let me guess, corporate autogenerates usernames based on lastname + initials and their name is like, Beth Agnes Master?
Nailed it.
Had one that was first name+last initial, and the guy’s name was (along the lines of) Gil Ferguson
Ex coworker of some friends of mine had an autogenerated email that almost read “go fuck yourself” in our language once you added the domain. Like close enough that anyone would see it. Not at work though. University. Unfortunately said university changed their domain.
They changed the domain instead of the guys email?
That was part of a larger rebranding, though I like the mental image you just gave me with that question lol
Why are you mocking Master Ba? Have you no shame? /s
Worked in IT for a bit, had an email system that defaulted to first initial + last name (e.g. John Henry would be jhenry@…)
I’m proud to say I maintained professionalism while helping a Susan Hart change her email
So this post is actually not my #1. My favorite is an email for “Samuel Harting”. I’m going to post that screenshot one of these days.
Keith Hunter… Username KHunt. I sat in front of AD for like 10min going “should I? If I don’t, and someone asks why isn’t it standard, is ‘it’s vulgar’ defensible?”
I done doo-ed it, and the next morning my boss was like “so I see you made a new user last night…”
He agreed with the decision though, so that was a relief.
But it’s spelled “masturbating” not “masterbating”.
