Got staffed on a deal.
The MD doesn't capitalize my name when he mentions me in "Reply To All" e-mails :( He capitalizes the names of his partners and people from target organization. So when everyone forwards e-mails around, my name starts with lower-case.
Feels bad :(
Do you think it is appropriate to send to everyone (my MD, partner of his boutique, 3 buyout partners, and a few people from target) this email?
"Hello,
My name is Puss in Boots and I don't appreciate when my first name is not capitalized. Being an intern doesn't make me a lesser human being. I have achieve a lot for my young age, and I am well ahead of 98.3% of my peers. Please show some dignity and respect.
Thank You, Puss."
Also there is this HR chick (5'5'', 33D, 130-135lbs) I really want to hook up with. I think my e-mail will show her that I am an alpha male with lots of confidence.
What should I do?
just change your official name to lowercase, not a big deal
I smell a new WSJ front page story.
Puss in Boots, what happened to your original picture? That one had a lot more personality.
Do it! I want to learn their reaction.
Don't be an idiot sending an email like that. That sounds bitter and ugly.
If it is really pissing you off - just send your MD the following email:
"Dear Sir,
I would very much appreciate if you could capitalize my name in your emails. I understand that you may have not noticed it/did it unintentionally, however it is making me look unprofessional in the eyes of our clients.
Thanks.
Puss in Boots"
that HR chick is probably already marinating in your alpha pheromones
DO IT
this has to be a joke right?
I think we have a PJC Jr.
Clearly this is a joke, swagon
Well, you never know...
Tough luck, just accept it and move on. A few years later you'll have someone under you and you can email him/her and not capitalize their names :)
Challenge him to a duel
A real Alpha male wouldnt give a shit about something so insignificant. OP, you are sooo Beta.
