Halifax is slammed for adding pronouns to staff name badges
What a completely pointless gesture. No one really needs a badge to tell them that Barbara on checkout No4 is a woman or that Gary directing customers to the cash machines is a bloke. And if, on the rare occasion, there is any confusion, people have long proved capable of talking, laughing and apologising to each other.
Pronoun badges are pernicious. Expecting people to adorn themselves in ‘she/her/hers’ labels is degrading and infantilising. It suggests we are incapable of the most mundane social interactions without visual directives. Although companies often rush to point out that wearing badges is optional, staff who refuse to wear them risk being thought a bigot.
