Male employee swaps email signature with female colleague, with 'shocking' results...

The prevalence of gender bias is an uncomfortable truth for many HR departments - and whilst strides are being made to minimise levels of discrimination, unfortunately instances, such as the following, only serve to highlight how far we have to go.

A male employee at a firm in Philadelphia, US, accidentally swapped email signatures with a female colleague. According to the Daily Mail, Martin Schneider was confused by the "rude and dismissive" responses he received from clients, only to realise that it was down to them believing he was co-worker Nicole Pieri.
