I don’t want to dox myself, but I’ve been at my job for 5+ years. I guess either my boss or I fat fingered something while I was on boarding, cuz just now I was going over some paperwork and… As far as my job is concerned I’m Native American. I am very much white. Nobody ever brought it up.
I couldn’t find an easy way to change it and I’d rather not talk to HR if it’s not a big deal. So, forget about it? Call HR?
Oh man, I have something sort of similar going on. My company apparently appends a disclaimer at the end of our emails sent externally but doesn’t show up on our end at all. I noticed when re-reading an email chain with my quoted reply and there was a huge block of text… in Spanish. I’m not sure if I’m even supposed to have a disclaimer at all (could be on by default for everyone) but certainly not in Spanish since I don’t speak it. Such an odd thing and also leaves me wondering did someone fat finger something or what the hell happened? It feels especially weird because my last name is Spanish origin and people do frequently mistake me for being Latina (I’m Filipino lol.) Even if I did speak Spanish though, all of my business is within the US so it wouldn’t make sense to have the disclaimer exclusively in Spanish.
