[Economist2010]

Can I say:

It taught me that all employees are equal, and this is obvious in greeting all without a title" from office boy till CEO.

It taught me that all employees are equal, regardless of titles, and the CEO is equal to the office boy in terms of employment.

I am not sure what you mean by "equal" there.

I mean by equal that CEO and office both are employees for the company so we can't put titles (Mr./Ms.) For any of them. Hope now you got the idea.

I guess you could say we can't give them titles or we shouldn't call them by those titles. (Of course, they already have those titles.)

I suggest the following:

It has taught me that all employees are equal regardless of their job titles, from CEO to the office boy, and that I should address any of them with his/her name, without titles (i.e. without Mr/Ms).

I suppose it depends on the culture of the company. And the country.

Are you talking about first name or family name?

 

[Charlie Bernstein]

Can I say:

It taught me that all employees are equal, and this is expressed in greeting all by their first names, from office worker to CEO.

In many or most English-speaking workplaces, it's rude to call a worker a boy or girl.

Now you know!

It taught me that all employees are equal. Regardless of titles, a CEO is equal to an office assistant in terms of human value.

It taught me that it is best to greet all employees simply, disregarding titles. A CEO is equal to an assistant in terms of human worth.

1. It's often better to use two short sentences than one long one.

2. When you say "in terms of employment," it means that a CEO's job is the same as a low-level employees. I don't think that's what you want to say, so I changed it.

If you use the first name: Charlie.
If you use the family name: Mr Bernstein.
Don't call him Bernstein or Mr Charlie.

Also, don't think that people on phonelines sound 100% friendly if they call older strangers by their first name- many think it is over-familiar. My Mother, nearly ninety, hates it.

I am pretty sure that equal is not the right word. For example, Charlie and I are not equal. (He is smarter than I am. ;-) ) You could say that everybody wants to be treated with respect, and that's the way they should be treated. I wouldn't go around calling people I am barely acquainted with by their first names. (Some will not object, but others might.)

A good habit to get into is saying "What do want me to call you?" Then they will tell you.
