    Default Hold the Mayo: wearable buttons for employees to display their preferred pronouns



    The Mayo Clinic introduced a fresh round of woke policies relating to gender identity this week, including wearable buttons for employees to display their preferred pronouns.

    The company announced that it has updated its Dress and Decorum Policy to approve the pronoun buttons, according to a news article on Mayo Clinic’s internal website.

    Mayo Clinic also updated its Email Signature Policy for official emails, informing employees that preferred pronouns can now be included in email signatures.

    Several years ago, Mayo Clinic also reportedly changed all its restrooms to be gender-neutral, a move that has been particularly unpopular with women, and the restrooms now display signs with notices like, “For the consideration of others, please lower the lid.”

    “At Mayo Clinic, our values and our commitment to the values are one of our biggest differentiators,” said Mary Jo Williamson, Mayo Clinic’s vice chair of Administration.

    I don't see anything horrible about the Mayo Clinic policies.

    We could do with a little more Dr, Mr, Miss, Mrs. and even Ms. if that's what you like.
    I personally love it when a 16 year old counter clerk with a nose ring calls me honey, don't you?

    We have gotten informal as shit in our language, in our dress, and in our demeanor in general.
    Even if we actually do all hate each other as much as I suspect, a little decorum might cool things down.
    Except on this forum, of course.
    The forum is to vent as anonymous internet characters.
