thanks for advice.

Answer 1

you can always use the formal last name.

like Mr. Smith or Mrs. Jones.

Answer 2

You should always stick with "sir" or "Ma'am" when you are addressing someone respectfully.  Do that until they direct you to call them something else.

Answer 3

hey dough head

Answer 4

Saying Sir or M'am instead of a person's name is a very good way of showing respect to someone.

For example, you good greet a fellow co-worker with a nice casual greeting like you already mentioned, "Hey, bro."  If the co-worker is older than you, you would be better of saying, "Good morning, friend."  If you want to greet your manager, "Good morning, sir [or m'am]" is always nice.  Add your beautiful smile to your words, and what you say will be elevated to greater heights.

I hope you enjoy the rest of your day, friend.
