This doesn't sound culturally insensitive. Sounds like they would have done the same with two Americans who preferred to be called Mike and Michael - to the extent that they put those names on their resumes.
It does seem a little inflexible and not forward-thinking, though. If you insist on everyone being firstname@company.com you are going to have a clash within your first 30 hires.
- koliber 2y agoYeah. The inflexibility is the problem. We told them and they ignored it.
- watwut 2y agoPiotrek is diminutive of Piotr - it was grammatically correct to call both guys both names in Polish. That being said, HR giving people the name they put on CV is correct. It was not culturally insensitive at all. The naming policy that cant handle two Toms or three Janes in the same team is shortsighted at best.
