[quote=Anonymous]Question for those who have worked in Senate offices....

I watched Tara Reade give an interview.  It was on Democracy Now, but I don't know if they actually did the interview or were just showing a clip.  In the interview Reade recounts the events surrounding the alleged assault.  She specifically says that it started with someone in the office telling her that "Joe" wants his gym bag.

I know this seem insignificant, but it seemed odd to me that any staffer would call the boss (Biden) by his first name.  I thought everyone in the office called the person they worked for by "the Senator" or "Senator Biden."

When I worked for judges, we ALWAYS called them "Judge (Last Name)"  The secretaries who worked there for years and years called them "Judge (Last Name)".

I was under the impression that ALL the staff in a senator's office would only call the Senator by their title.

Which makes me wonder about the rest of her recollections, such as Biden supposedly saying "you're nothing to me" and "c'mon man, I thought you liked me."   Those just seem really odd statements and they don't ring true to me.

But, my question is really about whether a senate staffer would ever call a senator by his first name, "Joe wants..."[/quote]
