Irish Employee Claps Back at Co-worker’s Name Game

We all know that one person who just can’t seem to get our name right, no matter how many times we correct them. But what if that person is a co-worker who consistently mispronounces your name, even after being corrected multiple times? One Irish employee living in Germany found themselves in this exact situation and decided to take a stand. The employee, whose name is traditionally Irish and uncommon outside of Ireland, had their name repeatedly mispronounced by a co-worker named Brian. Despite numerous corrections, Brian continued to get it wrong. But our Irish protagonist had enough and decided to confront Brian in an epic way.

After numerous attempts to correct Brian’s mispronunciation of their name, our Irish protagonist decided enough was enough. In a meeting, they confronted Brian by challenging him to pronounce Tchaikovsky’s name correctly, which he did. They then pointed out that if he could say Tchaikovsky, he could say their name correctly too, emphasizing the importance of basic respect. Brian later complained about being embarrassed, but it seems our Irish hero’s point was made loud and clear. Let’s see what the internet thinks of this situation…
