What does it mean when my boss calls me by my first initial?

[Anonymous]

My boss calls me Daniela.
What does it mean when he calls me in email by my first initial D. ?
I always sign as DP. He never do this before.
Thanks

Edit: I think from his behaviour that he has crush on me... so it is a reason why I ask this question.

Ah could mean nothing, and you're making a deal out of nothing. Its just easier to say Daniela, then take the time to type it. Or he feels you a working relationship and there's nothing wrong with saying D.

Would it bother you if your boss was a women and she called you "D"?

I am Dave, people have called me "D" and I never thought twice about it.

Surely you're not this naïve?

Never sign using the initials "DP" and he's hinting at that as you never sign off "D" either.

[Asker]

He allways signs with his initials too. It is common in our work.

[PrettyPriya]

Possibly a nickname? If you don’t like it, politely ask to be called what you prefer.

[Asker]

I really like it, because with my friends I allways signs as D. and he knows it.

[PrettyPriya]

Then good 👍😊

As long as you are comfortable with it.

Thank you for MHG

Just a friendly thing people do, i refer to people by initials sometimes, often in work we use initials to refer to people

[Fuentes]

Sometimes people are lazy or spelling out your full name keeps coming to a misspell error and he didn't wanna type it fully so he put D instead.

[jasco]

He is just being friendly with you instead of professional

[Waldoe]

it's easier that writing you full name... saves time

[Tstrbrainer]

Maybe you signing as "DP" is actually giving him naughty ideas lol🤣

[spartan55]

I think I'd go ahead and just spell my name out.

Re:your update, why do you think your BOSS has a crush on you?

[Asker]

because he gives me signals, he touches me sometimes, he smiles at me, he is mirroring me...
For everybody else I am D., but not for him.

[spartan55]

I thought you said he called you D?

[spartan55]

I think you are the one with the crush, not your boss.

[Asker]

yes, he called me D. and he never called me that before

[Asker]

my coworker thinks the same about the situation, that my boss has crush on me

[spartan55]

So have a fling with him then, always a good idea.

[Danny_dan92]

He’s making it simple

[Iron_Man]

It doesn’t mean that much

[Avicenna]

Just being informal

[noohair]

Lazy to type?
