Not adding san after a name


My manager when she talks about me to another coworker in the same company
always uses my name without adding さん after it and this is only with me can I
know when we can drop using さん after a name?




There are no simple/clear rules for when -san can be dropped, but in your case
it should be simply because you are a foreigner and your manager is following
the convention in English.

I suppose you are called by your first name alone while others (Japanese) are
called family name-san. Most probably because it is very rare that Japanese
people call each other by first names, calling **foreign** first names alone
does not sound odd just as in English (i.e., it is understood as special
cases).
