Company email: His/her

What the hell is the point of putting your pronouns of his/her after your name in a business email? Just received this from some newbie who replied to all. So you're putting a default pronoun in parenthesis that has already been understood to be a pronoun for thousands of years? This crap makes me irrationally angry, sorry Poli Talk just had to vent for a sec and get your thoughts.

I knew my last serious relationship was doomed when my ex got her dream job with a "cool" company and immediately changed her email signature to have "her / hers"

They push that shite in college and new graduates think that’s how the world works. They couldn’t be more wrong.
When you look at emails within academia for the most part everyone uses stupid pronouns.

I work with tons of foreigners with funny names and I actually appreciate it in that context.

I would just delete it because that person will never last at a real job for long

When someone shares their pronouns they're doing the reader a favor.
It's shorthand to tell the reader that they have given them permission to disregard wholesale anything said by the sharer, past, present and future, as it is not to be considered as having come from a serious adult.

The really dumb (not just insane and evil) aspect is the implication that someone would use one gender pronouns for subject and another for possessive or object.
When he is giving it in some dude’s a-hole, then he is a dude but when he is getting his—sorry “her” arse pounded her arse is a girl’s. Makes sense.

Turn me into the bar but I have ignored many an email from such senders. They’re usually peons so I wait for a higher up with no custom “pronouns” to follow up. Or make my client do it directly.

We have a "they/them" at work. Pretty exhausting stuff.

I’m going to change my pronouns to gum/baw.

I’d put him/hers just to mess with people.

LOL, off to a good start there.
We've got a big brain in one of the plants in Mexico that occasionally hits reply all when bitching about a problem in the warehouse there.
Reply all to 20,000+ employees across the globe.
I'm starting to see some pronouns in emails from young middle managers fresh out of college, nobody above or below them.

Why must you use the name of our Creator and Holy One in your profane remark? Please stop doing that in your life brother.

A person who volunteers from the VA at an agency I volunteer at has she her
I asked her about it. Her boss says it's required.
