The problem is amplified when someone is trying to assign a task to the real me and inadvertently assigns it to the fake me, who, again by nature of their nonexistence, does not complete the task, nor do they--again because they do not exist--extend the courtesy of notifying me of the assigned task.

@epicdemiologist Evidently the solution is to change how my name appears in the directory, I've been told.
@DrTCombs Like "Tab Genuineperson Combs", TheRealOne@workplace.com?
@DrTCombs Why not change the fake one to "Tab NOTREAL Combs", Error234343@workplace.com?
I have closed out my email so as not to accidentally respond with a suggested name change for the suggester.
And naturally all of the emails that do come to me come from no-reply addresses
