Federal employees told to remove pronouns from email signatures by end of day
Employees at multiple federal agencies were ordered to remove pronouns from their email signatures by Friday afternoon, according to internal memos obtained by ABC News.
So, will Eggs [they/them] be getting any cheaper without the pronouns?
I'll have more money to buy $12 eggs, because of all the federal crybabies who'll quit because they're mad that they have to actually do their jobs now. Tax refund, baby!!! :)
Yes, establishing a direct chain of command from the president (who knows nothing about the specifics of single low level career jobs in the government, nor should he habe to) to weaken the government's cyber security and create room for NS Germany like Gleichschaltung coming from authoritarian presidents (as Trump is, I'd argue), will definetly make you have more money.

Freedom of speech?
Freeze peach is only ever a valid argument when you use it to denigrate minorities. This is totally fine for 1st amendment nuts.
Freedom of speech means you can't go to prison for saying something.
It doesn't mean you don't have to face whatever consequences your workplace chooses.
Example: You can call your boss an asshole. You can't go to jail for calling him an asshole--because of freedom of speech. But you can very much get fired for calling him an asshole. :)
That's not what free speech means either. The first amendment of the constitution says:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Trump is blatantly violating the first amendment rights of federal employees. A business could fire someone for putting pronouns in their emails, the president however, cannot.
