I'm joining Spotify next month and I have asked to get a specific username. However the recruiter told me that they have a "litigation policy" and therefore they can't give me what I want but they gave me $lastname$firstname. That sounds like bs to me, also given that I have seen people with a different username. Worth fighting it? My username is pretty important to me
Oh, this is absolutely the most important, defining moment of your career. Vote with your feet and quit day 1 by sending out a company-wide email citing your username
Fight for it. It's what MATTERS to you
You go girl/boy..more power to you.(trump face)
TC at Spotify?
Fight to the bitter end!
Is this username be used with internal systems ? If they have automated worker onboarding process which suppose create accounts in all internal systems like ldap , ad, gsuite etc then they might not accept your request to choose your own, depending on if their onboarding process allows workers to choose email and username or not . If they have a manual process then they should be able to do it . Regardless you might be able to get alias.
Totally! I fought for my username too. Finally got HR to approve of “thisguyfucks”
