You might be correct, good person. I'm curious if this is standard in the industry...

Thanks. In the industry it's common but glad to hear this feedback. I edited above.

In my experience this is pretty standard across the industry.

Isn’t this standard practice in some industries ?

Fargoan | karma 72 | avg karma 0.36 · | 2022-07-24 14:18:46

Probably. I would think that would be common in that industry no matter the location

alam2000 | karma 8 | avg karma 0.07 · | 2018-04-23 06:59:33+00:00

Yes, I believe they are. It is very common in the industry.

Are you sure? It's been accepted as common practice in my 15 year career so far, across multiple industries including automotive, finance, and marketing.

Yeah I don't know how many companies do it, but it seems like a process that in some form is a good best practice.

Absolutely and thanks, I didn't realize it was so common, but sounds like it is very widely used within the industry.

dnh44 | karma 993 | avg karma 1.95 · | 2017-04-27 21:45:58+00:00

It's standard practice already in at least one industry I know of.

Whilst it may not be technically true, most companies behave as if it is.

ianai | karma 10241 | avg karma 1.69 · | 2020-03-30 16:17:56+00:00

It appears to be standard practice everywhere in corporate America.

Fairly uncommon in conservative US business. I'm torn on the matter between viewing it as corporate virtue signaling--which it absolutely is--while also considering the benefit of leveling the field for people who wish to avoid being misaddressed or awkwardly correcting others.

Indeed. For some companies it’s par for the course.

toomuchtodo | karma 88050 | avg karma 2.82 · | 2022-06-10 15:20:37

This is an outlier, and while commendable (I’d love to hear who it was, positive signal about who to work for wrt to respect and treatment of workers), it isn’t industry standard by any means. Great if you can get it, but don’t expect it.

VRay | karma 1344 | avg karma 2.74 · | 2020-01-24 18:41:04

All the companies I ever worked for did, so I think it's normal even though it's some BS

hsuduebc2 | karma 284 | avg karma 1.19 · | 2022-11-21 20:52:17

From my experience even from bigger companies it is sometimes common practice.

rat9988 | karma 1816 | avg karma 2.31 · | 2022-12-11 18:29:14

I'm not sure, all of mines at big companies have followed this definition.

malvosenior | karma 4408 | avg karma 2.13 · | 2019-04-03 17:48:54+00:00

Anecdotally as someone in the industry 20+ years I've very, very rarely seen this and 100% of the time it has occurred the offender was properly dealt with.

jdbernard | karma 1277 | avg karma 1.89 · | 2016-12-19 17:34:51

Well, it depends. I've been in healthy situations where this was true. One company in particular where this was mostly true from the very top down.

Of course, yes, there are plenty of situations where it is just double-talk.
