Well to be fair the title of someone is a very different use from the American colloquialism of "hey guys" isn't it not?
But language is a funny thing, because words always recycle themselves and find new uses.

YesSurely if Guys is from Guy Fawkes, then it's a British idiom borrowed by them, that's made is back over here!
The feminists (and BBC) will soon put a stop to it and want to use a mixture of guys and gals - like 'guals'

I would start looking for another job if that is actually realDo you use it? Apparently you’re supposed to use words like “team” instead , due to the negative Guy Fawkes etymology.
Personally, I hate it. I use “chaps” if I’m talking to men, “folks” if it’s a mixed audience.
You know it predates the musical by 345 years, right?You know Guys and Dolls isn't' a musical about the Gunpower plot, right?
