Seeing this thread title change just when our own Jeff posted the State of the Forums announcement threw me for a moment.

We got so many Mikes at my company it’s nuts. Other company names of places I have worked with multiples were Daves and even Kevins for some reason Wilson is also coming up the name number ranks.

My name twin joined the company a few months ago and now I have to clarify which outlook address is the intended recipient whenever I cc myself on emails. Takes 2 seconds and I get annoyed every time. My greatest enemy is myself.

Ask them to assign you democratic.pirate420/pirated69/however y'all do it, but with the funny number, then you'll have a stupid joke between you and yourself

Jeff is a state of mind. For name chat, my team+related teams (e.g., our QA team, maintenance team, groups we have to work closely with but not us) have three Franks and a Franck. Cross-functional meetings can be a bit odd. We do a lot of last name callouts in those, and someone who didn't understand why we were doing it expressed concern that the meeting lead was being rude by addressing everyone by their last names. It was the most in-sync I've ever seen a joke response go, honestly - the meeting host immediately said "Frank?" and four people said "Yes?" in unison.

All this "Jeff" name calling is incredibly offensive and I'd like you all to stop. It is in the same vein as insults like "Karen", "Boomer", and "Cis". I have dozens of Jeff friends, all of whom have become radicalized Nazis due to your statements and I've already asked Elon Musk to look into this on their behalf.

To add to my previous email - I think we can agree that people called Jeff are the most put-upon minorities on these forums, so please do something nice to a goon called Jeff over the next week. Jeff lives matter.

She had 0 Michaels in her 140 kid daycare but I can easily name a dozen mikes in my business unit. That included 2 Mikes as both supervisors for the same ~15 person team which in itself had another Mike. Anyway we compromised by letting her have her way.

Extra credit goes to Mike Hunt, who refused to go by Michael. Double extra credit to the Mike with the same last name as the region he was in charge of.

I can relate  Unrelated, earlier this week had a couple real learning experiences about managing junior folks and how I should NOT take for granted they know what to do despite them saying they do and to follow up often. I often reflect on the pain and suffering I must have inflicted on my managers when I was junior because I'm sure I unwittingly did a ton of the same stuff, lol. My other favourite was how guy was running a suite of tests and I asked him how it's going and he was like good, it should be done in a day and I'm like cool. Get the results and it was the first 2 passed and EVERYTHING ELSE FAILED WHY DIDNT YOU TELL MEE AAAAAAA. oh well live and learn I'm just screaming inwardly while using very nonjudgemental language externally

Michael was far and away the #1 boys' name in the US for like 20 years, right around the age most of us are. I went through my yearbook and counted once, drat near 20% of the ~160 guys in my (extremely white and middle/upper class) graduating class were Mikes. And almost 30% of the girls were Jess or Jen.
