So my supervisor at work has been calling me by my short of my name for quite some time now.

First it started off with writing the short form of my name on the breaks sheet. I thought that it was just to save time at first when I noticed it. But then he started calling me by the short form of my name.

I honestly don't like it when people call me by the short form of my name like only my dad and my best friend use the short form of my name. I've just sort of let him still do it because I'd rather not make him feel bad.

Anyways, I'm just curious as to why he would do that? None of my other supervisors do it, its just him. Do you think maybe he might like me or something?

When I played sports in high school the coach used to shorten my last name and call me that. People usually call me by my full name (Jessica) but sometimes I get Jess or Jesse. Usually it is people that know me pretty well that call me Jess.
If it bothers you, make it a point to say something, in a non aggressive manner, to let him know you don't want him to call you that anymore.
like every time he does, go back and say oh I'm sorry, my name is _____, I didn't realize you were talking to me. Or make up a story about how your grandpa used to call you that before he died (I hope that isn't true, I am just trying to give you some ideas) and it makes you sad every time some else does it.

I have a bunch of guys at work that call me all kinds of things. There are a bunch of guys from other countries so they use there own way of shortening names. I have been called Jessicita a lot. One guy always calls me that. It doesn't bother me, I think it is cute. A sign of friendship.

It could be that he knows someone with the same name and is used to using that version of it, or it could be that he thinks the long form is too formal and wants to be casual and friendly with you. I wouldn't read too much into why he's doing it, but if it makes you uncomfortable, just be polite and honest about it. Next time he calls you by the short name, just say, "Actually, I prefer ______" and I'm sure he'll be fine with it.

Superstrength79 Yes I agree. If you want him to use the long version, just say so. The sooner, the better. - 3 months ago
BringerofDawn Dont worry about your supervisor being a rapist, and just tell him this. There should be no problem at all then. - 3 months ago
