i work with this super nice lady, and whenever i see her irl she asks how im doing and cares about my personal life

yet on emails, shes quite aggressive and chases us up on stuff constantly

AND she spelled my name wrong for the past 6 months

next time i see her irl im gonna bring it up to her. itll sound too passive aggressive over email

i think some people intentionally do it as a power play. also when people speak as quiet as possible in meetings so they have others leaning into them

i dont think its widespread but theres probs a few who get off on acting that way in the corporate world

Just reply and spell their name wrong too. And every time they send you another email with your name wrong, add another letter to their misspelled name. Pretty soon John Brown will be Ghogn Pruoun't.

They'll either get the message or just think you're crazy.

A guy I work with is named Donn and sometimes he gets called Donna in emails. It makes him really salty.

It has happened to me

Its usually the older people who do it though, the ones that sometimes seem a bit forgetful

I used to work with this guy called Geoff and I literally called him G-Off but it turns out his name was Jeff so I called him G-Off for two years and he never not once corrected me but now that I know his name is Jeff I can't just start calling him Jeff after years of G-Off.

It legit makes me think they are stupid, because my agency uses email addresses with first and last names

Half a girl name should go by Don then.
