let me guess, corporate autogenerates usernames based on lastname + initials and their name is like, Beth Agnes Master?

    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.

    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

    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.
