Many companies use one's first initial and last name for email addresses. Well, sometimes, that doesn't work. Enjoy this one.
This Woman's Name Is Going Viral On TikTok Because Her Employer Said It "Doesn't Fit The Company Email Structure," And You'll Laugh But Go, "OHH I See" (yahoo.com)
I think there are at least two or three people here who would very much enjoy having that as their company email address.
Oh yeah I would trade with her in a second
It cuts both ways. In college I knew someone whose last name was 'Ruth' and first name started with 'T', so got the address 'truth@<school>.edu' :)
When I read the headline I guessed that her name would be Francine Uckman.
I'll bet Markus Bison is pleased.
There were Sam and Stephen Hitt that I've seen, the one with shorter tenure was #1 and longer #2.
One of the facilities I test at used the first initial last name structure and one of the engineers wound up with CHicks@<facility>.com
It was always worth a chuckle when I had to send him emails.
Friend of mine usually has to get the corporate email people to create him a <lastname>@<company> because his initial and last name together are somewhat derogative in English.
Fantastic.
First name Scott. Last name Hatfield. So I get shatfield. Say it out loud.
I learned to be very careful with automating file names years ago when our naming convention was the first four letters of the client's last name, followed by the first letter of the first name. Mr. T Cunningham's data really drove that point home.
I have an unusual first name and a long and hard to spell last name. When i first started where I work now, I asked if I could just get the shortened version of my first name @ the domain, because chances are no one else will ever show up with this name, and my full name is large and tough to spell.
And they went for it.
So now me and the owner and one other guy who was there on day 1 have just "firstname@" at a 250 person company. Its pretty great.
Years ago we had staff from Japan supporting our trackside development software. One of our guys reported some 'F'd up data' to the Japanese guys. They created a directory on the server for software issues labeled "Fxxxxd Up Data" that lasted for years before one of the managers spotted it and had them update it to a more appropriate name.

That's great.
We have a new project engineer. We have a whiteboard that's our 3 week project coverage calendar (late duty, weekends, and if you're off).
Everyone does time off by putting their name at the bottom of the day, and "Off".
This coming Friday is a big one for vacation (Labor Day) and so he's like 4th name to go the board as being off.

"Hey Jack, we usually just write 'off', why'd you go with......ohhh. Got it! Carry on!"
This is one of the funniest threads I've read here in a long time! Thanks J.A. 😁
I used to work for private college locally. One of the employees sames was Tanya Estes. We used to laugh about her email being testes@company.com. She didn't think it was as funny as we did.

I can relate as I had dog named Jack. I quickly realized that I had to be real careful on a lot of things I said.
It was "Jack ... down"
"Hello Jack"
And when I went in the backyard, I sometimes knew Jack s#!t.
As a funny aside, when AC/DC's "Here Come the Jack" came on the radio once, he absolutely went crazy, wondering, "Why are they saying my name over and over again?!"
