    Readers added context they thought people might want to know

    The tweet Based on a satirical SpaceXMania article (August 7, 2023), it’s falsely claimed that Megan Rapinoe lost $10 million after her U.S. national team exit. SpaceXMania, a fictitious news source, admits its content is humorous or satirical.

    Hey Meghan, don't put your pronouns on your resume. Potential employers will laugh and delete it.

    The standard signature at my employer has pronouns on it.

    Maybe you're thinking of shit employers who are less interested in employing the best person for the job than their small-minded and hateful politics, who will be out of business due to less staffing options than a good employer?

    Haw haw hee hee ho ho! The best person for the job? Do you really believe all that? It is more like the person who causes fewer problems and works for a small salary. They see the pronouns and they think she will be offended really easily and start trouble in the office and maybe a fight. Might as well ask them to hire an ex-con in accounting and promise they won't embezzle any money. The Jews I worked with would not hire her. I was hired because I cause fewer problems and I am a very good programmer debugger who works for $50K a year instead of $150K a year because I am not greedy.

    Nah, the opposite.

    They see she'll work well with a wider group of people.

    Keep lying to yourself if you like.

    It's not gonna work on anyone else, you aren't that good at it.

    Trans people are minorities they don't make up the majority. They'll see her as unemployable.

    The majority of people are in some minority. Being able to work with a diversity of people increases your employability.

    In an organization of any size.

    She only works with woke people who are 1% of the market. Can't work with Asians, Muslims, Africans, or white people because they have different beliefs.

    What's your best data on that?

    [–]binaryblob 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

    $50K a year

    If you are any good, you should move or work remotely.

    because I am not greedy

    That's called being stupid.

    I think you are not good and are getting a market rate, although your analysis in the first few sentences is correct, although those analyze different aspects of reality.

    I work for myself now as a contractor. I have freedom now and can set my salary to whatever I want and leave some in the business.

    Nothing to do with politics. It's to do with full on cluster b personality disorders.

    Decent bosses don't expect their employees to have to work with psychopaths or those who make nice for them at the expense of others.

    [–]binaryblob 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

    Decent bosses don't exist, because they are the psychopaths.

    Being a bot isn't a job

    [–]ActuallyNot 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

    I work for a large engineering organisation. Our standard email sigs have pronouns.

    You're fooling yourself. You're a bot at an bot farm.

    "They're / them're" a bot at a bot farm. 😄

    Most people avoid interacting with pronoun bios as much as possible. It's basically stating that person is stupid and easily offended. It's bad for business. Companies that have leaned into ESG and gender nonsense haven't been doing too well.

    I doubt it.

    What's your best evidence of this?

    Bullshit. She's had a great career, is still a "star" and will always be remembered as one of the greatest footballers. She needs to retire from playing. She fucked up US's chances in the last World Cup (Women's). Now it's time to coach, or do sports journalism, or some other sport, or whatever she wants, other than play in a national team.

    Uh you know this story is "satire" right?
