I believe this is evidence of the stalemate and culture clash as I was writing about earlier. We believe the best results come from combining different perspectives and uniting them with shared values and mission. We believe in and encourage diversity on any axis that remains consistent with our mission, principles and values. We abide by the spirit of the truth, not merely its letter; we do not hide falsehoods in language that is technically true or otherwise misleading. These are from your site. Who defines truth? In this case - HR does. This is a reason I would not be welcomed at Oxide because my truths (obscene and archaic as they are) would conflict with the local culture despite living two zip codes away. We treat others with dignity, be they colleague, customer, community or competitor. and and that a good sense of humor is essential for humility To some people in the US - 'guys' is gender neutral. This is not respected by them (you) leading them (you) to point out the unintended gendering. There was not intention and there was no gendering. The good will is lost because the respect is not bi-directional. Language-fluid people exist and their diversity brings color and humor to non-binary phrases. | ||||||||

If it's of any solace, the feeling is almost assuredly mutual: your hypothetical candidate materials at Oxide would likely reveal that you are more interested in picking fights than solving problems. So you would likely not be welcomed at Oxide simply because you wouldn't make the cut -- quite aside from whatever social grievances you may foster. | ||||||||
