[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a PhD. My colleagues (with and without PhDs) all call each other by our first names, but my degree is in my email sig as is customary for my company and job. When I’m introduced for take or such it’s always Dr. X. My Twitter handle is also Dr. X. But I would never make a peer or colleague call me that I had one time I was working with an external partner (subcontractor on a project I was leading) who corrected me when I called him by his first name and he insisted on being called Dr. Y so I came back with “then you can call me Dr. X). I think that exchange in part had to do with the fact that I am a young white female and this person happened to be an older Black man whose degree came from an online for-profit university...[/quote] You do not come across favorably in this anecdote, PP.
