Samantha’s story is nothing short of a sitcom episode! Sick of her colleagues constantly shortening her name, Samantha decided to flip the script.

“I don’t respond to Sam or Sammy, it’s Ms Samantha X!”
“NTA When you meet with HR, tell them you and Dickie are on the same page — neither one of you like other people randomly shortening your names. Ask HR to put out general communications about calling co-workers by their preferred names. If Dickie objects and says he thought you called him ‘A’ dick, then you respond right back that it wasn’t your intent but misunderstandings like that are more reason for HR to tell people to listen when asked to use a different name.”
