  • I manage a workforce across time zones and, as someone with ADHD, it’s usually best for me to fire off messages as things arise. If I read the summary, I’m not allowed to Slack/email after hours, which creates a huge burden for a remote workforce. I think that summary is incorrect and it’s more that I can’t force people to respond or even read those messages outside their work hours. I completely support this and I regularly bother my team when they respond to stuff after their day has ended. I call this out every quarter as we update our team working agreement. I don’t have any notifications set up for work comms period and have made it very clear the only way to get in touch with me is a phone call.








  • I understand that “neutral” doesn’t take a position and explicitly gendered language does. I understand that using generic (not gendered) plural third person pronouns in a singular form is both grammatically correct and universally accepted in languages that do not already have a gender-neutral pronoun. Notice the use “neutral” in “gender-neutral” to refer to the generic (not gendered) pronoun.

    I don’t understand where you explain how a lack of gender-neutral pronouns is neutral. Could you show me where you did that? If you didn’t, you “clearly” don’t understand the point I was making.
