Def not mad. If anything, sign of endearment. 

Oh no, I do this to coworkers all the time! Is it rude? I've thought initials were cool ever since AC Slater!

I think using initials is an indication that the individual thinks you’re cool AF. Ride with it, EB.

I personally LOVE when someone calls me by my initials, and it started mostly at work. I think it’s cute and fun.

Oh I don’t think they’re annoyed. I think it’s a sign of familiarity or closeness. A sign of friendship!

i personally would find it very strange. but that's only because my IRL initials are the common name for an extremely famous disease. It'd be like, "wassup, rabies?"

But otherwise, i think it's a term of endearment!

This could go in the Work, Bitch group too, but decided to post it here. I have been corresponding with someone for a few weeks, so I try to do the polite thing and give them at least a week in between follow up emails. Today the person replied by saying "Hi EB"... not "Hi Everything" and I thought this was so strange! I feel like if I did this to someone I would definitely be annoyed at them...

Addressing someone by their initials?
