I worked at a theater for almost 2 years. Never learned the names of all the managers which was kinda amazing considering I was (unofficially) accountable to all of them (I was a projectionist, I was only technically accountable to my manager, but I had to fulfill any projection or technical needs the other managers had). I only knew the names of my manager, one of the women at the box office (she was really nice and the only one who regularly said hi when she saw me come in, and bye when she saw me leave), and then about 2 or 3 other managers.
Names are hard, except when they aren't. I only remember names if it's something my brain decides is important. Not if I think it's important, if my brain thinks it's important. My brain usually doesn't think it's important.
