I got a verbal warning for referring to someone as a "guy" in my team's group chat.
As in "I've got a guy here who's running into issues with getting his loan processed. How should I proceed with assisting him?"
My language wasn't professional enough, and my manager pulled me aside to warn me not to do it again. I've since left the role, and my new team fully embraces casual conversation (my manager has outright exclaimed that "our software is a piece of shit" to much agreement). Things are much better now.
Back in my retail days, I had a Karen get upset because I said "how are you guys doing tonight?" to a group that was not 100% men.
Pretty sure that's just a regional thing. I guess screw you for not being born in a "y'all" region?
I'm from not-urban Georgia and I (and most other people) say "guys" a lot too
Isn't "y'all" singular and "all y'all" plural? I've heard this but have conflicting accounts of what is true.
