As Samantha gears up to embark on her third professional role, the matter has come to the forefront once more. She now finds herself at a crossroads, contemplating whether to tackle the email issue head-on or hold off until HR decides to mention it.
“Do I just reach out off the bat and say, ‘Look, you’re not gonna want my email to be this’?” she asked in her TikTok video. Alternatively, she pondered whether it would be more beneficial for HR to initiate the conversation about her embarrassing email mix-up.
While the narrative appears to be playful, it significantly influences Samantha’s professional life. A questionable email address might affect her reputation in the professional environment, raising a valid issue.
Fortunately, her previous employers were accommodating, willing to adjust her email format to prevent any uncomfortable misunderstandings. Now, as she begins this new role, she wonders how best to handle the issue going forward.
