Some writers use "she"/"her" as genderless pronoun. Example: CEO should fire her own people for the last resort.

What do you think of this?

I think that is still poor and confusing English when not talking about a specific person. I notice people do this when trying to make speech more inclusive, and I still struggle with parsing the sentence because of the unnessisary gender being mentioned.

You can just say "they/them/their"!
