[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My bosses call me "young lady" all the time, in a sugary manner and I think it's cute (FWIW they call the young guys "young man" too - I'm 27). The other one [b](the one I report into) calls me kid,[/b] which I dont mind either, considering he treats me like the best employee ever. I think people look for all kinds of ways to be offended nowadays and everything becomes a walk-on-eggshell task not to offend people like the OP, which is a pain in the ass. If people want to insult you, there are 3000 ways to do so that do not involve the word lady. Stop looking for reasons to be offended. Life is already too hard.[/quote]

Great that you think it's cute and you don't mind, but that would not be acceptable to me. I don't go around calling the boss "grandpa".
I would feel that they don't take me seriously as a professional and my career advancement would be stunned in that workplace. [/quote]

I have received two promotions and three raises since I started working here 6 months ago. I have no reason to think that him calling me kid is going to impact me negatively whatsoever. As a matter of fact, his great reviews of my job performance were the reasons for promotion #1 and promotion #2 was solely his idea. [/quote]
