    I prefer... "Hey you"... but, yes, I call them by their names.

    used to call by the first name when i had one (but she is my good friend) but at the moment i am self-employed and work for myself so no need to.

    At my last job, we all used first names. Whether you were talking to the chairman of the firm, or to someone that worked in the copy center, we used first names.

    I do remember the receptionists using Mr. ___ and Mrs. ____ when they spoke to attorneys, but that was unusual.

    My boss insists on all of us referring to him as Captain James.

    I kind of have two bosses, one woman, one man, call both by their first names, but I call the CEO . . . Dr. _____

    I do, but I get a lot of strange looks from everyone for referring to myself in the 3rd person all the time.....

    Yeah, I got 2 jobs, I call both bosses by their 1st names. I figure i'm an adult he/she are adults we are both equals. They don't mind. Other's call one bloke Mr. I think he is closer to him then others because I always go out of my way to say hi to him, have a joke with him, and bag out his football team.

    All of the staff members usually use first names...but we call each other by last names a lot of times. We also have nicknames for each other. I work in a jail and it is REAL laid back!
