After reading through this thread I spent maybe 30 minutes googling the pronoun issue. Apparently I had lived in the dark up to this point. My cursory search did not really clarify things for me with regard to specifically how each pronoun is defined and which group of individuals each represents.

I regret to inform you that you are now a bigot.

Well, not intentionally. Although I likely could have come up with more answers if I would have valued my own education more than my bedtime last night while I was looking into it.

I'd love to hear the pronoun debate in a country with gendered language. Who does the queen of Spain think she is to just assume all doors are feminine?

For German, you use the neuter, like physicians use for pharmacists when being jerks. As opposed to "lord999 will get the med to me", es wird das Medikament für mich bekommen ("it will get the med to me"). Experienced this first hand at Heidelberg before I pulled my academic card on them as I'm no *#*(ing refugee. It is as depersonalizing and rude in German as it is in English, although very inconvenient as you can address anyone and anything with it. For all their high and mighty talk in Europe about inclusiveness, I watched that same Professor Ordinarius throw a banana peel on the football pitch (soccer field) as a protest gesture against the opposing team's striker and did not realize just how offensive she was to the entire American delegation (including our black colleagues) until it was quietly explained afterwards what the meaning of it is. For all the hell that the Civil Rights Era was, we did become better for it in a way that Europe never did in terms of class, race, and even orientation.

I'm actually really curious now. What possible job title could you have that would make me say "Oh, ****, I take it back, please have mercy"

CEO of Boehringer-Ingleheim?
Clinical Coordinator of McKesson?
Another one of Z's alternate accounts?
Larry Merlo? (Actually, this one makes sense)

as a floater i have no control over the pharmacy's day to day operation. if you're blaming a floater for drug expiration, you're just dumb a.f

Your job title is "floater"?! Quite a let down. 🙁

I was expecting a job title worthy of Uncle Phil.

Vice President of Metrics or something like that

Yeah, I had a lot of theories in my head (hey, maybe SooSoooooo really is Merlo!), but "floater" wasn't one of them. So is this a floating technician position, I didn't think those existed, so I guess that is impressive. Sort of.

Walgreens used to have floating technicians (and still may, I have no idea) but I’m not aware that Cvs ever had them. You’re right that would be impressive in its way.

if u know my job title u would not say something that stupid.

Aw sad day. Just a floater.

Aw sad day. Just a floater.

To be fair, i think she is a new graduate, so don't hold being a floater against her.

It's not like she's one of those pharmacists that are so awful that they are permanent floaters.
