Identity Crisis
The problem with having two employees with the same name is that phone calls from clients end up being routed to the wrong person or the boss might call out the person’s name and the employees will have to scream “which one?”
But in this hilarious HR story, one employee got fired for refusing to work after discovering he wasn’t getting paid. The payroll issue was the result of the other employee with the same name, which HR kept misidentifying. And it took months to get things sorted out.
