I honestly stopped correcting (writing my name in red and bold) and started misspelling their name (ex: Jeff vs Geoff, Katherine vs Kathryn). They got it together quickly after that.
This is genius
Not at all. You don’t have to be a jerk about it and can nicely correct them. But if it repeatedly happens, don’t be afraid to stick up for yourself
No. Just don’t be rude about it some people are very busy/scatterbrained
Don’t think being busy/scatterbrained is an excuse to constantly spell somebody’s name wrong
It’s remarkable how firms always preach attention to detail yet no one can spell names correctly (despite them being right there in teams / outlook) when sending a message or email. It happens to me so often I’ve stopped trying to correct people lol
Not petty at all. Had this happen to me for a couple of weeks. First time, no big deal at all. Third and fourth times, really got on my nerves lol. I just addressed it politely. Person apologized and has spelled my name correctly since.
On a similar note: I joined a team into a more PM role and the offshore team members kept calling me the wrong name (someone on client side has a similar name). I was annoyed at first, but now the team members will call the client my name… whoops
The team members will correct each other on call.
