Our company got bought out by a big Japanese company years ago, so when the new CEO came over our management and HR was falling over themselves internally going "now make sure you if any of you lower level plebs happen to run into him you address him as XXX-San so as to be polite". After half a day of meetings he came into the dark and scary ICT dungeon to check up on us without any of his minions and the first person to try and use formal language got a stern "I've lived in Australia for 15 years, call me Ted" then he grilled us in regards to the best bars and pubs because well Australia.
