Michael, a construction worker for the organization, is gay and his coworkers are calling him "Princess".
How could he respond?
1. I know you think you are funny, but I really don't like you calling me that. You can use my actual name, Michael. Thank you.
2. My name is Michael, please use my name, thank you.
3. Please stop calling me Princess (or any other derogatory name)
Michael doesn't HAVE to respond at all. He could file a complaint and let the investigation figure it out.
Teasing like this should never be done in the workplace.
