I… are you accusing him of losing the war because he enjoys it?

“Stonewalled”, no, that’s 13 pages of routine paperwork. I had to do more to see the doctor.

Sorry, I meant professional company emails. Obviously people can make up whatever private gmail account they want. And people can state their preferred name, but the fact that if I call my coworker “Josh” and their last name is “Jacobson”, the fact that I can type in Josh.Jacobson and find them is extremely helpful, and I don’t get why companies would complicate that by making it “jojacko” .

I mean yeah, but it happens even more with the naming scheme in the original post. Most companies just add a number when that happens. Predictable naming schemes, at least as the default, make it a lot easier to find people in large companies.
