'I got fed up with her': Coworker keeps getting employee's name wrong on purpose, employee claps back
Pronouncing someone's name incorrectly can be an honest mistake unless it's someone you have been working with closely five days a week for the past year. In the beginning, it's totally excusable, but after a while, it becomes clear that this is no accident. This is someone who is actively seeking to get your name wrong under the guise of having "difficulty" with it. Furthermore, Saoirse is not that uncommon. Has this coworker even heard of Saoirse Ronan? Not only does she come across as unkind, but she also comes across as supremely unintelligent.
This thread was posted to Reddit's r/AmITheA**hole subreddit and confirms that sometimes the only way to call out a salty coworker on their behavior is to give it right back to them. So instead of correcting the coworker (whose name was Kate) for the millionth time, OP decided to return the favor and call her anything but Kate. She would refer to her as Kathleen, Catelyn, etc. even in writing! In fact, that's how you know Kate was doing this on purpose because she was not just mispronouncing Saoirse's name but she was also misspelling it constantly.
