You should always have an arms length relationship with coworkers. You don't want to be all up in their lives and vice versa. If you feel comfortable using terms of familiarity with them, you're too close. Find your friends elsewhere.


wtf? Lol I am not close like that with any coworkers. Barely even see this person, just talk on the phone mostly due to different office locations. I think she feels like she can call any younger person in our company by that name.

My dad does this in the third person routinely but I don't think he does it personally. Like he'll say 'I'm going to D.C. with a new kid from the office", kid is like 35 and my dads not even 60 yet.

But as said, it's no more right for an old person to call you kid as it is for a young person to call them pops or gramps or something.
