This post brought to you by OMG, MOTHER! I AM GOING TO CRAW UNDER A TABLE NOW AND BOGGLE.
On the plus side, now that your brother and mother have both checked in this week with their their particular character sets, we appreciate your awesomeness EVEN MORE.
And he is my area's HR head. He gets the stinkeye.
Oh my goodness, Plei, I just came across that. Since it isn't my mother, it kind of made me giggle, but I imagine it is not funny if it is your mother.
I've never had to say "please don't call me Tommy" to anyone more than once. Maybe they can sense the rage right below the surface.
No one really ever calls me anything except Nadine. Except in middle school when people decided my nickname should be Neigh-Moo, which is just odd, and one friend in college who thought I should be Mel.
I do however, get called Nancy, Naomi, Nellie, and Renee a lot.
Oh my god, Becky!
Look at her butt. It is so big.
If he were here, I would correct him. Over email I won't. My email signature is my full name. Take that as a prompt! Perhaps someone on HR should be better at such cues.
Shrift, having never met me you have no idea how funny that is.
Plei, I suspect your mom and my stepdad might be related.
Someone in HR should absolutely know better. We are a very first-names-only company (for whatever reason) and all the Jennifers, for example, get nicknames in part so we can easily tell which Jennifer we're talking about, but anyone who goes by a nickname gets to pick that nickname, or at least explicitly approve it.
Oh, mom of Plei.
