is it normal to be referred by your last name at work?

[sygyzy]

Happens to me at work and outside of work. It's not a big deal. They don't say it to be mean. It's just what everyone calls me.

haha id be pissed. sort of..well not really.
friends call me by my last name.
i could see a hardass boss doing it..its all in the context.

 

[AAman]

Depends on the job/place, I get that all day long, usually with 'officer' in front of it which makes me look around for the person they are talking to lol. But you should feel lucky she knows who you are 🙂

My first name is Matt, which is really common, so I've been called by my last name quite a lot.

okay...but it still bothers me that she can't just use my first name

Tell her? 😕

I'm emailing her back with a response but in the end, I will write

Thanks,
FIRST NAME

Hahahaha, that's so wonderfully passive aggressive. Christ.

Definitately not. My last name would not work well as a first nor nick name.

My best friend calls me by my last name. Most people (acquaintances) in college did so too. But my last name is awesome so I don't mind.

 

[KLin]

The next time she calls you lays, say "please call me Frito". Wham, Bam, Thank you Ma'am.

i call a few of my friends by their last names

 

[Bateluer]

My previous job was active duty military, so it was last name only for 6 years.

 

[alkemyst]

the women call me Hung at work...that's not my last name though 😕

 

[skace]

This is hilarious, we need to know the last name in question here.

[child of wonder]

Happens to me a lot since my first name, Michael, is so common. I've also come to realize over the years that people who will only call me by my last name generally aren't people I should consider friends. That theory has proven true many times.

Or maybe Allison?
