Today, I introduced myself, Pete, to my new coworkers at a shipyard. An hour into my shift, everyone started calling me re-Pete because I have a bit of a stutter. FML

Actually, if they bothered to give you a nickname, even if it’s insulting, you’re “in.” Be a good sport about it, and you’ll be fine. Or, just tell them to “F-f-f-fuck off!!”

That there's harassment. Payback in the form of H.R. Can help

Not if they are making fun of someone's disability.

I call b.s. Everyone I know that worked in the docks and shipyards were very "unrefined" characters. The kind that wouldn't be bothered by a nickname.

I believe there's a South Park episode that can explain this for you. It's called "Here comes the Neighborhood".

Come on, you work at a shipyard and I bet it's 95% men. It's just a way men bond, giving each other stupid names..

I know a lot of people will say don't let it get to you, but this could be considered workplace harassment.
