Calling MDs by their nickname/shortened name (Bobby, Richie, etc)
Changed names for anonymity.
Sent a networking email to an MD named Robert, he replied and signed his email "Best, Bobby." I sent him a follow up email where I called him Bobby. When he emailed me back he had changed his name on his signature to Robert.
tl;dr MDs are petty and don't like to be called Bobby smh
LOL did you deadass call a 50 year old man 'bobby'?

I don't think you did anything wrong here.
If somebody lists their name in an email, I'd say it's fair game to call them that.
It is either 1) He listed in lengthened form in email 2 just because it's default in his signature. You can have multiple signatures in Outlook 2) He's playing mind games lol
when talking with superiors, it's best to use terms of endearment, it keeps it fun in the office. here are some of my faves
