Halifax criticised after introducing subtle change to bank staff's name badges

Halifax has caused a stir after adding a subtle change to their staff name badges. A picture on Twitter shows a staff member with 'she', 'her' and 'hers' written underneath 'Gemma'.

The bank has been flooded with replies over social media, with some even threatening to close their accounts over the controversial move.

Simon Edge replied saying: "What if a Halifax employee doesn't want to put pronouns on their lapel, perhaps because they reject the cult of gender ideology? Will they be disadvantaged in any way? Barred from promotion? Fired?." The bank have since confirmed that adding pronouns is "completely optional".
