Today, after months of correcting him, I got so used to my boss calling me "Alex" that I didn't respond to my own name several times today. FML

1Nsan3 tells us more.

Op here forgot to mention name tags break company dress code sadly

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.

I hate when bosses think they can call there employees what ever they want just because they pay you.

Great, if you screw something up at work, he'll always think 'Alex' did it :)

That's pretty disrespectful. Have you talked to him about it? Not just correct him, but actually talk about why it's rude and how it negatively affects your work.

my name is Jeff.

One of my managers calls me Alex too even though my name is Alexis. I always corrected him, but three years later, he still calls me Alex so it's pointless haha. But when you go home OP, just tell yourself your name a few times before bed and it might help =P haha.

Well I'd fit right in

Just like Jerry/Gary/Larry from Parks and Recreation .

Has Alex from Target gone too far?

Do you work at target?

You don't work at target by any chance? Edit: a million people beat me to this joke already.

I assume your name is 'Alec'? That's my boyfriend's name and my grampa still calls him 'Alex.' I (kind of) feel your pain, OP

Op here and nope it's Andrew

hahaha. And how your boss got Alex from Andrew we will never know.

He's French? Lol but seriously

there is a solution for this issue..just call your boss by some different until he calls you by correct name...
