Letters of recommendation should be aimed at the culture of the job's organization. At my org, "compassion" is one of our 5 corporate values. It would absolutely stand out in a letter of recommendation. It would look like the candidate did their homework.

Would you be willing to share a rubric your org uses to evaluate their job candidates? I've never seen this formalized in my field and it would be great to see how someone else has done it!

Disagree. HOW ABOUT we actually address the core problem which is putting 'perceived as masculine' traits on a pedestal and devaluing 'perceived as feminine' traits? What are we going to fix by consciously further excluding e.g. compassion from the academy? Nothing.

I'm honestly surprised this is still making the rounds when for years I've seen the same problems with it talked about - why are we pushing that everyone should be an out-for-themselves, Thatcher-esque 'alpha' and not actually changing the traits we value??

I agree completely. I just wish the solution wasn't to avoid and devalue these gendered qualities. I want colleagues/students that are caring, compassionate, hard-working, conscientious, dependable...

In summary: one should write a letter about an individual instead about an stereotype. I disagree that warm, caring, conscientious or hard working should be left out. These virtues can play a key role on the person's future performance and involvement in a team.

The problem, as said above, is that some of the "adjectives to avoid" are traditionally attributed to women - I do not think we solve the problem by removing these characteristics but by showing why e.g. being "helpful" and "interpersonal" is as important or more as "ambitious".

Dedication, diligence, persistence, compassion and so forth are gendered and therefore bad? No.

Much like gender-biased wording in job ads can lead to skewed applicants (e.g. "lead" vs. "support"), gender-biased wording in job references can lead to skewed job offers; and promotions, etc. e.g. https://blog.totaljobs.com/gender-bias "Hard worker" disadvantages those who do more than work.
