I have a couple of coworkers who dont use my preferred name when speaking to me or about me with other coworkers. Ive reminded them each at least 7-8 times that Id prefer they use my lifelong nickname and not my legal name. One will usually use my preferred name for a couple of days after being reminded but then always goes right back to the one I dont like.

Its not a major difference in names either. Think Joseph asking to be called Joe or Richard asking to be called Rick. Pretty easy to remember. When youve asked them multiple times to call you Joe and they continue calling you Joseph, its just disrespectful.

How should I address this so they will start remembering? Though at this point it seems less like a memory issue and more of an Im doing this because I know it annoys you issue.
