So someone might have started a new temporary job recently (I know, ANOTHER ONE), and as part of some virtual introductions the other day some of that persons' colleagues introduced themselves as 'name, she/ her', two females, both she/ her and then one male who didn't bother with the gender pronouns, so neither did that particular person, and then all the other females gender IDd themselves too, meaning that particular person may have been struck with the uncomfortable feeling that the only two people who didn't feel it necessary to conform to the gender identifying ritual were, you got it, the two blokes, who may or may not (we'll never know) have identified as him/ he....
Anyway, that someone might have got to thinking that was interesting, and possibly because of the agenda being set by a lot of Gen Zrs, or millennials and probably being the only Gen X in the virtual room....
Hmmm......
And then it turns out that also during introductions like everyone else has done not only XYZ but also A-E and a whole host of other letters to build a list of that council role, this achievement, that campaign, this voluntary work, yada yada yada, and then that someone is like 'errrr I just work here'......
And then by the end of the first week that someone is getting chucked all the complex cases and swimmming in them and getting nowhere while Keano Dave is chucking 15 messages a day in the group whatsapp with this and that helpful advice....
And that someone may said quietly under their breath on more than one occasion - FFS it's just a job, get over it!
Or maybe it's not, maybe this is the brave new world of workin Gen Z land.
Until half of them go off on 4 months of mental health leave and the rest of them glad to have that certain someone onboard after all!
WHAT A WEEK, GAME ON!
