    Yeah. I don’t mind calling you whatever you like if you tell me. Otherwise I just don’t give a shit and I’ll call you whatever I feel like.

        I know you’re kidding, but I work in a corporate environment, wouldn’t it be great if we could skip the introduction phase in meetings.

          Maybe everyone could wear a nametag with name in large letters and we could just get the job done.

          Introductions are fun, everyone is just nervously waiting for their turn and not listening to anyone else. No names or titles or whatever are remembered in big introductions. So either I just say “My name is <name> and I work with <task> at <location>” and I know that it’s already forgotten.

              No, usually in meetings those intros help separate managers from technical staff, so I know who will actually be useful to talk to.

                The crux of the problem, just tell the engineers where the other engineers are, don’t even need to exchange names, we’re happy just calling each other engineer until we need to. Kind of prefer it actually.
