...without telling me your new corporate slogan was made by a man. (My wife's new AHN employee swag.)

I don't, either.

Are you serious? Do you also not understand why The Police's Every Breath You Take is creepy and not a "love song"? Do you want to be watched always? Do you not value your privacy?!

Wait. Every breath you take isn't a love song?

Every step you take, every move you make…I’ll be watching you. That’s a stalker.
Another song about a stalker, or at least desperate/futile/unrequited love: Cake’s “The Distance.” There’s one guy still on the track, driving and striving as fast as he can, thinking of someone for whom he still burns…she’s hoping in time that her memories will fade…
EDIT - okay, to everyone downvoting me, what’s the song actually about then? It isn’t just about a race, it’s absolutely a metaphor, but for what?

No, it's about a freakin STALKER.

I'll take all the downvotes you want to throw at this. This is creepy. If you can't see that this is creepy, then I can only conclude you are probably also creepy.

This is more Big Brother than stalkery, I’d say.
But I’m 100% with you on the “women/POCs/disabled folks/other groups were clearly not in the room” game. Same with manels (all-male panels).

I remember when UPMC had "strive for 5" and everyone said it meant getting out by 5 pm.
Also "we see you yesterday" ain't so grammatically correct.

“We hear for you”

The slogan could have been written by a man or a woman. Most likely though it was written by a committee consisting of men and women that don't work for UPMC but their media consultant.
Whatever the case it seems pretty Orwellian.
I always feels like somebody's watching me...and I have no privacy. -Rockwell

I mean it's AHN and not UPMC, but is there really much difference these days?

Wanting to be seen is as feminine as you can get

Ah, the corporate gaze. How very Hitchcock.

Jeez. Frankly it's very similar to the crap messaging I detested in the 2016 campaign.
"she's with me" > "I'm with her"
"we are seen" > "we see you"
