No, I'm not trying to be a sycophant. It's simply that a lot of people who are the bosses of a company/corporation prefer to be called "boss" or "sir", out of a means of showing manners; respect. And I was taught to respect your boss, and show the utmost manners and respect to my fellow: Boss, co-workers, and staff. That's all, but as you've requested -- I won't call you that anymore.
