办公室礼仪：如何称呼对方

 　　Every office has its own protocol¹ for who is called by his or her first name and who is called by his or her title. New employees² should follow suit, after listening carefully to how people are addressed. 这样才能保证不会无意的冒犯别人。毕竟，好的人际关系在公司中也是非常重要的。

　　If yours is a "title" office, but you call your boss Charlie when meeting alone, you should still call him Mr. Dodd when others are around. 公众场合要注意维护领导的权威嘛！

　　If yours is an informal³ office, you still should wait for the other person to say, "Please call me Jim."亲密关系不是一下子就能建立起来的，不要还没取得好感就先冒犯了他。

　　Everyone, no matter whether the office is formal of informal, has a name. No assistant should ever be referred to as "my girl." She is, if a possessive must be used, "Charlene Walter, my assistant," or "Angela Badalato, my assistant." 尊重每个人的独立性是建立良好人际关系的第一步。
