Have you you ever had one of those moments when someone is pronouncing something horribly incorrectly and you think that you should correct them, so that they don't go the rest of their life making that mistake? Now what if that person is your boss, your senior, basically someone higher up on the totem pole?
Now what if the same sort of "higher up" is pronouncing your very name incorrectly? Do you correct them, do you loudly introduce yourself to other people in their presence, do you glance pointedly at them when someone says your name CORRECTLY?
To go even further, what do you do if your boss or senior has a booger in their nose? If you are me, you try to first ascertain that, that is in fact a booger. Then you wonder if pointing it out would embarrass your senior so much that he/she will resent you forever. Then you wonder if you, yourself may have something awful sticking out of your nose or on your face (then you would just be a pot calling a kettle black). And hopefully, you will spend so long reasoning this out, that the person will eventually leave and you will be left reassuring yourself that someone else will point out that booger to them.
