Does your job require that you wear a name tag or an ID badge?

  • Absolutely. I'm a nurse and work in a hospital, not only is the name badge a "name badge" but it allows me access to parking, and is my time clock, it also is a security issue...anyone can put on a pair of scrubs...

  • I work in a hospital too, I'm a contractor though. I need the badge to access parts of the place and certain floors.

  • No, and I always despised wearing one.  I would get so annoyed when people I never met would say my name.  It's so weird to use someone's name if they haven't introduced it to you. Strange and somewhat rude to me. Strangers don't need to know my name, I don't know theirs.  Except in Angela's case, then it makes sense.

    I would have preferred a tag that said Employee #3965. This post was edited by Benedict Arnold at February 28, 2017 5:02 PM MST

  • I don't particularly like strangers knowing my name either...especially the ones who decide to yell it out over and over...."hey nurse" is bad enough! Lol! (My tag seems to find its way backwards, often!)

  • I bet,  makes sense for a medical professional though.  There's a relationship between patient and nurse. 
    It would catch me so off guard.

    Yes, I do. Mine, like Angela's, is for more than just my name. It gives me access to certain parts of the building, and I use it to clock in and out.

  • Same for mine except the clocking in and out part. I do that on the computer.

    I don't have to actually wear it, but I do have an ID tag that lets me into my office building and then into our offices.

  • I wear a badge to give me access to parts of the hospital I work in. I mostly stay in my office, but if I want to follow any of my co-workers around, I need the badge.

  • I had a job like that for a couple of years. It only showed my first name.

  • I have to wear a badge and it has my full name and my picture on it.

  • When I worked for the government ... "yes."  Couldn't get in the door without it.

  • I worked for the state for 15 years. My ID badge also opened the doors and accesses the elevators. Now I work in a hospital and have a badge. I don't need it to get in, but I need it walk around some places. Plus, it gets me 10% off in the cafeteria. :)
