Hi,
I added to my email signature at work the rainbow infinity sign that says Autism Awareness and underneath that, I wrote abe clear and concise please.
Am email has been sent to everyone saying we cannot have any banners etc on the email signatures. I asked my manager if mine was ok as it tells people how I need my communication and she said no, I cant have it as its a business directive.
This is what it looked like below. Is there anything I can do or suggest?
What about discussing with HR the suggestion of using a more nationally recognised scheme such as the signature image files from the Sunflower Hidden Disabilities initiative (there is one with a green background for lanyard wearers and another one with a white background for lanyard supporters). That raises awareness and highlights some consideration / support is appropriate - it makes the point without being quite so much of a signature personalisation as your organisation can vet, virus-check, approve and install the 2 image options on the intranet etc. for colleagues to select for inclusion in their email signature.
(Some people might worry the the rainbow themed images might (irrationally) encourage some anti-LGBTQIA+ bigots (rainbow pride etc.) - to be promoted into: unwelcome poor behaviour).
