"On the other hand, the announcement opens with "we would like to share ..." which I find extremely offensive."

Haha, I'm completely with you. I'll start drafting a letter demanding an apology for this micro aggression.

I'm not sure what it ways about how far down this rabbit hole I am, but I picked up the issue immediately. It's just so insane though. Surely the same logic must apply to "chain", "whip," "cotton," "barefoot," "auction," the list is endless.

When I was writing on braintrust's site that almost all their job postings required living in the USA I got dinged for "negativity"; one of their people messaged me with

"I am reaching out to share ..." (the site guidelines).

I got her online and demanded to know what I had violated, which of course I had not. Half the people on there seeking work live outside the USA yet they boasted about being global.

Anyway her opening sentence made about as much sense as a canary.
