I know one of the reasons that I plan on taking my fiance's name when we marry is because I am going into the same field my father is in, and he is very well-known. It's not that he could have a negative influence on my future career--it could only be positive, as he is very successful and considered a leader in his field. He has won a number of awards associated with his profession and held a lot of leadership positions in professional organizations, so any name recognition would be good for me--but I'd rather stand on my own two feet.
And I would never, ever let my dad "set my boss straight", and my father would certainly never offer to do so. That's flat-out unprofessional. Suck it up or quit.
