It's common for German people to just answer the phone with their surname at work. He wasn't being offensive.
Well, ", hello?" is quite common. But just shouting Fick! when answering a call is always on purpose, no matter if it's your actual name.
I live in Germany, it's how people answer the phone here, often. Not everyone but a lot, no Hallo after, just name.
I live in Germany as well and with a name like Fick, answering the phone in this manner is a statement.
