Do your colleagues often mispronounce or misspell your name? What do you do when people get your name wrong?
1️⃣ Correct them immediately
2️⃣ Give an alternative nickname
3️⃣ Do nothing
Or something else? (Please share in the comments)

Try to respectfully correct them. That is best in a professional setting

Minsan, palagi akong sinasabihan na 'Jayson' instead of 'Jason.' sad, but just have to correct them politely hehehe

If it happens a lot, maybe casually bring it up in a team meeting or correct them with a smile. People usually appreciate the correction.
