this is just one of those immature posts that happen every so often here, rather than a legitimate view. 

 

Here’s my hot take. I manage a couple hundred people in healthcare where pronouns are prevalent and people are sensitive. We have way more HR issues with people who list their pronouns in their email signatures or LinkedIn. I’ll still consider hiring you, but I also assume that you will be a whiny headache at some point. 
 

Our head of HR, who is a lesbian btw, identified this through some data analysis she ran using a ML/AI program on who our best hires are. 

 

What were some other qualities/traits of the best hires found through the data analysis?

That gets complicated based on functional area. We have the most success from people who demonstrate domain expertise in our area prior to joining. They are largely state school grads and have 7+ years of experience. I could write an epic poem on this, but unfortunately don’t have the time today. We look at a ton of data. 
 

The easiest way to frame it is more than 7 years out of school and work at someone directly relevant to us. We are in a technical and nuanced part of healthcare so it’s not something people can figure out overnight. 

 

No because LinkedIn periodically prompts you to enter them and while I'm careful to ignore said prompts it would be easy for someone to do it without thinking, at which point I would imagine you would be able to change them but it would be near impossible to remove them entirely. 

But, it would not be a point in their favor.

 

Ok, so people who have non-western or unconventional names continually get misgendered all the time. If someone called you Miss LeoSteel77 for the first few emails you had with someone, you'd be annoyed. Having pronouns when it's obvious a person is male or female is obvious virtue signalling and people pretending to be an "Ally" but there is a utility to it, as it promotes general respect and provides clarity in communication. That being said, anyone with neo-pronouns (e.g. Xir, Xie, etc.) can fuck off and should not only be dinged but blacklisted.

This is a good point and something I hadn't considered. I'm a white guy who speaks a non-western language and I've slipped up on this myself even when dealing with people from the culture whose language I speak. Typically I try to avoid referring to someone by pronouns at all if their first name is unclear (can happen with western names too, like "Pat" or "Alex"). However, in the context of LinkedIn this isn't really an issue as you can see the person's picture, and you can usually upload a picture into your profile at work as well although it may not be visible to external email recipients.

 

In all seriousness, I put my pronouns on my social media like LinkedIn or Instagram if they have an option for it. I'm not liberal by any means, but if it makes some people feel more comfortable and accepted, then why not? It takes 5 seconds out of my day and doesn't affect my life - why are you getting so twisted? If they want to refer to themselves as they/them or attack/helicopter, who cares? It doesn't affect you.

If anything, if I see someone with "he/him" or something conventional on his resume or LinkedIn, I would be more inclined to think he's empathetic, rather than virtue signaling.

 

Absolutely, for 3 reasons. 

1)  This person is so dumb or out of touch w/ reality that they don't know the difference between men and women

2)  A person who puts that on their resume is somewhere between 10kx & 1mmx more likely to make a stink w/ HR over a benign comment / incident than someone who doesn't

3)  I assume that this person will annoy the fuck out of me if I had to work w/ them

Pretty much anyone who uses pronouns is a raging leftist progressive who thinks AOC and Bernie are the greatest thinkers of our time. Personally, I believe in not discriminating against people even if they believe in retarded things. If they were okay people with good personalities and got hard techs right, I would give them the benefit of the doubt and pass them on. However, there often seems to be a correlation between being a control freak/whiny baby and progressive. If I was asked to do a networking call, I would def turn down though because I have no interest in talking to economically illiterate individuals that are clouded by emotion. It's straight up become a code of language that makes it very easy to screen people. Whenever I go through instagram profiles and see pronouns or BLM in their bio, I immediately know they're a raging leftist and to avoid like the plague. It's unfortunate that many of them tend to be good looking girls

 

Fair enough but why? I doubt people would accuse you of racist for not having something in your insta bio lol. And who cares if those retards accuse you of being racist? You know what you are. You don't become racist just because someone lazily calls you that. 

 

Call yourself Moonbeam / Unicorn / Redneck for all I care.

Don't care if you have green hair, dress like a homeless person, vote for AOC, pray to Allah next to both your LGBTQ+ and Confederate flags while eating caged salmon and working for PETA, Greenpeace, and the KKK on alternate weekends.

Do your job well, don't piss anyone off in the office, make money for the firm, do not talk politics / religion and do not bring the Woke/Cancel Culture to my door.

That's it.

Or as Harry Hart famously said 'I’m a Catholic whore, currently enjoying congress out of wedlock with my black, Jewish boyfriend who works in a military abortion clinic. So, hail Satan, and have a lovely afternoon, madam."  And no one fucks with Harry Hart...

Namaste. D.O.U.G.
 

Any adult who quotes/refers to Marvel movie characters for moral guidance belongs in the same bucket…that aside, using pronouns in your profile is unprofessional and pathetic. The fact that this has even become an issue is depressing.

In reality, if you have worked your entire life to build whatever company you have created or worked hard enough to become the CEO of, I would imagine you could not care less about what your banker likes to do in their personal lives. If someone is of the mindset that it’s something that needs to be aired out for all the world to see (or finds the need to clarify their gender in public) then yes, that is concerning and I would imagine an immediate disqualification for most candidates, at most banks, at any level.

My points are not meant to be controversial. If you want to tell me I’m rude etc, then go ahead…it’s just called reality and somehow everyone has lost a lot of it recently.
