I have this problem and while I am searching, I can’t find a solution: My work e-mail is connected to an ex-coworker on google profiles.

So say my work e-mail is [amika@company.com](mailto:amika@company.com), it keeps pulling up “Jane Smith” instead of my name.

Does anyone have any suggestions? I tried to look under the “view profile” options but I can’t change the name.

HELP!
