[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. Years ago I was one of two women in my early 20s at a small nonprofit. A man asked me a question about something that happened to the other woman (let’s say “is your mom out of the hospital”?) and I said “actually, that was Larla’s mom, but I think she’s doing well.” He said “no, I remember you telling me X, Y, Z” and I said “again, that was actually Larla.”  A few months later I made a pitch for a raise and / or consideration for a different role and the president told me “you can’t be in X role because that role requires someone who can be one of the guys. I’ve found women do well in your role.” I quit. I get that the situations are different, but I also think getting names and details wrong can add up and create a bad culture. I have no idea how often my manager deals with people calling her the wrong name in her life generally and at work particularly, but I think it’s reasonable to not want to deal with that at all at work and I appreciate her flagging it for me even if I now feel a bit unsure how to proceed.

OP, i want to say this kindly because I think it will help you, but you use too many words. You need to slow down and edit yourself in all of your written communication. Slow down, re-read everything you write, correct mistakes, take out any redundancies, and add correct punctuation. [/quote]
