And some of my other coworkers have taken offense to it. One in particular, who is one of my very best friends from college, says she has talked to her directly about it. My friend said that after she said "good morning Queen" to her, My friend responded with "my name isn't Queen it's Felicia and if you don't know anyone's name around here you should ask them instead of giving them unwanted nicknames". After that the new coworker started saying "good morning Queen Felicia" and Felicia has been on the warpath with her ever since 😆. She has gathered a crew and they have tried to report this woman. I think she is being petty and have told her she is making a mountain out of a mole hill. She told me it was the principle of the matter and she ain't letting shyt go because the woman in her opinion has been here long enough to know her name and that calling her Queen Felicia is an act of disrespect and defiance. Is my friend right or wrong? I definitely feel she's wrong and we've agreed to disagree
Crucial point of order: Is she #DogSet? :patrice:

I’m with Felicia.

First of all that “grand rising queen/king” bullsh!t is corny as fukk so let’s just start there -

but aside from that and more importantly;

it doesn’t matter how prestigious YOU deem a label to be,

if the individual you’re applying said label to DOESN’T want to be labeled in that way

then you’re supposed to respect that or get whatever you have coming to you 🤷🏾‍♂️

Imagine getting socked in the mouth because YOU didn’t wanna stop calling somebody “king/queen” :mjlol:
