At least a first name if family name is too much administrative hassle.

Do you work for ice?
Sex workers: Am I joke to you?
I have always told work people that I prefer to be called a different shorting of my name then the one I do prefer. Like if I was Robert I would tell work I prefer Bob instead of Rob.
Huh. After decades of working with the public, I wish I’d thought of this years ago. If I encounter someone in public and they say hey Bob! I’d instantly know it was someone I met through work, so I should probably stay mildly professional.
For a long time I went by my full name at work but family and friends were always by nickname. Now I work with someone who was a friend and was used to calling me my nickname and would introduce me to others by it, so it started to bleed.
However at work, I still refer to myself by my full name with people I don’t like or trust as much. If anyone ever figures out my system they’ll realize how I feel about people in the office very quickly hahaha.
I go by a different name at work and I do think it helps with the separation at times. Idk why people in this post are thinking it’s weird to do this??? Do you all believe ppl at work are your friends? So many people must love their jobs I guess. lol
I am really sorry to hear that you haven’t experienced an enjoyable workplace yet.
I like my job. It’s annoying but likable.
Especially the colleagues make it bearable and I’ll stay for a cold one after work on a friday to chill in the corner or on the balcony (during summer).
If you go into porn that’s pretty much a prerequisite
Just imagine this in the James Bond world. “Jennifer? That’s just my stage name. My real name is Pussy Galore.”
Maybe like the Severance tv show
Dad: “Say, Jim, now that you’re in business for yourself I’d like to hire you to rebuild my deck.”
Jim: “Sounds great, Dad! But call me Barry.”
