[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is OP. There seem to be a lot of people here who feel that I'm out to get this guy, that I'm going to somehow use this fact against him or file a complaint or trip him up, and then there are a number of people who feel that I'm oversensitive or pitiful or whatever. I'm trying to help this guy. I get that some of you think this is a character-plus for him, a show of respect that he calls women by an honorific. But it comes across very badly. It's jarring to be in a meeting and have someone say "Ma'am, I'd like to call your attention to -- " Our clients don't like it. We are a client service unit. It really doesn't matter that you think or people think this is polite. It doesn't work for us.[/quote] Yes, that would be very akward for clients. It makes it appear that your team doesn't know each other and will leave a weird impression. ,aube even some lack of trust as well. When it happens again, immediately after the meeting, directly tell him that and tell him why. Tell him if he can't remember your name or any other team member, just speak in general terms "can we review this item", etc[/quote]
