[quote=Anonymous]In my workplace, leadership constantly confuses all the South Asian employees with each other and all the Latino employees with each other. They see a Latino person in a meeting and just guess at their name using common names like Garcia and Rodriguez. Often even when they have a memo in front of them with the correct name on it.

OP, I think part of the reflection has to be about the fact that these women are experiencing this all the time - I'm hearing you say you're super embarrassed and want to fix this otherwise, "it will appear I'm not taking this seriously". I'm glad you're motivated to fix this, but I'm not sure you're convinced that what you did is primarily harming someone else versus embarrassing to you. It probably wasn't fun for your manager to bring this up and she did you a kindness by doing so.

FWIW, it's not normal to mix up the same people's names up this many times. To be fair, the incident a couple of weeks ago should have been brought to your attention immediately ("Oops, I think you meant to send this to Brenda, not me") and it's also weird that it wasn't. But yeah, they are weirded out because what you are doing is weird.[/quote]
