I understand that it may be cultural, but it's still not right.

What do they call older men? Daddy? Poppa? I'm curious.

I did not feel respected. I felt demeaned. At what point do they decide to start calling women that? Age 40? Age 50? I mean, it's pretty presumptuous for someone to be able to decide who is and is not "elder".

I'm not trying to bust your chops. I know what you're saying is correct. But it's not appropriate in a business setting.
