Unless that lady has given you express permission to call her by her first name, please do not do such a thing. You need to be respectful, and culturally sensitive.

Or else, what will happen when a 35 year old man starts calling a 48 year old woman by her first name? Disrespect will set in. Familiarity breeds contempt.

When u work in big corporate org.

All this culture nonsense mentality drops.

NO. Ms is the equivalent of Mr. started by feminist, they say why should women be identified by their marital status. So, they came up with Ms, which is neutral.

Oga, I have worked in 3 big multinationals. So stop these stories.....even big corporates respect cultural diversity, and won't force anyone to be called what they do not wish to answer to.

Lol.

No need arguing with u.

Cultural diversity is not the reason why u can not call some one by their first name. It is lack of exposure.

Call it whatever you like. My last boss was Scottish. He insisted on being known and addressed as Mr. Knight. And he absolutely hated being called an English man.

His colleague on the other hand, didn't mind being called by his first name. These were two different people, within the same company.

Na you sabi, with your so-called fake exposure.
