Today, I was in a work meeting because our clientele is unhappy with our service. I was in there because I don't correct our customers when they get my name wrong. My name is Blane, but "Blair", "Blake", "Lane", and "Glenn" got rave reviews. No one picked up on this. I hate my job. FML

Today, I had an interview for a pretty interesting job. Everything was going smoothly until I referred to their company by the wrong name, not once, but three times. They politely corrected me each time, but I could see the resentment in their eyes, especially because it was the name of their main competitor. I probably won't be getting the job, huh? FML

I'm sorry to hear that, Gary. Anyways, Blair, Blake, Lane and Glenn have been doing such a good job, they have all been promoted and you are now their assistant. Now, you have to get breakfast, lunch and coffee for these guys, pick up their dry cleaning and buy birthday presents for their little snot-nosed kids. Just be happy they kept you on when those other four guys were so much better than you. Get back to work, Brian.

You mean that you actually have co-workers with those names or you just let non-existent people take credit for your work? And why did you let other "people" take credit for your work anyway? I can understand not correcting a customer, but when it comes to the office, get a backbone and speak up, man. YDI.

YDI for having such a silly name. It sounds like an American **** movie character.

actually, I like this guy a lot better than people with ridiculous names that no one would ever get right that feel the need to correct everyone that mispronounces it....the best are the "ethnic" names like laafonisha and nyqueesha...."no, sorry, it's nyqueisha with a silent h".....

It's not easy to find a different job, and having it on record that you quit for an asinine reason won't help. OP is lucky to have a job, but he should correct everyone regardless.

It's not easy to get a different job these days, and if OP had on his record that he quit, his chances of getting a new job are slim to nil. He's lucky to have a job at all, but he shouldn't be afraid to correct people about his name.
