One solution that nobody has mentioned yet is choosing a work name. It is easier if you have a distinctly Jewish name and will be working with non-Jews but even if the company is frum and the clientele is all frum, your boss should have no objections if you either a. choose a nickname that you don’t go by, and without explanation, tell him that’s what you’d like to go by at the office, or b. tell him that you are uncomfortable going by your first name, but don’t want to make waves, and would like to choose a different name for work.
