Just call me “Chainsaw”
Memorable nicknames are common for executives — but they’re appear to be less common among SmartBrief on Workforce readers. Only 16 percent of you confessed to having a nickname in last week’s poll. (Or perhaps you just don’t know your nickname. You might want to check in with your staff.) Nicknames can foster camaraderie, or they can pigeonhole people. It’s all about context.
What are some of the best work-related nicknames you’ve come across in your career?

We have a fella in our sales department we call "Cookie". No, he's not overweight, and he does not have a penchant for sweets. "Cookie" was once responsible for making sure our best clients receive their shipment of sweets each holiday. I think I've forgotten Cookie's real name!
